Saddam execution

One head off the hydra, really.

Symbolic victories are bittersweet.
 
Saddam Hussein is buried in his hometown of Awja, just Fyi

With hiss= 2 Sons who was killed during War at 2003


And if you watch CNN video, many iraqi said Saddam shouldn't be executed during the first day of holy days(like a freedom or July 4th for them), "This hurt the feeling of all Muslim" 1 person said, and other "Hanging him on the holy day is like a slap on the face to all mulim" one of the reporter say

Historical Shia-Sunni relations

The thing you fail to realize is these people haven't been taught any morals other then whats in the Koran. And quite frankly, there isnt much of anything moral about some arabs interpetation of it.

Not really. Maybe it'd help if you understood what exactly Coustain said rather than look at the words.

there isnt much of anything moral about some arabs interpetation of it.

i.e. the folks who run around car/suicide bombing people.

More like LIE of the century.

The crime Saddam was hung for was commited when he was an American ally.

Some quick history:

1920 - "Hundreds of British soldiers and many more Iraqis died when the British Army suppressed a revolt against British rule. Britain ended up installing a hand-picked "King of Iraq". The new monarch promtly signed a deal with British and American oil companies giving them the right to exploit all of Iraq's oil for 75 years in exchange for a pittance in royalties."

1958 - "King of Iraq was overthrown and Abdel Karim Qasim takes over." He stopped allowing the west to have their way with Iraqi oil and so..

1963 - "The CIA collaborated with the Baath Party to kill Qasim and overthrow the government. One of those collaborators was Saddam who became the new leader."

1980 - "US officials were delighted when Saddam decided to invade Iran. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution," (Iranians overthrew the American controlled government) "American strategists considered Iran the main threat to US interests in the Middle East." Therefore the US was happy to provide Saddam with advanced weaponry. They "sold Iraq materials to make chemical and biological weapons, including highly lethal strains of anthrax."

Rumsfeld and Saddam

"Iraq used chemical weapons against both Iranian troops and insurgent Kurdish villagers inside Iraq. The Reagan Administration knew this, but the U.S. continued to supply Saddam not only with the necessary chemicals, but also with satellite photos of Iranian troops. Over 100,000 Iranian soldiers were killed or injured by poison gas."

1987 - "The Reagan administration intervened directly in the Iran-Iraq War (on Iraq's side), sending a naval armada to the Persian Gulf to protect the oil tankers of a country that was then Iraq's ally - Kuwait. Using state-of-the-art weaponry, the U.S. Navy blew up an Iranian oil platform, destroyed several small speedboats, and recklessly shot down an airliner, killing all 290 passengers."

"Despite U.S. support, Saddam failed to seize any of Iran's oilfields, so he then turned his attention to the oilfields of his southern neighbor, Kuwait. Hussein apparently expected that the U.S. would also tacitly go along with his invasion of Kuwait. For the U.S., However, Kuwait was very different from Iran. The Kuwait emir was a loyal friend of the U.S. and British oil companies and a close political ally of the US. George H.W. Bush worried that the huge Iraqi army had become a threat to U.S. domination of the Middle East."

George H.W. Bush - "Our jobs, our way of life, our own freedom, and the freedom of friendly countries around the world would all suffer if control of the world's great oil reserves fell into the hands of Saddam Hussein"

Henry Kissinger - "Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs"

And that's the history behind how Saddam got into power partly because of the US and eventually became our enemy.
 
You know, this whole situation could easily be solved by firebombing the entire middle east into glass. No more war, no more Arabs, no more Jews, alot fewer muslims, millions dead, and cheap windshields for life. Everybody wins!

Fucked up, but sorta true. Not enough people realize what would happen if it was decided we would be saving more lives by taking out a huge lumpsome all at once instead of through a lengthy invasion. The decision was made once before. We wont be using that weapon any time soon, but there are more than enough other ones that could be used.

It's amazing how mouthy a country gets when it has a barrel in it's mouth sometimes. I wouldn't underestimate the fuckers in office here. They came in uninvited, but they wont be leaving till they get their goodybags, and giving them shit for it won't change their minds.
 
Stolen from someone on Digg



James Brown, Gerald Ford and Saddam Hussein walk into a bar.

The bartender says, "What can I get you three fellows to drink?"

James Brown says, "Get me something strong to drown my sorrows. I spent my life making great music and entertaining people, and my death gets upstaged by the death of a guy who pardoned a crook."

Gerald Ford says, "Get me something strong too. I helped heal the nation during a difficult time and tried my best to put the ugly past of Vietnam behind us. And yet, my death gets upstaged by the death of a tyrannical, mass-murdering, greedy dictator whose life was spent in a mindless grab for power."

Saddam says, "Dick Cheney died?"
 
Saddam = Peregrine?

Both pompous, self-absorbed assholes who think they're doing "the will of the people."

Hmmm...
 
I agree with Amid. I watched it, and I felt ...I dunno wierd about it afterwards, like I had seen something people shouldn't see. I think death was what he deserved, but somehow I think it's somewhat morbid for the world to want to see it. The only people who should see that are families of those he killed. Closure. I regret seeing it and I think it's somewhat morbid how millions will use this as a chance to see a man die.
