Bad Manners and a Bad Moon

Apparently, the Saddam Hussein execution was not as neat or as pretty as originally reported. Saddam’s executioners jeered and taunted him as the noose hung around his neck (NYT).

Whatever happened to good manners, especially when the world is watching?

I predict that the bad moon over Iraq has not reached its zenith. Uncivil manners will abide and abound during 2007.

The odds on that bet are so lopsided it is not even on the board.
