Out of curiosity, I have been trying to find out how the rest of the world’s leaders feel about the execution of Sadam Hussein. There appears to be an eerie silence. The United States is going in a direction from which there is no return, going forward with this execution especially giving the fact that Sadam was once an operative of the US and the fact there were no weapons of mass destruction found inside of Iraq And I have to comment as I watch the news there is a sense of bracing for something, like a sense of expectancy of something ominous happening. It is being phrased as an increase in insurgent violence in Iraq but I for one think what is in the air it goes far beyond Iraq
Other countries may find it hard to trust America and what she stood for. How can they trust when there will be the hidden thoughts that America may try to overthrow “my government and have me executed”. Now countries will be on the defense against America now that she has shown her hand and abused the power that she was trusted with. With this execution America has lost her innocence of being the stalwart of diplomacy by not letting this situation with Sadam Hussein work itself out on the international front. This is the repercussion that will be suffered. There is no way of telling what will be unleashed on this country by other nations as a result of this execution.

Even as the reporters speak out of there mouth there is no sense of a victory having been accomplished. It’s a sense of victory denied. No satisfaction just a feeling of “what is going to happen next”. As if there is an expectancy of some type of ramification but they can’t put their finger on it. It’s as though they talk very warily. One commentator on the Larry King show tonight says his execution was a result of his going into Kuwait. No mention of those who died at his hands being the reason. This shows that it was not the people that died that matter but because he crossed America is the reason he was executed. The people he once did business with say that justice was carried out on Sadam Hussein that he denied his people. Let that be the reason. With this execution America has fallen from the place she once held in the world. There is a ominous cloud hanging over this country today and who knows which way the foul wind will blow. The seeds are being sowed and a new day may be dawning in the Arab world. Keyword Unity
