That was quick work, Andreas.  You asked everyone else already?  I'm
impressed.  Not to challenge your polling methods, but I happened to hear a
reporter yesterday say that several reporters in Iraq had gone around
talking to Iraqis and none of them who answered (the Sunnis said they didn't
want to talk about it) were apologetic.  

 

But, be that as it may, I don't mind being alone.  I wonder what Dante would
have done with Saddam.

 

Lawrence, feeling grouchy perhaps, but not apologetic

There were a number of lynching in the USA that fit Lawrence's standard.
People were 

convicted and a mob entered the prison and lynched the person.

 

Lawrence is alone on this issue. Neither the US nor the British government
support what 

happened. Even the Iraqi government is embarassed about the event.
