Sic Semper Tyrannis

Iraq may or may not be better off without Saddam Hussein, but the world is most certainly a better place.

Oh, I don't know if Hussein could have pulled off anything on the order of Hitler or Pol Pot (or Stalin, or Mao) - although I think the Mussolini comparison is apt. Or perhaps Idi Amin. A b-grade thug who watched "The Godfather" too many times.

Not that his victims' families won't get some closure from his demise. I hope they do.

Ah, Robb. We can always count on you to throw cold water on a righteous killing.

Only doing my job. Here's a little more:

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess he had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Indeed.
