My thoughts on the execution of Mr. Saddam Hussein

The world is healthier, holier and better because Mr. Hussein was hung for the true crimes against humanity that he was in fact very guilty indeed of committing.  That said, I do not agree we were right to begin a national invasion of the nation of Iraq to depose of this horrible tyrant and murderous thug.  This was not the declaration of war against the peaceful nations in the world, just a threat of terror and war.  That is not an indication for invasion I am beginning to see today.  That said, we did indeed condemn, destroy and route the Baath Party and all of its terrible legionaries.  It was a good way to end a terrible era but it was not the best.  It was not a crime against humanity to ensure that his despotic regime did not continue its hold on the lives of the Iraqis and to destroy its presence in the region that it clearly destabilized.  What actions are taken are done.  We must learn to apply better principles and policy in the future and ensure that world events are to the health and prosperity of the greatest number of human beings on this planet.  That said, I currently support Mr. Obama's current position to ensure a no fly zone in Libya without (at least today) putting boots on the ground to route and depose of the Tyrant Mr. Khadaffi. 
It was a good idea to remove the despot and I do not think that history will be harsh in any way on Mr. Bush and our allies. 
That said, it is not the highest blessed result that we have done what we have done in light of the military usage, the numbers hurt, maimed and killed and the amount of financial commitment that was needed to carry out the Iraq War effort.  
So that is that. 
Learn from history.
Do not brazenly slander or forcefully try to humiliate the leadership of our western societies in the past.
Be honorable and support the peace and prosperity of the nations in the future.
Thanks.
