Hussein and more...

Gee, what a surprise, there's a camera video of the Saddam Hussein execution.  What we need next is a 3-D simulation of the whole scene for pundit analysis.  "Tell me doctor, how long do you think he lasted once the floor dropped?"  "Mr. executioner, what kind of maintenance is performed on the apparatus?  Was there a chance the floor wouldn't work that day?"  The former Iraq is a region that has almost no order, decorum, or dignities, so why would anyone expect the execution of Hussein to vary from that norm?

I heard a nice comment from a C-Span caller this morning.  He mentioned how a European CEO said in an interview how pleased he was to lead a company that contributed to his country's well being by providing satisfying work for citizens and paying taxes dutifully.  Some people still see that business is a civic enterprise, and not just something that exists to enrich its highest executives.  I hope as more U.S. executives go to jail, or pay money penalties at least, that the Looters' Ball will wind down.
