How many dictators were ever given their just due at the end of the day? Not many with the recent exception of Iraq’s former President Saddam Hussein being executed. Stalin and Mao died peacefully in their sleep. Hitler opted to take his own life. Pol Pot drifted off to permanent sleep land either by natural causes or suicide, never facing justice. Idi Amin of Uganda slipped into a coma and died in obscurity living in Saudi Arabia.

Following the execution of Hussein, member countries of the United Nations are already grumbling that the European Union has barred the death penalty and would like to see other nations who do have such penalty comply. What kind of a world do we live in when an ineffective organization such as the UN has the audacity to make demands of other countries? Saddam, Pol Pot, Mao and in particular Amin lived with confidence that their bloody reign would continue uninterrupted because the UN and others would never interfere with their business. This is an organization that is considered legitimate by the conventional mainstream thinkers and left wing?

If the status quo mentality of holding hands that is so often radiated by the United Nations is implemented the only ones who win will be the dictators and rogue leaders. The United Nations has never been high on law and order, instead offering placating solutions for the moment and never considering the long lasting impact. Why consider your own execution if you know that the international authority or governing board won’t?

Saddam Hussein was a member of the Sunni sect in Iraqi society. Al Qaeda’s rank and file consists of Sunni. The 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and were Sunni. Somewhere these terrorist cell members are seriously considering the ramifications in light of the Hussein execution.

While the big media machine cheers with the incoming Congressional Blue Dog Democrats and ponders over the public execution of Hussein, an important story and victory on the war against radical Islam failed to garner the same spotlight that was awarded to the collapsing Duke University rape case.

Somalia has long been a hotbed or was at least a good getaway spot for many radical bombing throwing Muslims. Since the early 1990s Mogadishu has been soaked with violent chaos rooted in Muslim clerics siding with the terrorists attempting to take over the region. Before the close of 2006, peace or at least some stability has returned to the area as Somalia and Ethiopian combined military forces chased out the last of the terrorists. Kenya, a border neighbor, has joined the effort by patrolling the outskirts in the hopes of capturing fleeing Muslims. Uganda has also publicly offered their assistance.

Your author feels safe when he states that it is better to fight the terrorists over there (the reader can add the country of their liking) than in your own backyard. The Kenyans, citizens of Somalia, Ethiopians and Ugandans have no qualms about stacking the corpse of those whose sole purpose to destroy and wreck lives in the name of Islam. Better to take one more than risk the logistics of a court trial with the possibility of having to clothe and feed them while they remain behind bars. These countries have no ACLU or New York Times to interfere with pro-active justice determined to preserve Western Society.

There are only two ways to fight the war on terror, an astronomical body count and seizure of assets. Never has signing treaties and holding hands been the answer or resolve, they won’t abide and only more peril will be dealt to those who are so foolishly naïve to believe in their own giddiness. Sadly there is an international body of member nations that has yet to figure it out.
