He was nice old man just like your grandpa. He just made some bad choices. He could have helped the world get along better. Why did the U.S. have to murder him ?

could he have not been more useful to the world if he was alive when the world court charges "the allies" for war crimes?

I am curious if there is a website anywhere that shows the entire hanging of the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussian?

Oh it doesn't matter really, American military deaths are all that most Americans care about. I'm sure not many Americans lost sleep over the fact the have the blood of seventy one more Iraqis on their hands last night.

I understand he's responsible for a massive number of murders, torture, and much more. Now that he's "supposedly" gone from the face of the earth...what is the main emotion here: relief, joy, comfusion (that's mine), or pity?

makes the person who drinks it go crrrazy? Why? I just heard about it last night in the news. This guy was having some drinks at a bar and suddenly went berserk, hitting every person in range. They believe somebody slipped a match's head in his drink.

If you'll take a little time and google all the photos of Saddam while he was President of Iraq.Notice how perfect his teeth are.You'll also notice he never wore a beard.Now take a close look at the man we all see on TV.Take a good look at his teeth.If you open your mind you'll see that the person we see on TV is only a fake.Your teeth don't change shape and size.That's why we use it in forensic to identify people.The man who was hanged this morning had a lot of dental problems from a lifetime of bad dental hygiene.If you'll take a little time and use science it's very easy to see that this man was a fake.Have any of you taken the time to notice this? You just might learn something.

and others like him, Ian Huntley, Myra Hindley, The Wests, why werent they executed? I do realise its a whole other country and culture, but if everyone thinks its ok that Saddam was killed, why cant our own monsters have the same fate, instead of us having to pay for their upkeep forever more?
