Saddam Hussein

United States

Several days ago, I read that Saddam would be executed "soon". Then, when I opened the newspaper today, I saw that it was done already. I think I'm probably relieved that he is gone...I think I agree with this whole thing, but what shocks me is that I'm not surprised by it...I'm not taken aback by the fact that it all happened so swiftly. It just seems like this occurrence should shock...should be a bid deal on some level. There are probably so many people who are really affected by this or whatever, but I sort of feel like we aren't supposed to be surprised or affected. I feel like this is supposed to feel normal, and not be questioned. I don't know...maybe this is just my perspective. What do you think?

though I think that I agree with the execution (I am sometimes draped between the agreement of it and the disagreement), my real point in even thinking about it is that I'm just not surprised, and I feel like surprise or shock or the questioning of the event, or anything...would be unacceptable. inappropriate. unexpected. It just seems strange.
