Can't help having mixed feelings about the execution of Saddam Hussein.
Seeing the news footage of the noose being placed around his neck. It struck me that this was a man so proud and belligerent in his beliefs that thought of facing his own execution was somewhat unbelievable.
Who knows what thoughts must've been going round his head.
There's no doubt that the regime under which the Iraqi people lived during his rule was fierce, brutal and terrifying.
If anyone deserves to lose their life, then surely it's Saddam.
But there's still a part of me that feels sad that a once so powerful and seemingly indestructable force has been snuffed out in such a way.
