Literaly. I am not permitted to rejoice in the death of any human being.

Even really, really bad ones like these two.

I accept the neccesity, I am glad, in a somber way, that the pair of evil deeds done in my name (installing and supporting the bastard in the first place, invading without legitimate provocation later) are one step closer to being history instead of news. I am also glad that the situation in Iraq is likely to improve - although, once again, as a matter of faith, I do not beleive that killing (with one single exception 2000 years ago) ever really improves the state of the world. Still, these two would almost certainly have killed again, and their death will probably help hasten the end of this thing, so there was a grim need. If it were my choice, I would probably have ordered them killed myself. Penance would be needed afterward. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

But the attitude that this somehow makes the deceptions right still makes no sense to me. OK, two more bad people died. And two who were in the wrong place. This no more makes a liar honest than the fact that his predecessor is also a liar.
