Happy Holidays and Did They Seriously Hang Saddam?

I’m sure I and many people I know regularly hover hesitantly above (or below) the media loop, but did they seriously hang Saddam?  Does this make us feel better?  Is this justice?  I realize the stupid ignorance in the rhetorical questioning of what is plastered on the news but I’m having an emotional reaction. 
It’s all an outrage, his reign, his crimes, this war, my ambivalance- it is all disgusting.  But hanging?  I guess I’m that ignorant. Period.  Are we all?  But how does this make anything better????????????????
I’m overcome by the beauty of life- visiting newborns and moms-to-be- coming home to a beautiful home with sweet unsuspecting and trusting cats and a dog and a husband that I can’t even put into words how much I love.
And I am UNDONE- every once and a while- why only intermittently- by the disgraces and indignities around me????  The comfort of blindness is sickening and I’m sure why I render myself sick regularly in spite of swearing against it. 
The point is and always will be to take responsbility -
blame is obselete.
