And All Was Right

With this morning’s execution of the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, all that is good and decent in the world prevailed.
Terrorism and tyrannical oppression are a thing of the past.
Violence in Iraq has ended.
No one will consider Saddam Hussein a martyr.
A car bomb in Kufa, Iraq did not kill at least 30 people today, nor injure 45 others.
A car bomb in Baghdad did not kill at least 36 people today, nor injure 70 others.
A car bomb did not blow up a terminal of the Madrid International Airport in Spain today.
A fifteen-year-old civil war between government forces and Islamic militants did not rage on in Somalia today.
There will be no violence on New Year’s Eve.
Three thousand American soldiers thought lost in battle unexpectedly returned home today.
Over a hundred thousand Iraqis did, as well.
At last, we can sleep peacefully, confident in the fact that no one hates America or would ever wish us harm again.
All is right with the world.
