Did you see Saddam being hung, would Bush or Blair been as dignified in the same situation?

Question

I couldn't watch the last bit, but I wondered how Bush or Blair would have behaved in the same context.
To those who wish to say that this is an old question, don't bother answering.

Answer 1

it was a disgrace!

saddam didn't need to be hung.

like everything else about the iraq war, it was poorly planned and had the appearance of something done just a little too quickly.

as though, they needed saddam dead because he knew too much...

Answer 2

Saddam was a pain in the hind quarters of the US. He was brutal to his people as well. I admit to being torn, those cats are showing me that they cannot handle freedom. I wonder if his brutality was just an necessary evil. I hate to think that way because I believe everyone should be free but when people who are freed start attacking each other and cant agree on a damn thing, I start wondering if they deserved our help. Also, though Saddam was evil, I do not think any world leader should be hung. I am not a fan of a world court for most issues but I do think that a prison of sorts for former rulers is a better alternative to hanging or shooting etc. Like it or not, they are leaders, elected or otherwise.
I hope the people of Iraq get their act together. Then again here in the most free country in the world, people act like fools everyday and I see a day when our differences may once again boil over.

Answer 3

Yes. They would have been more dignified... because they're decent human beings.

Besides that, just remember that Saddam was hung by his own people. Not us. If Bush or Blair were put on trial for crimes against their people, "murder," "rape," and "torture" wouldn't be any of the charges. And don't say they murdered or tortured any of the Iraq people. It's war, people. Get over it.

Answer 4

Saddam grew to become into dignified at his very own surprising? Did you hear him? Did you notice the way he acted? you will possibly be able to desire to have been drowsing or something. confident, Bush and Blair may be dignified interior the comparable subject. not act like a loopy/stupid guy or woman.

Answer 5

Bush and Blair have support of the New World Order, so what ever they do will have to be regarded as Patriotic acts. Everything was decided in the Bilderberg meeting. Iraq war and hanging of Saddam were just the excutions of those decisions. Bush and Blair are just the "mess"+"in"+gers.

Answer 6

This is not an old question. This is the oldest question continuously being asked by the generations of the man kind since time immemorial. This question is asked every time when a person of importance is killed by the opponents.
I believe that the 2 guys you mentioned (Bush and Blair) may have not been that dignified.

Answer 7

Saddam was a good politician, and knew a lot, that is why he was hung.
For Bush and Blair they live in a so called democracy which means the people would never let them to be hung.

Answer 8

You seem to forget that this man was a monster. Hussein was a murdering dictator who made his own bed. To compare two leaders of free democracies to this thug is abhorrent and despicable and to talk about one mans dignity who had none to begin with is laughable. The question YOU should be asking is did you see the look of relief and justification on those Iraqi peoples faces especially the ones who lost families and suffered under that no good son of....... Regime
"George Bush believes he is so powerful, so strong," Saddam said. "But even with all of his bombs and missiles and Marines, he has not even come close to killing as many Iraqis as I did."
While estimates of the number of Iraqi civilians killed by the U.S. ranges from 500 all the way to 10,000, Saddam and his associates are believed to have murdered somewhere between 100,000 and 250,000 civilians since 1968.
relatives of the victims pale to tell — of fingernail-extracting, eye-gouging, genital-shocking and bucket-drowning. Secret police rape prisoners' wives and daughters to force confessions and denunciations. There are assassinations, in Iraq and abroad, and, ultimately, the gallows, the firing squads and the pistol shots to the head.
The largest number of deaths attributable to Mr. Hussein's regime resulted from the war between Iraq and Iran between 1980 and 1988, which was launched by Mr. Hussein. Iraq says its own toll was 500,000, and Iran's reckoning ranges upward of 300,000. Then there are the casualties in the wake of Iraq's 1990 occupation of Kuwait. nobody contests that thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians were killed in the American campaign to oust Mr. Hussein's forces from Kuwait. In addition, 1,000 Kuwaitis died during the fighting and occupation in their country.

This dark page has been turned over," Rubaie said. "Saddam is gone. Today Iraq is an Iraq for all the Iraqis, and all the Iraqis are looking forward. ... The Hussein era has gone forever.

Answer 9

Saddam wasn't dignified, he was scared shitless. Didn't you know he was hiding in a hole in the ground when he was caught?

Saddam killed more Iraqi's every year than the total insurgents killed in Iraq. There was no way those people was going to let him live. They are now mad at us for not releasing more that they want to executed... on the news today.

Answer 10

What a dangerous question is all I thought when I read it

In answer I doubt that they would do any less than kick and scream that it wasn't them that did whatever

But the concept of it happening is so impossible it is hard to tell what would or would not happen under such a hypothetical situation

Answer 11

I doubt that anyone can honestly know how anybody would act in this situation - but I have to credit you with using the words "Saddam" and "dignified" in the same sentence.
