Moby Hits Out At Saddam Hussein Execution

Moby has criticised the Saddam Hussein execution, saying that he is against the death penalty.

The vegan dance connoisseur also hit out at people rejoicing in the tyrant’s death, saying: “It always makes me sad when I read about people celebrating the death of another human being.

“Saddam Hussein was a bad man, and a tyrant, and a despot. But I don't know that 'celebrating' his death speaks so highly of the celebrants.”

He continued: “I'm anti-death penalty, primarily because it represents an atavistic lack of development and compassion on our part.

”My personal hope for our us is that somehow, at some point, we'll learn to not take comfort in reprisals and vindictiveness.

”Our culture of punishing death with death and punishing violence with violence seems beneath us, and it seems to speak to who we were, but not who we have the potential to be.”

He continued his blog by saying: “Executing the guilty might satisfy some violent blood-lust within us, but as everyone learns in the 1st grade, two wrongs don't make a right.”
