Saddam Hussein will be dead by dawn
Saddam Hussein will be executed before 6am Saturday Baghdad time (3am Irish Time), a senior Iraqi government official said tonight.
That this is going ahead is a failure of our collective humanity. Irish Examiner click. 1,400+ news stories.
Update: Saddam Hussein Executed.
Update 2: I’m glad to see this:
“The European Union has a very consistent stand … on opposing the death penalty and it should not have been applied in this case either – even though there is no doubt about Saddam Hussein’s guilt over serious violations against human rights,” Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja of Finland, which holds the rotating EU presidency, said in Helsinki.
That’s from here.
Previously: Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
not My Humanity, its fine.
Kill the fucker its what he deserves, it’s a pity it wasnt mussolini styleee.
It just need to get over and done with then the troops in the country at least doubled, the Kurds given the North and from there we’ll see.

He’s dead, apparently he was hung around 3am this morning.

Now that he’s dead though, all the bombings and violence will stop.

Saddam’s death will bring world peace. If only they’d done it sooner.

Does that make you feel smart Krynn. You are aware that this is just a community blog, i mean research, fuck off, this is the part where you give an opinion and i gave mine, fine you don’t like it, it doent make you jesus reincarnated.
The guy got what he deserved, i never said the trial or internment was fair, but not a lot in life is. Fuck Him.
If you really think that the death will make 1 iota of difference eiher way you are the fool, do you really believe that’s what the insurgencey is about.
You cant compare killing the leader of a country, Blair (despite the crimes he has commited) to the former dictator of one. Saddam hasnt mattered for years.
The civil war in Iraq, is one about Power Dominance and control, like all civil wars, and also as partly a proxy war. Why do you think that the Autonomous kurds in the north live in Saftey when no one else does in Iraq???
Come off your high Horse and take off your blinkers while your at it.

‘fuck him’. i agree, he’s an idiot, but you shouldnt kill idiots. lets not kill a load more people with that daft attitude. I’m not on a high horse. they have outlawed capital punishment in many civilised countries for a specific reason: it does nothing for the greater good. the need for oil doesnt do anything for the greater good. my high horse is made of oil !!

Thank you for not attacking me this time.
in the grand scheme of things the death of the chap is about as significant as the popes sac.

Comment by dodger — January 1, 2007 @ 2:16 pm
yes
Comment by Owwmykneecap — January 1, 2007 @ 5:49 pm
two wrongs dont make a right. to err is human, to forgive divine. civilizations dont need murder to survive, they need respect. co-operation, not competition. owmykneecap/edward have a lot to learn. but were getting there, people. their holes are dug deep.

While I don’t agree with the death penalty, I wouldn’t call genocide and brutal dictatorship an “error”.
Comment by Stephen — January 2, 2007 @ 4:53 pm
what would you call it then? its an error of the same civilization we are all part of, and each of us should try to alleviate the error…no differance between saddam and the rest of us

An error is akin to a mistake or an accident, not a deliberate act.

A downward Spiral. Well i suppose thats what saddams neck looks like now.
BOOM BOOM!

iraqbodycount.org puts the civilian death toll at approx. 55,000. The Lancet medical report estimated 650,000. The iraqbodycount.org refute of that estimate is interesting.
