Although most people celebrate the conviction of Saddam Hussein, there are mixed feelings/opinions about him receiving the death penalty. Harriet Tubman at one point became so frustrated and dismayed with her “master” that she asked the Lord to change him or kill him. Soon after that prayer, he was dead. Ms. Tubman was so distraught that she continuously prayed seeking the Lord’s forgiveness for her prayer. As she stated, once he was dead, she could no longer pray for him.
“Then I changed my prayer, and I said, ‘Lord, if you ain’t never going to change dat man’s heart, kill him, Lord, and take him out of de way, so he won’t do no more mischief.’ Next ting I heard ole master was dead; and he died just as he had lived, a wicked, bad man. Oh, den it ‘peared like I would give de world full of silver and gold, if I had it, to bring dat pore soul back, I would give myself; I would give eberyting ! But he was gone, I couldn’t pray for him no more.” Harriet Tubman
