Mark Twain on Saddam Hussein's execution

Victor Davis Hanson made a great analogy about the left's bleating over the execution of Saddam.

In Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer, a "committee of sappy women" petition the governor to pardon the murderous Injun Joe. "If he had been Satan himself,” Twain snorts, “there would have been plenty of weaklings ready to scribble their names to a pardon petition, and drip a tear on it from their permanently impaired and leaky waterworks."
