Buh-Bye, Saddam

[DVCLiz]

CNN reporting he will be executed by 10pm EST tonight...

 

[Charade]

An appropriate end for such an evil person. However, I am afraid of what will happen in the aftermath.

 

[The Mayor]

Too bad we couldn't make it a doubleheader and hang Bin Laden next to him

ITA.

Yeah have we given up looking for the 9-11 terrorist now ??

Makes you wonder whats going on

Don't see Bush taking on North Korea/Zimbawie/Burma and all the other Dictators

I agree John. Hope Bush isn't impeached over this. Even I, think that thread is nuts.

I wish there had been a way for him to just slip out of the public light, I fear fuel being added to the flame.

*Sighs*

At least one evil person is gone.

And in 10 or 20 years are we going to go after the next dictator as well? We have messed up in the middle east for decades and we need to rethink the whole mess, remembering that WE in the west installed Saddam in the first place and WE do nothing while Tibetens are being murdered sell tortur equipment to Indonesia so the the terrible people in East Timor dared to want to be independant. As for life for the women of Iraq

We have made the life of 60% of Iraq a living hell don't feel so happy about that, yes Saddam was evil but we have been even worse than him.

 

[sandramaac]

No way he should be executed---the lunatics over there will martyr him. This is the worse possible thing they could do. I would make him live his remaining days as just a shadow of the man he thinks he was. But executing, will only cause all of the religious zealots and terrorist that still support him to seek revenge in his name. This is the worse possible thing they could do!!

 

[dreamcometrue]

watching CNN...they say it may happen within the hour! Good riddance, Saddam!!

 

[INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU]

We will fly our flag at half staff.

So oppression should just be an accepted fact of life? Still sucks to be those people though.

Try getting some news on Iraq from different sources than those. You'll find that not all of Iraq is a living hell. Far from it in fact. It's true that I wouldn't want to be in or around Baghdad these days.

I'm usually all for letting someone rot their life away in prison. I think the death penalty is an escape from the real punishment that a cell has to offer. However in this case it is a fitting end to the arrogant leader of a country that lied, deceived and brought war, torture and death to the world.

They already declare their stupid jihads and insist that Americans (and all infidels, really...anyone who doesn't worship Allah...but especially Americans) must die. They already take any opportunity they get to kill us.

So, please explain how this will make it worse.

Of course. The white one is kept on your person, easily reached in case anyone looks at you funny, right?

Easy there. Without the French you'd be dining on "toad in the hole" and singing "God Save Our Queen".

 

[WDW Poly Princess]

I can't imagine what it must be like to know you're going to die within a few hours!

The thing at the bottom of the tv said something like "Sadaam to hang by 10pm" - are they seriously hanging him? Do they still hang people? Or is that just a figure of speech? I feel so uninformed!
