Had to wait until 3 am Texas time to hear Saddam's verdict live via radio. Guilty, and by golly they intend to hang him. Verdict is supposed to be carried out sometime in the next 30 days (let's hope the wheels of justice don't get a flat tire). Might be hard for us to understand or believe, but there are many in Iraq scared to move forward as long as Saddam is still alive. That fear runs deep, and for good reason. Going to be interesting to see the various responses that will follow his demise. Sic semper tyrannis :thumbup:

The Brits applauded that Iraq's legal system worked, without applauding the verdict. They don't believe in Capital punishment, as neither do many other of the US's allies.
I think it's just Capital, though, peachy keeno all the way.

Hang him high indeed.

Looks like every generation will get to see the death of a great despot. Our fathers had Hitler, and we get Saddam.
I'm glad we got him before he could do more harm.

No, no, let him go!
He's just an ordinary schmo.
Capital punishment's wrong, you know --
The UN again has told us so:

UN criticizes Saddam Hussein's death penalty

The UN on Sunday criticized the decision to sentence Saddam Hussein to death, calling upon local authorities to refuse the to hang the ex-leader.

UN Human Rights Commission head Louise Arbour said [blah, blah, blah]
 
I got a cheek the UN can kiss, and it won't be clean shaven. :thumbdn: :grumpy:

They need to face it, some folks you can't do anything else with, you have to kill him. I wish they would have picked something slower.

Pacifism and non-violence only work as long as the party in question has some kind of moral fiber for it to work on. If that's not present, the choices get pretty limited.
 
A savage end for a savage man.

I hope the families of those he tortured and killed find some peace after this.

I wouldnt give him that much credit, murderous tinpot dictator maybe but not anywhere near powerfull enough or smart enough to have a reasonable shot at counquering the world. Our generation has seen greater and more powerful (Im not going to say worse becuase evil is hard to measure) dictators fall.
 
Time to flush the toilet,
so the Shiites say.
Ol' Saddam is dead and gone:
tomorrow's a Sunni day.

Mike :foot: :D

Sorry! I'm inspired by the urban poet, Esav.
 
How can we make demands
on a democratic friend?
Iraq should get the final say
on Sodamn Insane's end.

They seem to have their minds made up,
which is tough luck for him.
I wonder how they learned to hate
his every wish and whim?

I agree .
 
He's the best known Killer of our age, unless you count Idi Amin or Pot Pal (sic?) . Hey- not everyone gets a Hitler or Stalin. This is the Big Mac Age- best we could do.

A good end for this bastard and his sons. Wonder if he'll end like Mussolini, his body torn to pieces by the crowd or will he end like Tsar Nicholas, in a hidden grave taken from a secret place. Either way, may he end in fear and pain.
 
Hang the Sow Bred Basturd high Indeed!!!! And pray the nooseman misfigures his weight so that he slowly strangles to death while writhing in pain trying to draw his last breath rather than having his neck snapped quickly!!!!:thumbup: :cool:

Then let us all send Smoke and/or prayers to the God(s) of our choice that whatever his death brings that it Not bring full civil war and more strife to an all ready war torn country!
 
I hope we don't see a repeat of herman goering and how he killed himself hours before he was gonna get hanged.

Prayers and Smoke.
