The whole affair was totally disgusting. Hussein should have been tried at the International Court at the Hague, not at a kangaroo court set up by the victors under the auspices of a State that did not legally exist. What is the Iraqi Constitution?? It is a fragmented entity, a State that was set up by other nations after colonialism, and the current Iraq does not represent the desires of its fragmented people - because Iraq is not a natural State.
The media abrogated every inch of dignity, from Saddam, who was tried from the wrong court, right through to the UK and US leaders, who acquiesced in a travesty of justice that, rightly, should earn the condemnation of every nation (with the possibe exception of Zimbabwe), irrespective of whether that nation is Islamic, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist or Humanist.

Not in the least. All it did was fuel the fire that ruins in everyone who is Pro War, not to mention the Islamic cause against the US. Even though we all know it was mostly non US filming, it is still on us and how OUR Media portrayed this. We should have not run the tape anywhere on the news, and left it to the email chainers. Unfortunately it happened and we cant take it back, but we can learn a lesson from it in that no matter how Strong a story is, it may not always be in the best interest of the people.......

You reported: i think of that many people reported the photos of a matted looking Saddam after his catch and felt greater desirable sympathy for him then his victims because of the certainty they might connect Saddam's face to suffering greater desirable effective then his victims. I say: pay attention! pay attention! Corrupt ill f*cks deserve an end plenty worse than putting... whether the lily-livered liberals say: oh noooo! ...do now no longer execute all of us, we are in a position to freshen up this by skill of skill of doing X... i've got have been given given up on the full politics ingredient in the previous... people who won't in any respect be waiting to hold close even the basics of arithmetic (the region you will set up in some way what a 'optimum suitable' answer sounds like) communicate 'as though' they might carry close the plenty greater desirable complicated questions of politics... thankfully, it is not spectacular 2 crappos as we are all factor of a sort of fascist state (liberals properly widely used this, ***** approximately it & then carry seminars, paint paintings of paintings & so on)... Hooray for fascism! - that's what I say... it is what we deserve, lazy butt 'we'...

No, not at all. Firstly, I don't believe that he should have been hung in the first place, no matter what crimes he committed, as I don't believe that anyone has the right to take anybody's life. In reacting the way that they did, the media not only vindicated Capital Punishment, something that I believe has been rightly banned in the UK for 42 years, but they drew attention to a gruesome death of, albeit a cruel dictator, and therefore, in drawing attention to this death, drew more attention to his cause, and resulted in him being some sort of a martyr for his beliefs.

Yes - the media must show what actually happens
(& not the boring bit but the bit that not everybody will like).
It's their job - they did not kill Saddam - he died because they told the truth (& exaggerated it)

The man was a turd on the shoe of humanity and deserved to be wiped out with the due respect, none. Can those who whine so much about him please go to Iraq and and sympathise with the families whose relatives were tortured and murdered by his regime.

I'm sorry to say that it wasn't. When a man pays with his life for crimes he commited surely he should be entitled to a degree of dignity and respect when facing his God irrespective of his religion.
