when watching SADDAMs execution, it looks more like evil killing good ,they cant even show their faces cowards

Question

black hooded men killing a brave icon

then american soldiers take his dead body to tikrit..you are playing a vital role

Answer 1

It's traditional that executioners wear hoods, and saddam refused his...that's his choice.

Brave icon? Hardly. Where did the US troops find him? Cowering in a hole, with a loaded pistol. He should have fired off all but one round, saving that for him in the end.

Answer 2

Justice by occupiers is hardly convincing
SADDAM'S hanging on the day of Eid-ul-Azha, a day of religious festivity for the Muslims all over the world will be received more with trepidation than perhaps any sense of relief.

He has lived by the sword and died by it. It is true that he was one of the most ruthless dictators of recent times. He has been equally repressive to the Shia, Sunnis and the Kurds. But those that have sent him to the gallows are the ones whose interest in the Middle East he had once served. It is the West, particularly the United States, whose proxy Saddam was, standing against Iran's potential rise and influence in the region in the 80s. Saddam was toppled not by the Iraqis but by an occupying force and he was tried not by the Iraqis but by a court formed under and dictated to by the occupying power.

His execution will be seen differently in different quarters of the globe. However, any objective analysis of the event cannot overlook the fact that it was a victor's justice perpetrated upon the vanquished, for a crime that pales into comparison to the ones he is equally guilty of committing. These were crimes against humanity in which the West had been his partners and abettors in many ways. Alas! He will not be there to answer charges in the killings of several hundred thousand in the Kurdish region of Iraq in 1987-88 because he is history now, hanged on charges of killing 148 persons in Dujail in 1982. Thus, it will not be wrong to impute motives to the hurried hanging of Saddam.


With Saddam history now the question is, will it allow the Iraqis to start a new chapter in the country's troubled history? What is next for Iraq - is the question that we ask. And we are concerned at the prospect of the sectarian chasm being further widened that might be the cause of Iraq's eventual disintegration along sectarian lines. Can the occupying powers control the event that is likely to get worse?


It would be our earnest hope that our Iraqi brethren will temper their reactions. Precipitate actions that might lead to further fratricidal conflict will only help the enemies of Iraq. It will not only endanger peace in the Middle East it has also the potential for engulfing greater part of the globe in a bloody conflagration.

Answer 3

There are several good observations on answers. So here are some of the more pointed ones. Balance is the answer.

"Rung Saddam to say Happy New Year He said he was up to his neck an hung up very rude!!?

Is It True Saddam Hussein Was A BIG Hit with The LADIES ?? He was well hung!! "

Answer 4

Are you kidding me? Most executioners wear black hoods, thats just how it is. What makes Saddam so brave? Him killing his own people? Or him hiding in a hole with a bottle of piss?

Answer 5

Throughout history, executioners have hidden their identity, mainly to avoid retribution. Why should these guys be any different? Especially with all the senseless killings that go on in Iraq.

Brave icon, my @ss! This guy was a henious murderer and got what he deserved.

Answer 6

saddam is f-ing loser and so are you if u are condemning those that executed him. Wat the f--k do u think saddam did to all those people he had hanged. Brave icon my @$$ all he was, was a f-ing dick. REal brave how he kept cursing and shouting like a loser even when they were goin to kill kim.

executioners are suppose to wear hoods anyway for there own protection against revenge. And y do u think saddam wasnt wearing a hood? it is only because he didnt want to wear one, that shows no bravery at all. It's cowardice how he still won't conform with wat he did

Answer 7

They are wearing ski masks for a reason. Not just their lives but their entire families would be the target of Sunni and Al Queada death squads if they could be ID. It is a sad fact but this is civil war, guerrilla war, tribal war, religious war, clan, and family feuds, all mixed in with modern weapons. I don't blame them and don't think they were cowards.

Answer 8

That is normal for executioners, especially in an enviornment like Iraq where some radical extremists may be out for revenge.

If you want to talk about cowards, let's talk about how your hero Sadddam sat in his cozy palace while ordering thousands to be gassed, including women and children.

Answer 9

acceptable questioning Bin laden maintains to be at super and Bush seems to have thoroughly forgotten he improve into ever after him, and that the united kingdom and US invaded Iraq without good reason, and that i don't subscribe with the 'eye for an eye fixed mounted' theory with out questioning what variety risk unfastened lives Bush and Blair have brought about their conflict, the finished considered people taking yet yet another human's existence isn't rapidly morally uncomfortable in 2006

Answer 10

Brave icon my asss, why don't you go post this on a site that supports your propaganda.

& If I were killing Saddam, I sure as hell would want something concealing my identity!
