Margaret Beckett Disgusts Me

This country abolished capital punishment when I was a kid,  so why is a British foreign secretary welcoming the death sentence that's just been passed on Saddam Hussein?

Hanging people is wrong. Killing in hot blood is one thing; killing in cold blood in the name of the state is disgusting.

As for "cutting and running", From what I hear the Coalition presence in Iraq is achieving nothing. Our troops have gone from being the proposed solution to part of the problem. I read a quote from a British soldier who said, "now, we're just another tribe."
