Saddam Hussein Hanged

[Cheetah]

I think Rik might have had a point. If they are going to drop the rest of the cases since he's dead now, the victims there might feel that noone was ever held reposnsible for them.

They should've gone through all the cases and sentenced him appropriatley in every one. Then they could have executed him.


Though I have to admit, this tastes far to much of revenge for my liking. This is not what I would consider civilised behaviour.

Yeah, I would have liked to see him get shot with one of those explosive harpoons that Norway uses to kill Minke whales. If it's good enough for a whale, it's good enough for Saddam.

Hehe. Nice one.

Just point me out a whaler that goes after Minke whales out of revenge. I'll be among the first to try and stop him.

I speculate that most of the grievances with the Iraqi court are that, due to the vested hatred of Saddam present in most Iraqis, the trial amounted as nothing more than a Kangaroo Trial because the Iraqi justice system was hell bent to get him anyway.

Am I right?

 

[Red Door]

Was this on live TV? I will pay to see this.

 

[Cheetah]

I see it as someone being punished for revenge, and not for justice.

I hope his fat @$$ doesn't break the rope.

The odds of that happening are slim. There is a greater chance that a heavier person will actually be decapitated when the rope goes tight. Pop off like an over-ripe blackberry (you breath at those and they fall).

We have literally tens of thousands of blackberry bushes on our land.

Good point, you shouldn't kill someone that tortured, gassed, murdered, and basically committed genocide on "his" people. That wouldn't be justice, that would just be wrong.... :suicide:

@ AlCosta: you could probably find it on YouTube (well, maybe not) or Google Video. Perhaps you could check that Arabian television station.

Spoiler :

BTW, so would I

Sometimes they are one in the same.

At least Hell's got their bridge foursome complete now, along with Milosevic, Strossner, and Pinochet.

No. The facts were presented and he was found guilty of something he did. Under the law his sentence was death. His appeal rejected because the appeal court found that the trial was about the evidence and that evidence showed he was guilty of some thing he did. A kangaroo court would have convicted him based on false or no evidence. The justice system was only out to get him because he was guilty. Thats what courts do. They try the defendent and punish the guilty. Had he'd been innocent he wouldn't have been convicted.

Its a shame the same hanging didn't happen to those three as well.

I personally wasn't taking issue with it, I was just trying to grasp why other people didn't like it.

Did any woman weep for him?

Boo-woo Boop boop boop boop boo -ba-oo-ba boo boo bow
Ba-boo-ba bam...
Ba-bye-oo ba ba ba ba - by-oo boo boo bow

They already had that complete: Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, and Mussolini.

 

[greekguy]

Good riddance. Although I don't support the war, it still feels good to see another tyrant and mass murderer die.

Now we need to find Osama and do the same to him..

They only play poker in Hell. They're still waiting for Thatcher.

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

Now as long as we don't spill the blood of Terrance and Philip we won't have to deal with Saddam ever again.

On a serious note, it is very refreshing to know this tyrant is no longer among us, and the Iraqi people were able to justly deal with their oppressive dictator.

 

[Red Stranger]

I'm getting impatient waiting for the video and pictures. Stupid FOX, keeping me waiting.

Thatcher? Are you kidding? My inside sources say that lady, one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, has a special spread waiting for her beyond the pearly gates.
