Saddam is Now a Martyr

"Iraqis are a captive audience. Kept as prisoners in their chilly homes by an overnight curfew, those that have generators or power will be are glued to their TV's watching satellite feeds they never had under the aging dictator. It is an odd blessing and curse. The ability to watch events in their country unfold in real time, from multiple sources. A far cry from Saddam-era TV packed with smiling children, a waving Saddam surrounded by admirers and a sense of national pride. The reality was very different but perhaps it was a less disturbing image than the one they watch now. A hated and loved political leader who shaped modern Iraq being executed by a government who is powerless to replicate the sense of peace and prosperity that Saddam invented."

I'll take a dead martyr to a live dictator any day.
Fuck the world.
