Good riddance, Saddam!
"When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous"
In this world, justice can't always be done. Sometimes we don't have the knowledge or capability to make it happen; sometimes doing justice in one case would cause a greater injustice in another. But then there are those times, those precious times when we get the pleasure of seeing an evil man brought to a proper end. Saddam was a cruel shepherd of the people entrusted to him; he subverted justice and was certainly not a servant of God. So he was weighed and found wanting and now he gets to give an accounting to the King of Kings.
It is good to know that justice is alive and well.

And it's good to remember that if I hadn't been bought with a price, I would face the same eternal judgment. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Gabi.

Absolutely. It can be a comfort, a standing stone of sorts, in the times whent we don't see perfect justice to look back on occasions when the wicked did met their end- an earthly reminder that,
"They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish." (Ps. 1)
