The Sunni are angry, the Chii are happy, and the Kurds are disappointed. Iraqi people ?How are the Iraq people reacting?

Haha.Good riddance.
Why is Mandela on this list? Actually, which Mandela do you mean, Nelson or Winnie?Mandela
Yes, Saddam was evil. But there's nothing wrong with even an evil man facing his execution with a bit of dignity. And he'd be a martyr for some group of people, no matter what happened to him. At least this way, he's not around as a rallying symbol to put back into power some day (ie. by being granted clemency or some such absurdity).Hey you didn't expect them to show any more brains this time than they did up until now did you?
Having just watched the clip of him refusing the hood as they put the noose around his neck (he apparently said he wanted to look his executioners in the eye) I've got to say that while he really was an evil ******* he certainly had guts at the end there which is exactly the reason they shouldn't have hanged him, now he's a symbol and it's not like you can hang that![]()
Were we right to use the death penalty?
What about the date? Rushed or just maknig sure saddam didnt live into '07?
You can argue pro or contra, but at least it removes the chance of attacks being made to set him free.
Uhm.. has this been a problem in the past?
It certainly won't be one in the future.![]()
And neither was/will be the problem of Saddam Hussein invading Poland. Your point?
I see Saddam's death as a pointless act by the Bush Administration to boost morale in the iraq war, make it look like they hit a major milestone.
He should have stood the rest of his trials. Now officials in his administration who were guilty of as much evil will probably go free for lack of evidence.
To me this is a time of morning...

This was a pointless killing of a man, not innocent but death none the less. Now, that he is lost, he can longer face the full extent of what his punishment should be.

My point was that prior to his execution it was argued that setting a date would incourage his supporters to launch attacks to cancel the verdict and / or set him free, and that reason is now gone.
I don't see how that eluded you in my original post, unless you deliberately chose to do so.![]()
