Here’s a less than fond farewell to the thugs of yesteryear:

Palestinians on Saddam: We lost a leader.

Many in the Palestinian Authority on Saturday lamented the execution of Saddam Hussein, who received a special status among the Palestinians.

�“Saddam was known for his ability to stick to his opinion and say ‘no’ to a world power,” said Husni al-Ajal, 46, from a refugee camp near Ramallah.

The pictures of the “butcher from Baghdad” were hung in many places in the West Bank and Gaza. Some of the pictures featured both Saddam Hussein and former PA Chairman Yasser Arafat.

Of course they miss him. He gave them big bounty payments when their sons and daughters blew themselves up on Israeli schoolbuses: Arab Bank ‘Martyr Kits’.
