Saddam....30 days and counting

[anna_66]

He is gone. He is gone from this world, and is now in the Hands of God, his Creator, the One in Whose hands we will all return to after we leave this world. God is Just, and will deal with him, and everyone, in justice. We have no place to 'judge' anymore, now that he is gone. God will do the ultimate justice, and deal with him accordingly.

Enough said. This war has killed way too many innocent people for me to care about this. Killing Saddam isn't going to bring anyone's loved ones back. It isn't going to bring back the people he killed. It isn't going to bring back the thousands of innocent Iraqi children, or mothers, or fathers, that the US bombs killed. It isn't going to serve any purpose. I've never liked Saddam, but truly, no matter how much anyone hates him, this 'hanging' will serve absolutely no purpose, at all. I don't care. I hate the war more than I hate Saddam or anyone else, and as far as I'm concerned, the war is still going on, and innocent people are still being killed...each and every day. This will not make any difference.

I couldn't agree with you more.

I have been working all day the last two days and haven't seen the news and was surprised when I logged on this morning to see that the deed was already done.

I agree with this 110%. This war has gone on far longer then it should have.

Good riddance to him...I'm sure he has met his Maker and has been judged and I can only hope what it might have been.

I agree that the war has killed too many, but, we still need to leave in a systematic way.

[Twisterdog]

I really think the hanging won't make any difference, one way or another. Yes he was a dictator & a tyrant & probably deserves his fate, but there are many more tyrants in the world. Are American armed forces supposed to go after them next?

Agreed

No it won't bring any of them back but it will prevent them from having to go again. Hanging Saddam wasn't "inhumane" he was a disgusting man who deserved what he got. There was a special on 20/20 last night and even his brother said that Saddam was crazy and deserved to be hanged. He would rape and kill women all the time!!! And you're going to go and tell me that his death was inhumane? I think not.

[finn's mom]

I think he's better off dead. Not necessarily for the sake of the world, but, for the sake of himself. I don't think he was a healthy man. I have no interest whatsoever in seeing a video or even photographs of his hanging, though I don't disagree with him being executed. It really doesn't make a lot of difference at this point, but, I'm sure it's closure for a lot of people.

I don't see where PCB said killing Saddam was "inhumane"...although I might. Isn't killing anyone "inhumane" perhaps?

Furthermore, I am pretty sure it would be difficult for the people he killed to "having to go again."

I think the issue is....at what price did this crazy/horrid/evil man get his? How many Iraqis and Americans and citizens of the other nations which have participated have died to remove this one evil dictator???

And how many evil dictators does that leave in the world?

(and please....before someone goes off on THAT tangent....Iraq/Saddam ---NOT involved in 9/11)

[RICHARD]

Imagine that.....a threesome and pigs flying!!
and Team Canada makes it to the semis!!! Far out!

[Twisterdog]

I honestly didn't care too much about this one way or another. IMO, he's just one cog, albeit a sadistic one, in a huge machine of death, destruction and misery.

However, I have to say, that I am truly and totally appalled by the graphic news coverage of the hanging. My husband was watching it on public TV this morning ... right in the middle of prime cartoon-viewing time for kids!

Yes, he was an evil person. Yes, the US is going to see his death as a feather in its hat. However ... I still think showing an actual execution of ANYone on public television, on the MSN homepage on the internet, etc. is going a bit far.

He's dead now. Right or wrong, good or bad, whatever ... let it go.

"killing is inhumane"

"he was only one person it doesn't make a difference"

"we are just as bad as he is"

Well all that being said. I still say "Ding Dong the witch is dead" It may be just a drop in the bucket but every bucket full starts with one drop.

I will just say this, if someone came into my home, raped my children and murdered my family..... I would kill him. period. If that makes me just as bad fine. Even though I realize it won't bring my family back.... I still see how many families I could be saving from this man. You kill someone in cold blood, you don't deserve to live.... period.

The only reason he wasn't dead long ago was because his people were to afraid to take the chance. If this monster's death brings peace to ONE family he tortured or could have tortured then, IMO, it was worth it. I will not feel bad, sad, angry or disappointed because a terrible man was brought to justice at the hands of humans.

God is the final judge, we arrange the meeting LOL sorry that was from a TV show and I couldn't resist that line.

YES!!! Very well said!!!!!

[RICHARD]

The Canucks have always been a hockey powerhouse.


Remember, Saddam ordered people to be killed.

His fingerprints are all over the deaths during his reign of terror, but who pulled the trigger?

The media has been heavy on the clips of people being kicked and punched, shot and ???????

And not once did I see SH in any of the shots....


Not saying anything FOR SH......But you have to remember....

A idiot is an idiot-A dictator needs people to elevate him into being the King of All Idiots...


-------------------

BC,

Who was in the threesome?

[RICHARD]

And how many evil dictators does that leave in the world?

Let's see, they could be Republicans and Democrats, right?

If god is the final judge I pray that it's not a cranky old broad like Judge Judy...

I'm with you on that one Junescrater, the man didn't even deserve to be fed, so why let him live.
