I watched the execution of Saddam a few moments after it happened. I felt revulsion and ashamed to be called an Englishman. Saddam his politics and the way he run his country were nothing to do with America or Britain.
He was certainly no Angel but his country was run well his people had homes Jobs, hospitals water, fuel and an ifrastructure as good as any in that part of the world.
Compared with some of the African Dictators he was a saint, he did everthing he was asked to do by America (WMD). He also combated the divisions of the four ethnic tribes that were waring against each other. On top of that he was resisting the terrorists of Bin Laden,
He was a good leader for a middle East country who was murdered by the Americans and we British. Over one million Iraqis have died because of our intervention. The cost of Saddams death was Oil and water for the Jewish community.
He died like a man being taunted by those around him, he refused a hood and died like a man making a last prayer to god. Guess what thogh? all his tormentors were wearing hoods (brave men). But when he was captured the Americans claimed he was crying ''please don't kill me''
Yes I was sorry to see such a brave man die.

The execution of Saddam was a political necessity for both the US and UK Governments to justify the invasion after the lack of WMD was confirmed.
Up to and during the invasion no mention was made of removing Saddam from power. This was simply an afterthought made popular among the general population by the propoganda machine which went into overtime.
Had allied troops been withdrawn after no WMD were found then we would not now be in a conflict which has no foreseeable end.
The world at large was not interested in removing Saddam prior to the invasion - even the UN recognised his regime. His trial & execution were simply a public propoganda campaign.
His execution was far from the popular among the people of Iraq, despite what the media says. Hence the need for the judge presiding over the case to seek asylum in the UK with around the clock protection supplied by the good old British taxpayer.

It was a disgrace the way in which it took place e.g the taunting etc. and the Allies just looked on, says a lot about them. At least there weren't all these bombings while he was in power and although he killed many people from what I have heard the Allies and the bombers have killed more than he ever did. We should leave other countries to sort their own problems out without us interfering, but of course the oil was the reason we invaded. If they grew potatoes Saddam would still be in power. I am not a supporter of Saddam by the way.

I hate the death penalty but on this occassion I think it was the only option the Iraqis had (and it was the Iraqis that hung him). If he had been kept alive, there would be a large number of people trying to get him back into power. The hastle in Iraq is down to George Bush. We should have got out and set up an Iraqi government and supported it from a distance and let them sort themselves out.
Saddam and his henchmen killed thousands in many horrible ways and I think that it is good they are off our planet - could someone do the same for Bush please!

Can't say I was sorry, but by taking away the strongman holding Iraq together, the US/UK have opened a terrible Pandora's box.
Odd, US usually has no problems supporting brutal tyrants - i.e. Pinochet, Batista,Mobutu, the Duvaliers to name a few.

When his fate had been foretold.
Had to sacrifice himself to save the women and children in Iraq from further destruction by our creator.

The Hanging of Saddam was a foregone conclusion, the way it was shown was an obscenity,and the people who were responsible should not only be taken to task but, should also be ashamed.

Sadam was a genocide but I don't believe in capital punishment. I didn't watch the video.
Why was executed before elections in US? Was it a coincidence?

I don't believe in capital punishment and, despite him being an evil man, I found the hanging very upsetting and wished I hadn't watched that particular news bulletin.
