I have some opinions on this, but I'll just say...

I saw this earlier, while out bowling.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-29-2006, 10:57 PM

Meh, it's probably one of the few times something positive came out of the whole mess, Saddam actually DID deserve it one way or the other for years. I don't support the means, but I'm fine with the result.

**Jester** · 12-29-2006, 11:15 PM

Is it sad that I'm happy the man's dead?

*Raph's Girl* · 12-29-2006, 11:22 PM

Just checking...

Maybe a better question would be is it wrong of me to want to tell the leader of Human Rights Watch to stick it up his poop shoot.

I didn't know that. But did you know that some places in America allow you to marry your first cousin. I read somewhere that non related couples have a 1-2% chance of having a baby with defects, and cousins' babies have a 2-3% chance.

*Sewer Bull* · 12-30-2006, 02:54 AM

Isn't that a political thread that should be locked immediately or something?

*Voltron* · 12-30-2006, 03:59 AM

Good eye, Sewerbull. But GK has his eye on this thread, as do a number of other mods, I'm sure. It can go on as long as no one flames it up, I reckon.

This thread could have gone on as well. I wanted to pronounce myself there.

As for Saddam... Rest in pieces.

**Krang** · 12-30-2006, 04:44 AM

As the forum description says, the only political threads that will be allowed are ones that deal with major events (such as something you'd expect to see in a news headline), and even then, they will be watched closely by forum staff members. Besides, the other thread dealt with both religion and politics, and it started off with a strong bias, so it was pretty much guaranteed to become a flame war.

*Sewer Bull* · 12-30-2006, 05:58 AM

Expect a PM from me, Krang, I don't want to go way off-topic here.

Back on topic:

EDIT: Oy, the pic has already been posted. Oh well.

*Katie* · 12-30-2006, 07:39 AM

I don't think there's any good from execution. There are certian times where I might be ok with it (killing innocent babies...) and I know Saddam ordered things like that....but this feels too much like it was a vendetta killing.

oh well.

Venom Symbiote · 12-30-2006, 07:46 AM

Personally, I don't have a problem with this. Maybe that makes me a bad, insensitive conservative person or whatever (*shrug*), but after all someone like Saddam has done, hanging them seems kind of just to me.

The only thing I'm worried about is whether or not this will turn him into some kind of martyr, and his supporters will escalate the violence or something.

Either way, it's a major blow to the morale of his hard-core of violent rebel enthusiasts, maybe that was necessary. Rather than have him imprisoned, maybe this has more of an impact?

I don't know. It's a bit of a mess, would have been much less trouble if they just got him back in '91 as planned.

Bush love/hate aside, I think a lot of people would agree that we don't need people like Hussein in the world. The hanging seems a little barbaric, but I guess Iraq's not a real modern sympathetic place. It's their call, and in this instance I pretty much support them.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 12-30-2006, 01:32 PM

Well all I can say is good ridden to a bad man who caused alot of things in the past. Now hopefully Iraqui will contuine to flourish and become a great country without a ruler who was evil.

Oh ya, when I talked to soemone about this online when playing a game, he said one word and one word only..

"OWNAGE!" this is his exact word.

*Raph's Girl* · 12-30-2006, 02:35 PM

Well after seeing both images, a before when he's about to be hanged and an after image....the image of him in a white shroud is a bit blurry...ya can't really tell it's him.

*Brodie* · 12-30-2006, 02:47 PM

Well, considering Saddam wasn't Jack Bauer, It's probably safe to say he's really dead.

But I doubt this, in the end, will really stop the fighting.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-30-2006, 04:58 PM

The full video has been leaked. Offering PM for gore-loving enthusiasts.
