I had an inkling they'd do it before the week turned but it was still quite a shock to see it had actually happened.
Altough I'm not for the death penalty, I think this is a better way than having the loon preaching from a cell the rest of his life fueling hatred.

Altough the proceedings would have resulted the same anyway, I woud have liked to have seen this happen when Iraq was more Iraq and not an invaded Iraq. Then again, more preaching. He did write a nice letter though, of course what else could he have written to ensure martyrship..
Regardless of whether he wrote it fully himself.

i'm not for the death penalty either, and personally i don't think he should have been killed. either way he would have an immediate negative impact (martyr or preaching from a cell). but don't you think him being killed makes it look like a pardon rather than a punishment, especially in the context of martyrdom? i feel like they should have thought of some way else to treat the situation.

if anyone interested i have the video.
becarefull, its the full one

Well, american president wont have problems anymore DD .. i`m kiding of couse..i think this will make things harder for western world.. and of couse I`m against dead penalty. And also saddam deserve to die, but it should be donne by his people without any western interferance. Because americans make him like a national herou for same mad iraq men

Who are we to tell who deserves to live or die .

Sadaams execution had it's purpose. Sorry to say it, but I believe that this will bring more trouble to the region.

can saddam tell who deserves to die?

I think it would be better to be in jail...but unfortunately it`s very late ...but however i dont approve this....because ..after his death a lot of crazy arabians...will seek for revenge..!

As usual, it's a question of diplomacy and who's in charge.

Saddam was executed because he was a mass murderer, and the people who caught him had the authority to kill him.

One part of me cheers, knowing that some "legal error" will not allow him to be loosened on the world again.

The other is saddened that his supporters will see him as a martyr and rally more zealots to fight against the "Western Satan."

To Ambrose Bierce, diplomacy is:

The Devil's Dictionary wrote:DIPLOMACY, n.
The patriotic art of lying for one's country.

Presentation is important in diplomacy and politics: rearranging word order can make all the difference in the world, and can turn pure young females into dirty little whores. For example, if the topic of this thread were to be rearranged to: "Saddam well-hung," it would change the meaning quite a bit.

I'm hung too
