Saddam....30 days and counting

Junescrater, when did I say killing him is inhumane?????????

Buttercup, when did I say I wanted him alive?????

I only said he's now in God's hands, God will deal with him in His supreme justice, AND, it makes no difference to me either way. I really don't care. It doesn't matter to me. He's dead, fine...he's dead. Its not like its going to end the war, or prevent other evil people in this world from harming innocent people.

I didn't mean YOU I meant the other person. The first sentence was directed to you. lol

The reason why it was put on tv was because the people from Iraq wanted to be sure that he really was dead. They wanted to be sure that they were free from his "rule".

I agree with you Kay, and the others who were bothered by the "celebratory" nature of this situation. It really creeps me out that people would want to hunt down a video and watch it happen. It creeps me out when people would act gleeful and celebratory of an execution. My feeling is it should be viewed as justice, with more an attitude of grimness, something that needed to be done, something his own people sentenced him to and carried out. Laughing and jeering and making a spectacle of it bothers me very much. This isn't directed at anyone here, just some attitudes in general I have seen around me. Something about the whole thing makes me uneasy, though I couldn't exactly say why. My belief is that his fate is in God's hands now, his soul is for God to judge.

The Cincinnati Bengals fans are pushing to have Death by Hanging reinstated.

The new law will only apply to placekickers on the football team.

I'll have to check that play out on the sports news tonight.

What I don't understand is why so many Americans are having hissy fits about him being hanged when the Iraqi people are the people who convicted him and sentenced him to die and were happy when he did die. He was an evil despot who was responsible for incredible human suffering...is he the only one...not a chance...is there one fewer despots in the world...yes...does that make me happy?? You bet. I don't think there was ever anyone who said that Saddam's death would solve everything or end this war, but, it's one step...tiny as it may be...he's gone and cannot destroy any more lives, and for that I am beyond pleased. As far as hanging being inhumane...I don't think so...but, maybe in his time with the noose around his neck and before they dropped the bottom out, he knew a little of the fear that his victims knew before they were tortured and killed.
