All he's got

There's a quote from the Clint Eastwood movie Unforgiven:

It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have.

It's also taking something away from their loved ones:

Najeeb al-Nueimi, a member of Saddam's legal team in Doha, Qatar, said he too requested a final meeting with the deposed Iraqi leader. "His daughter in Amman was crying, she said 'Take me with you,'" al-Nueimi said late Friday. But he said their request was rejected.

There's a woman who will never see her father again.

I think execution is the right end for Saddam, but let's not gloat about it. It's a brutal end to an horrific reign. May peace, eventually, come of it.
