Ah well wether or not u think he got a the trial or the punishment he deserved he's gone now...

but i dont think the violence in iraq will get any less still.

personally i think they shud've made him like a freak show and allowed members of the public to throw either eggs or rotten tomatoes at him...
 
Tis the troops that I fear for now. News reports that there maybe a back-lash both there and in other countries.
 
you can be sure Bullseyebarb had her knitting neddles clicking tonight

not seen it and no intention of looking.. sounds a bit sick to me.

thou shalt not kill... has anyone seen the small print in the bible..down at the bottom of the page with a little asterix*. its ok to kill people.. ok to hang people or eletrocute them or behead them so long as your in charge of a country and you make up the laws... otherwise commandment # comes into force and thou shalt not kill.

hmmm sorry not a believer in killing people no matter what the reason..
 
How the British government can condone this sick spectacle of a man being forced to his death by hooded men, remains to be seen. The very fact that they have forced the British people to have a hand in something we ourselves, (the majority) are against, and indeed do not allow in this country is quite hypocritical.
 
dont think iraq will be any safer for it,but life has changed my views over the years so now i think tough thats the way it is,he deserved topping.
 
I'm knackered.

I, along with the Hyndburn Wooly Collective, held a candle lit vigil for peace throughout this dark night.
 
So they have stretched his neck (eventually) but what have the gains be and I dont mean the fact that there is one despot dictator less. The counntry is in chaos the worlds joe public is split certain fundimentalist factions are ready for armagedon. We will reap what we have sown and a lot sooner than anyone believes.

Sadley anyone going to the USA has little or no chance of getting in as the place will be shut tighter than a Scotsmans purse. They know there will be a back lash and due to the poncy way GB behaves thanks to the PC brigade we could take the brunt of it. These fanatics out for revenge can get in and out of GB easier than I can get a doctors appointment.
 
i think he got off rather lightly considering the people who support him would chop your head off with a blunt knife

the bible may say thou shal not kill but its only a book and ime glad the bastard swung, heres to hanging his followers when caught :Banane35:

oh dear... so eerrm... who decided what he did was wrong in the first place if not the bible? hey i dont believe in god or the bible.. i just find it strange that he is hanged for doing something the bible says is wrong.. yet his punishment is also wrong according to the bible..

dont give me the everyone knows what he did was wrong.. they only know because over the centuries thats the way mankind has developed and not least beause of the bible... a bible written by saddam or adolf would have us all with a different mindset..

bigger picture... have a look :)
 
he was hung which is wrong to what you believe and thats your choice but personaly i think hanging was too good for him, besides its your god that created him its just a good job somone was around to clean his mess up :)

peopel cried out for hitler to be hung its just unfortunate he commited suicide and i dont see a difference seen as they were both mass murderers and evil

sadly because of his death more innocent people will die because of his RELIGIOUS fanatical supporters but then again its not as though while he was breathing they wernt killing people , they will continue to do the same evil acts just under a different excuse
 
Is this the same bible that told of God parting the waters to allow the Israelites through KIPAX then closed them on the chasing Egyptians and drowned them?

Is this the same bible that told of God striking down those who worshipped other gods?

Is this the same bible that told of God telling the Israelites to attack and take for themselves Jericho and other places?

Sounds like a “Do as I say not as I do” dictat to me.

By the way doesn’t the bible also state, “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?”

The only problem with executing Saddam is that he cannot now stand trial for other atrocities he committed particularly the genocide of the Kurds and they can’t try him in absentia. You can only do that if the defendant is still alive but not in custody.

In any case who are we to tell the Iraqis how to run their country and what laws to make. We assisted in his capture and gave the Iraqi people the opportunity to govern themselves, make their own laws and implement them. The coalition forces are helping a lawful Iraqi government to carry out their duties.

A lawful Iraqi court tried Saddam, found him guilty as charged and sentenced him according to their laws. He was allowed time to appeal which he did. The appeal was unsuccessful and that was that. Sentence was carried out and the chapter is closed.

I agree. It's not an easy thing to go from rule of tyrant to rule of law. I think the Iraqis may well continue with some form of legal process whereby all that Saddam did can be brought to light. It will allow other victims a chance to testify on their own behalf and for those Saddam slaughtered. I don't think this chapter is closed yet.
