" In the past, you could be killed in a bath of acid for insulting the president. I have met a man sentenced to death in that way for writing a phone number on a banknote with Saddam's face on it.
His prospective executioners listened to his story, sympathised with him, and merely dipped him in the bath for a few seconds. He had some of the most hideous scars I have ever seen."
I don't believe in Capital Punishment (as it is difficult to undo the mistakes), but it is hard to feel sympathy for anyone who can authorise this sort of behaviour. |
And to think millions of people marched around the world to keep this man in power.
