"Despite a curfew, Iraqis in Baghdad spilled out into the streets to celebrate the verdict."


Then they went back to killing the people who got rid of Saddam.

What a strange fuckin world...

Personally, I think this is the easy way out for him. I think they should just put him where he feels most comfortable, back in a hole, deep below the earth, secluded from anything and everyoone. Let him go insane and kill himself.

A death sentence will be sweet bliss for him. At least make it a public hanging for the world to see because I'd watch it. :thumbsup:

to do worse would put the accuser at the same level as the accused...

Not everyone in the Middle-East celebrated or agreed with the verdict or how it was obtained against Sadam Hussein and that's kinda scary. Personally I will be in the line-up of those waiting to piss on his grave.

Another example of how people love to just generalize their enemy into a nice, clean, single faced opponent. I hear war supporters all the time who basically think "Terrorists are from the middle east, so any war in the middle east is with terrorists".

This follows the same rediculous logic; "Iraqi's kill US troupes, Iraqi's celebrate Saddam's death, so it's all just... Iraqi's!"..... Perish the incomprehensibly complex thought that maybe *gasp* some iraqi's are for Saddam, some are against, and the people don't exist as the borg collective because they're all called "iraqi's".

Where's the Iraqis that are fighting insurgents?

Heh, people still get hanged. At least the world will be rid of him. Not like it'll make a big difference, theres plenty of others out there to take his place.

Here Here. I heard it on the radio today while i was driving back to my house after buying a big mac. I though to myself "are we going to be able to watch this" lol

What they should do is completely do away with human rights for this one person, and tourcher him on live tv... sticking pins under his finger nails, cut his eye lids off, put chilli sauce in his eyes, keep his feet in water so long they start to rot [trench foot] and so on. I'd love to watch a man that killed so many die in the most painful way possible.

I don't think this is going to turn out to be a good thing..

He should have never been captured in the first place.. but that's just my :twocents:. Not saying that he wasn't a bad guy who didn't do bad things, but look what it has gotten us into in Iraq. I don't think that needs any explanation.

lol, where do you think? They're the ones joining the military and police forces under the new Iraqi government. And even if there were none, that doesn't mean every non-combatant civilian is now pro-insurgency.

Just an FYI.... and this ones for anyone else who agrees with CityBoy,

In Iraq and in the muslim world, there are two branches of people. The sunni's and the shiite's. I'm not gonna sit here and point fingers at either group, but the only "insurgents" we are fighting in Iraq are Sunni. The Shiites are fighting with insurgents along side us and we are actually training more and more of them everyday so that they can successfully take control of their country.

Interesting point. As I saw on CNN this morning, they said the Sunnis made up the largest group protesting Saddam's death penalty, and the Shiites were celebrating it. However, I also heard a week or so ago that the insurgents were made up of two groups: One, mostly Sunnis, which are comprised of ex-Saddam military officers and soldiers..... and the other, mostly shiites, which are battling it out on religious grounds and a religious-based hatred of Western nations. I may have the sunni/shiite factions mixed up though, I don't remember for sure.

Thats very true, thats why i didn't wanna point specific fingers because i dont know for sure whose fighting who...:confused:

But, the point i was trying to make is that there are shiite iraqi soldiers that are fighting alongside the US and that group of people are the ones celebrating Saddam's sentancing.

I can only think ahead to when im 45-50 years old and looking back on this war... i wonder how the outcome will be..?

what the hell? Go figure a year after we detained and prosecuted him. They decide to execute him during election month? Hmmmm, I believe this man should be punished with death, but I mean since 1988 hes been doing his genocide thing, and now we decide to take action? George W Bush for two terms was the sign of a great downfall...We shall see.

You guys really wanna see his eyes bulge out of his head, his body jerk and then be lifeless hanging there like a wet blanket, i know it sounds exciting, but its not my definition of entertainment.

ending his life will do nothing to compensate for those people he so brutally murdered, this execution is 20 years over due,really this does nothing, infact that fucker thinks his "god" is going to give him 50 some odd virgins, he probably cant wait to feel that rope tighten around his cowardly neck.

all and all i will miss saddams appearances on south park, hilarious.

Killing people solves absolutely nothing. In fact, i predict his death will only make things worse. Those who were loyal to saddam will view him as a martyr. They will fight for their martyred hero saddam. The war in Iraq may get much worse after this.

If anything i think they should make him walk around naked in his hometown and let people throw tomatoes at him. And then of course put him in jail for the rest of his days.

Honestly, I think the only court with the jurisdiction to try him is a world court. After all, it was HIS country and HIS dictatorship, so everything he did while being the big-bad dictator was perfectly legal. Crimes against humanity by a ruler are supposed to be tried outside the country since that's the only higher power, no?

And I know you could say "Well, he ordered hundreds to be murdered and that'll get you a death sentence under the new government" Ex post facto laws are supposed to be immoral...that's why they're not allowed in the constitution.

If he was arrested BEFORE the new elected gov. was in place........still no! The "world" didn't want to get dirty so if he wasn't tried by the Iraqi courts it should have been up to the countries involved to decide his fate. Why the hell should most of these dirty food for oil countries have ANY say?

Tell ya what.....you want a world court? I have a U.N. flag and I say hang the son of a bitch!!:cursing:

Have a good one!:greenthumb:

actually, I think jake has a good point. This should have gone to the hague, if only to reduce the internal pressures in iraq that forced the country to become even more divided along shite/sunni lines.
And while I suppose the death penalty is inevitable, I think a public hanging is completely barbaric. I thought the whole difference between normal people and people like saddam, and the reason why he had to be removed from power, was that saddam apparently got off on the suffering of others and that was wrong.
Turns out the difference is just who sanctions it.

No doubt he deserves to be hanged. They should have done it the minute they caught him.

Two things that bother me about all this though. The obvious kangaroo court he went through that makes a mockery of the judical system; and secondly, the number of people jerking off to it. Amazing the number of people getting a chubby on the side lines wanting to see someone tortured first. You can tell it has nothing to do with any perverse sense of justice. In a different time they would be the same people with rocks at the stoning of stephen or the crucifixion.

Sure, they tell themselves they have their reasons, but Saddam told himself the same things when he was commiting his atrocities.
