What bloodshed you people talking about??? The country is already on fire, a civil war has started few months ago over there. Executing Saddam will no prove the situation nor make it better. It's good he's dead. And people should get over It.

Some of you think If states would leave the country things would get better. yea riiiiiight.

Shii'at and Sunni will finish on themselves If States were to leave right now, It's not like I'm supporting US troops, but since there's a civil war, the world better save this Country and their people.

I saw an Iraqi man on TV saying something like, Saddam doesn't deserve to die, he should be cut in pieces on a public place or something.

Capital punishment is almost a gift in these parts.

If he was talking in Arabic, I bet the phrase goes something like "Yogata'a iraban iraban" :D

well, the european union, god bless them, should mind their own fuckin business. just because they dont have capital punishment , doesnt mean that other countries should not have it.

i say, he deserved it. the real question though, is what this will bring

The people don't seem to appreciate the presence of foreign troops an awful lot. What do you suggest we, as the global community, do?

Send in the Chinese?

Life in prison would've been a much better solution. It sets a better example and it doesn't turn the bastard into a martyr, or a hero, for some.

A very important aspect IMO. Look at Jesus. If they hadn't killed him we wouldn't have had to face 2000 years of cannibalism, crusades and horrible, horrible flagellants.

Well compared to Roman and Norse Gods, it's quite the improvement to worship a carpenter who lived in a desert somewhere and odd 2000 years ago.

But keeping him in jail, would give the Ba'athis in Iraq hope that their great messiah will come back, and indeed they will try to help him escape. He already done it twice before his reign.

Iraq was stable, Andy. Besides even if it was a horrible regime America had no bussiness spreading "democray" and "freedom" there. What kind of nation Iraq is, is the problem of the Iraqis. Perhaps if an organised rebellion against Saddam had asked your interference it would have been someswhat justified. Invading a country based on false pretences, only to change them afterwards and say you "wanted to help them" is a cold blow to any form of agreement nations worldwide have had since WW II.

I just finished the first stage of the eid visits, and I can tell everybody that I didn't see a more sad eid than this one in this country...

He is a martyr in the eyes of most of the people...

What about his burial??

Did the invaders deliver the body to his family in Yemen to bury him there or what??

By the way, I was watching Alfurat Tv channel today, which is a channel for Persian shiiat Iraqis...

They are celebrating the event in a hysterical way...

I noted something which was said by many phone callers to that channel...

They said that "this execution is a round where the Prophet's grandsons defeated the sons of Mu3aweyah & Musaylamah!!!"

And they repeated it many times...

I totally understand that those ignorants call Sunnis "Sons of Mu3aweyah", but how the hell did they reach the conclusion that Sunnis have anything to do with Musaylamah??:pumpkin:

He was a baddie for sure, but I think it's a sad day whenever the leader of a country is killed. What message does it send - the US can go into a country, take over, and hold trials to get rid of people?? :disagree:

For what it's worth, Saddam played his part much to his own advantage in a trial destined for conviction. But there's going to be no good coming from this for anyone. It should make for an interesting 2007 campaign season, though, and a better '08 election.

I don't think it would be different if the American president was anybody else...

So, the elections will be useless again in 2008...

I had to say it because I was so annoyed with it...

This type of channels is the reason for all the sectoral fights over there...
It could be part of It, but I don't think all.

Shii'a in Iraq are probably taking their revange since they were treated like prisoners under Saddam, but the way they're acting is just out of control. The same goes to Sunni, and I'm talking about "Zarqawi supporters" though Zarqawi died still there are thousands of people with his mentality, that mentality the do want the Shii'a of Iraq to remain under their hands, just like the way It was during Saddam's regime.

Every dog has its day, kil kalb baj yumo, and it's about time. I'm glad this monster is no more. It is one small step for the Iraqi people, one giant step for mankind.
