Hangin Hussein

So should we begin to guess as to when he will be walking to the gallows?

Re: Hangin Hussein

Just read the news on the AP; seems as though many think he will be swinging from a rope this weekend.

Re: Hangin Hussein

I'ts saturday there already so I suppose he's in hell alright. I'm glad he's dead. Now let's hope for Castro's death to come soon, so they meet down there and screw each other.

Re: Hangin Hussein

If you think this is going to make a any difference in world as we see it...then you're just naive. Not like he didn't deserve it...but it's not going to make a difference...to us anyhow.

Re: Hangin Hussein

Done deal!! He's dead.

As far as Castro is concerend, I wish he would meet the same death as his follower Che Guevara, but more brutal!! It kills me to see the youth of today wearing the infamous Che shirts and not understanding his influence in south american politics/socialism and the fact that his actions led to many a brutal cival war.

Regardless of how one feels about the war, you have to admit that it is very symbolic. I wish we had been able to try and hang Adolf Hitler. Saddam's hanging seems well deserved and sends a signal that the civilized world will get rid of tyrants sometimes.

Re: Hangin Hussein

Hitler and Hussein are apple and oranges. Hitler was threatning the entire world with his domination agenda. Hussein was completely under control by a very small portion of our military and wasn't a threat to anyone except the people that he ruled with an iron grip. If we are to genuinly be the world police then we should do it unbiasedly...as it should be. The only reason we give a shit about Iraq is because of their resources and tactical importance.
Furthermore, if we're really worried about the world's tyrants...we've a long road to hoe.

Re: Hangin Hussein

Standing aside from personal global feelings, I do wonder how historians will write this one, especially when there are so many sources to pull factual/non-factual info from.

Parents be careful of what your kids read as far as history is written. I know I will.

Re: Hangin Hussein

Marcus, That was not a political statement on the war. I stay out of those. It was just an historical observation that Hitler killed himself while Saddam hid in a hole in the ground.

Marcus,

The United States did not try Saddam, nor did the United States execute him, it was Iraq, a sovereign nation that tried, convicted and executed Saddam for crimes he committed.
