I Held Off Writing About Either Of These Events...

...because there's a good juxtaposition that can be made between the two.

Our President came into power when the nation needing healing. He did just that. He knew the pardon of Nixon would probably cost him an election, if he decided to run, which he hadn't. But he knew it was the right thing to do. The honorable, ethical thing to do. I feel pretty confident that Hussein never did an honorable or ethical thing in his life.

Our President died peacefully in his home surrounded by his family. The other asshat died with a rope around his neck, taunted by those he used to rule.

Our President was honored and buried with grace and dignity, and there were no Democrats or Republicans along the route of the hearse. Just Americans. The Sunni's and Shiite's have only found another reason to spread more bloodshed.

It still escapes me why the Muslims can't get their heads out of their asses and realize that there is a better way to live. But, it doesn't surprise me. Look whom they had "leading" them and look what they have now. It's no different. I could have cared less if they hanged Hussein or not. I knew the outcome wasn't going to be pretty. And it's not. So let them continue to fuck themselves.

And on a sidenote, hasn't Henry Kissinger been living here for like two million years? When's he going to learn to speak English?
