Schadenfreude (a German word, but used in English language too): mostly a sign for a bad character. Maybe allowed vs. Gaddhafi, Libya. I self had my Schadenfreude, when the Berlin Wall fell.

P.S.:
it’s only the car of the enemy, not his head. To present the head of the enemy was found very often in the history of wars. In modern wars (Iraq, Libya) they only took the head of the sculptures of the fallen presidents. Civilization in progress …

It is a word but I won’t associate it with anyone’s name because, sooner or later, the evil we wish others comes back to us. Live and let live. Frizztext!

nevertheless, I have the guts to associate the names Margaret and Erich Honecker, Gaddhafi etc. – maybe not political, moral, religious, psychological correct – but soothing…
