When Has the EU Ever Been Wrong?

Joining the likes of the European Union, British Prime Minister Tony Blair opposes the death penalty for Saddam Hussein.

I wonder if Sir Winston Churchill condemned the Italians for hanging Mussolini.

Whether you agree with it or not, it is a very principled stance considering the non-use of the death penalty in England.

Since it was Saddam's favorite method of execution for his own people, I say, "To the shredder!"

I have to say I'm in complete agreement with PM Blair in this case. Of course, my reasons differ: I say we put him through every single torture system that he used in his regime. If he dies, we revive him and continue.

An eye for an eye is quite fair in this case.
