This is what humanity has come to. It is no surprise because it has become culturally and genetically engrained to seek revenge for what you call a "closure." The United States is probably the most voilence-oriented nation. The sports and the entertainment all glorify violence, and identifies violence as "manliness." No wonder the Shiites are celebrating this man's hanging. Husseian is a person who could only be the ugliest face of huanity. But by celebrating his death, we just prove that we are no better than others who accept and rejoice in the suffering of fellow humans. Exerpt follows"
"In Baghdad's Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City, victims of his three decades of autocratic rule took to the streets to celebrate, dancing, beating drums and hanging Saddam in effigy. Celebratory gunfire erupted across other Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad and other predominantly Shiite regions of the country."
