Requiem for a Bastard

By Hunter: Of all of Christ's teachings, the one Christians rebel against most gleefully is the "turn the other cheek"... the admonitions against vengeance and violence are simply ignored... With due respect -- which is to say, none -- don't celebrate Saddam's death with glee and call yourself a Christian... while I felt no pity for Saddam's death, I did at the least feel pity for us, as a nation and as a world, for all our religions and all our laws. The grim celebrations of the event were yet another reminder: we are not who we claim to be, not even the best of us. We have less honor than we claim, and fewer morals than we profess to. Saddam was caught, practically stuffed and mounted already. The killing blow itself was not justice met, just vengeance satisfied.
