Saddam Hussein sentenced to death

Early today Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death for the murder of 148 Iraqis in 1982.

I think Tolkien said it best towards the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, and he's a literary genius (which I am not), so I'll just let him speak via Gandalf:

Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
