Saddam Hussein: Death by Hanging.

[Dead Sexy Vocab]

Anyone, please note to me if there's already a thread like this.

Well, he's dead.

WUTCHU SAY WUTCHU SAY WUTCHU SAY?

It's justifiable to me.

[Vic_Rattlehead]

Think its first on this forum. Most chaps here are from North America and most likely in bed now eh? Naughty naughty DeadSexyVocab.

On topic-
Crazy how he kept calm even when the noose was going around his neck. I would've just screamed like a big girl!

It wasn't worth the trillion-plus dollars spent and the thousands of lives lost.

[Vic_Rattlehead]

It wasn't worth the trillion-plus dollars spent and the thousands of lives lost.

Indeed..There was so much sectarian backlash after he was taken from his presidency, one can only assume (or at least think) that his execution could make way for a whole new world of hurt for the Iraqi people. Just hours after his death, there was another car bomb explosion in Kufa killing at least 30 innocent people.

Of course these terrorist bombs have been going off for a good while, even before Saddam's capture, but could this lead way for even more?

[shimanotaka]

I guess you reap what you sow. I'm not saying it was right to hang him though. He paid for his crimes at the gallows, and now the Iraqi people will pay for hanging him. If he becomes a martyr, this hanging will cause blood to flow many years ahead.

[Karthak]

All the americans have succeded in doing is making a martyr out of him. If they had just put him in a prison to rot away he would eventually have been forgotten, but now the insurrectionists have a perfect martyr: "the heroic leader who remained defiant against the invaders to the end, and died with a prayer to Allah on his lips". Saddam will probably be far more dangerous dead than he ever was alive.

[l337moomoo]

Goodnight sweet prince.

[Roxie]

Saddam will probably be far more dangerous dead than he ever was alive.I doubt that.

[CrazyAce86]

Goodnight sweet prince.

He doesn't deserve a quote by Shakespeare.

I find myself thinking, "Are they so stupid that they don't foresee all hell breaking loose? They just made him a martyr. And they've finally turned this into an all out holy war."

Who knows, maybe that's what they wanted. A catalyst to create a holy war that will give them permission to commit genocide of a people, a religion. Or perhaps they want something to happen just so they can use it as an excuse to keep troops over there.

So the bastard's dead-- what honest difference does it make? Killing him isn't solving the problem, it's making it worse. If they thought the Sunnis and their allies fought hard when he was alive...

I don't know. These are just internal pissed off ramblings of a slightly unhinged mind.

He's dead. And it will take generations of historians, scholars, and kids in history class to decide if that's good or bad. If they ever do.

[RandomPasserby]

Although I don't like him being killed, there aren't much worse people than he was.

Funnily enough though, if 150 people killed "legally" (according to his defense, he didn't break the iraq law back then) is enough to get hanged, quite few western leaders would be hanged if they got same judges and trials.

[mawande]

I also do not agree with the hanging. What happened to him was really about 9/11 and finding some way to show Americans a definite bad guy was killed, since they cannot find absolute proof that the other fiend is dead.

*sigh*

[Roxie]

Wow, I really disagree with that.
In all the articles I've been reading no one has attempted to connect his excution to 9/11 at all. In fact, most people are really kind of shocked at how fast this happend. Just last week it was supposed to be 30 days.

Anyway, everyone knows he was one very evil person who had other wicked deeds (like murdering his own people) without having to mention 9/11 (to which he had no connection).

[Decade]

I dunno why, but I just felt sad seeing these pictures. Don't get me wrong, I have to agree with the ruling and this was a horrible, HORRIBLE man who deserved a death sentence. I dunno, maybe I'm just to soft on these things.

Regardless, I truly believe this world will be a better place without this horrible man in it.

[shimanotaka]

It was after 9/11 that the US started claiming that Saddam was one of the biggest threats against the nation and finally invaded Iraq and captured him. Remember the WMD claims? That he was one of the biggest terorrists and supported Al Qaeda? If it wasn't for 9/11 he would probably still be sitting in one of his palaces, watching John Wayne movies and sipping on a non-alcoholic Pina Colada...

His execution wasn't really connected to 9/11, but only one mass killing of 148 shi'ites in 1982. Then again there were still supposed to be at least two more trials against him that won't happen because he is no more.

[Vic_Rattlehead]

I do agree with the execution, but truth be told..Saddam was a scapegoat.

In fact, most people are really kind of shocked at how fast this happend. Just last week it was supposed to be 30 days.


Shocked? I thought it was obvious to avoid an execution of a high profile Muslim (especially when one carries his ownQur'an to court AND to the gallows) in the middle of Eid, but rather get the job done beforehand.

In one respect, the anti-saddam Muslims currently residing in the middle east can see it as a celebrating entrance to their religious holiday, where pissed off muslims would most likely be even more pissed off that their fellow 'idealist' (if you will) has just been executed in the middle of their religious celebration. Mind you, Lybia* has postponed their Eid celebrations I believe anyway.

* I don;t suggest in anyway way that Lybia as a nation are all approvers of Saddam's regime.

right, i'm talking about his excution...and I think one mass killing is all it takes. I do wish they had done the other trials though.

For those not familiar with all Islamic holy days, it wasn't obvious.

[Vic_Rattlehead]

I thought you were referring to articles you've read. If articles submitted by journalists which contained the idea that they were shocked, then the journalists probably have their head stuck in their bum bum! :D

But if you were just refering to your average Joe, then I guess you're alright! :P

[Mechs]

:clap: Finally. Let his butt rot in hell.

I just wish I can dance on his grave :D.

EDIT: If he gets a grave.

[Riinuka]

I find it interesting that many of my friends think it was a U.S. military court that sentenced him to death. Wasn't it, in fact, an Iraqi court?

[RandomPasserby]

I think it was a very special Iraqi court just for Saddam and his comrades. Was a normal court at least.

You remind me of those videos of people cheering after 9/11. That's really sad.

[Digital Masta]

Saddam was used as a way for American's to forget about Bin Laden and focus on something else. Basically the government went "Well we can't seem to find him...WELL HOW ABOUT SADDAM!"

I felt the same way, I guess we are humans afterall.
It is because of his wicked ways, that I don't believe a punishment akin to the rope would compensate for the hundreds of people killed. I think being made to suffer in a prison would be far worse, and a more suitable punishment for a maniacal dictator.

Anyways, whats done is done and if there is a hell, hes probably getting boned by satan.

Wasn't Tony Blair involved in a few shady wars in Middle East in which close to a million people have died? And doesn't UK have large amounts of golf fields, coal and oil?

I couldn't give a shit. I'm Irish. :D

But you're still right regardless. Most of the problems in the middle east were started by UK anyway, what with the British Petroleum company and whatnot. As of recent though, I don't think 'nearly a million' have died by the hands of the British under Blair's rule.

[Roxie]

* I don;t suggest in anyway way that Lybia as a nation are all approvers of Saddam's regime.
You don't have to. I think they've spelled it plain


The government of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi announced a three-day official mourning period following Saddam Hussein's execution and canceled all celebrations of the Islamic Eid al-Adha feast. In an official statement, the government ordered all its branches to lower the national flag to half mast. "All celebrations all around the country should also be canceled," the statement said.

[Vic_Rattlehead]

You don't have to. I think they've spelled it plain


Fair does. :) I think the over anal political correctness which exists in the UK always gets the best of me. :(

[Kaji]

As to the swiftness of the execution, I think the reason for it was to make sure it happened at all. Under Iraqi law a man over 70 cannot be executed, and he would have been 70 in April. Furthermore, it is also illegal to execute someone on a Muslim holy day. Hence, this was probably the best window in the 30-day period.

[shimanotaka]

Who next? Kim Jong Il? Bin? Ahmadinejad? Tune in next time for another exciting episode of.....

Well, it won't be Kim Jong Il at least, because he is actually dangerous. Saddam was an easy target because he was already broken from the Kuwait war. They would have rubbed out Bin Laden already if they could just find him. It will probably be Ahmadinejad, but not until the coalition has been able to pull out of Iraq and regroup.

[Toofy]

This forum fails, this sounds exactly like FOX news.

I can't really say that I'm happy that Saddam has been executed, but I'm sure it'll help some people sleep better at night. I know one thing for sure, all this shit scares me.

Ahmadinejad has also a nasty army and an ability to bombard USA's allies. NK's nukes aren't probably even ready to be used in a war.

Nope, won't happen. If you look at the region's history, the people that live there have been killing each other long before even Islam came over.

The policy of the previous masters (UK, France, Ottoman empire) was to install a dictator (or some sort of oppressive government) that would use force in order to ensure stability. But there was never any real stability (people simply bid their time until they had a chance to come out and start fighting again.)

The thing that the US is trying to do is to stop this nonsense that they continue to pull and try to establish an actual peaceful and stable democratic nation. But with a history of bloodshed like that, this sort of thing won't happen in a few years.
Of course these terrorist bombs have been going off for a good while, even before Saddam's capture, but could this lead way for even more?
If I were to guess, I'd say that it would stay the same.

Ahmy won't be the one. There are many groups that are currently working against him in Iran. That and the final decision rests with the clerics, who probably don't want to risk all out war (and probably know damn well that if they try to nuke Israel, they'll essentially give the Israelis a blank check to nuke just about any muslim city within its range.)

Kim, umm... well, lets just say that if he tries something, Pyongyang will turn into a self-lighting parking-lot in a second. And as for him being 'dangerous', that's not the real problem. He's not dangerous. His army is made up of half-starved conscripts that often lack an AK. He is a terrorist though (the countless of acts of terror speak for themselves, against SK during their olympics, SK diplomats at a shrine, trying to assasinate SK's president at one point, etc.) He has alot of long-range artillery shells aimed at Seoul at this very moment, attacking them will bring about millions dead. That and there is China, who only see the dear leader as a buffer against a possibility of having SK and US troops on one of its borders (remember, Beijing would like nothing more than to have Kimmy shut the fuck up, they actually began working with Abe as a result of NK's weapons testing.) I don't see North Korea as being capable of standing up to the US military, they'll probably fold just as easily as Iraq's army. The one problem is that millions of south koreans would die if we attack, that's the problem.

No, not really. Saddam is dead and few if any liked him (even in his own ethnic group.) That and they know full well that the Sunnis are outnumbered by the Shia (who are not at all pleased by how they were treated), starting a religious war with the Shia would be suicidal.

As for genocide, well, I think I'll let the region's history speak for itself. They have been killing one another for centuries, before Saddam was even born.

And the Sunnis didn't fight anywhere near as hard as you'd think when he was alive (when Saddam's regime fell that is.) The Sunnis know best that the odds are against them (Kurds to the North, Shia to the South and Iran to the East), if anything they'll try to be as diplomatic as possible.

[The_Penguin]

Let me guess, you're willing to draw parallels between western nations who have tried and convicted hard criminals for heinous acts to that of a dictator who decided that it was 'legit' to kill hundreds of thousands of people just because they stood in his way?

[The_Penguin]

I find it interesting that many of my friends think it was a U.S. military court that sentenced him to death. Wasn't it, in fact, an Iraqi court?
The US military held him. The court was run by Iraqis. There were advisors sent by the US instructing Iraqis on how to conduct a proper trial (the type that would be seen in a western democratic country.) However, once the trial began, the whole operation was run by the Iraqis and we just sat and watched.

[The_Penguin]

He's dead. And it will take generations of historians, scholars, and kids in history class to decide if that's good or bad. If they ever do.
I have a clue as to what the Iraqis have gone through during Saddam's reign of terror (I was born in western Ukraine, ya) and I can't think of a better outcome than to have this bastard executed.

[Hatsumomo]

Normally when it comes to killers being put to death, I'm the first to say, "Fry 'em up!"

But with Saddam, I had reservations and I'm not sure why. He wasn't a good person, he was a terrible dictator and killed a lot of people, but his execution felt wrong somehow.

[Jetsetlemming]

Probably because of the controversy and uncertainty regarding the events that led up to his trial and execution, namely the American invasion. He was a bad man and got what he deserved, and the Iraqi people needed to be free, and the goals of the war were a good thing, but... there's still that built in doubt. We've all been hearing nothing but bad news and condemnation and insults about the war and the current government from day one. There's few if any of us left not doubting the whole thing at this point.
The Penguin, you know, it's POSSIBLE to make one single post. Just to let you know.

[Toofy]

The legitimate leader of what is supposed to be a sovereign state has been condemned to a criminal's death by hanging and the response of the world is totally out of proportion to the event. Instead of an international outcry of outrage, there is nothing much in the way of condemnation of this illegitimate attempt to finish off one of the last symbols of Iraq's independence. This should not be a surprise, however, as the entire chain of events that led to this point has been the product of international intimidation and bullying on the part of the U.S. and its Zionist ally.

Saddam Hussein remains the President of Iraq. Foreign invasion and occupation of Iraq cannot change that fact. In fact, it is the President of the United States and his underling Tony Blair who should be tried and convicted of war crimes. The sequence of events that led to Saddam's Hussein's conviction at the hands of a kangaroo court will become one of the more shameful chapters in World History.

Iraq was a progressive and successful country when the U.N., goaded by the U.S., imposed economic sanctions on it over a decade ago. To describe the sanctions as crippling would not be an overstatement. Iraq struggled for thirteen years to maintain its existence beneath the burden of those inhumane sanctions. Its President, Saddam Hussein, in the face of overwhelming international pressure, refused to compromise his political position with respect to the illegitimate Zionist Occupation of Palestine, as well as maintaining unwavering support for the Palestinian people.

This is one of the real reasons he has been sentenced to death. It has nothing to do with the Shi'a or the Kurds. It is because he dared to challenge U.S. foreign policy and to condemn its Zionist ally and to remain steadfast in that position through a decade of bullying, blackmail and collective punishment by foreign powers.

Collective punishment is prohibited by International Law and yet the people of Iraq were subjected to collective punishment for more than a decade by the U.N. The economic sanctions against Iraq affected every Iraqi. In fact, Madeleine Albright's notorious declaration that the death of over half a million Iraqi babies was a price worth paying made it clear that the U.S. recognised the enforcement of these sanctions to be tantamount to genocide. When the Iraqi people continued to support their President and to remain steadfast under this inhumane and illegal policy, the U.S. decided that it had to invade Iraq openly. The entire world now knows the truth about the spurious allegations of 'weapons of mass destruction' that was the ostensible reason for the invasion. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. All weapons of that nature were being stockpiled by the Zionists, manufactured and paid for by the United States.

The only mistake that Saddam Hussein made was when he surrendered what weapons Iraq did possess to the U.N. In the effort to spare his country the additional hardship and destruction of a war, he acceded to the demands of the U.N. and relinquished the weapons that he had in lieu of the 'weapons of mass destruction' that did not exist.

The U.S. then proceeded to invade Iraq, declaring that the country would welcome its armed forces with open arms and be grateful for the defeat of its leader. We all know the tortuous and disgraceful course of that ongoing war. Rather than accepting the U.S. definition of its military as 'liberators', the Iraqi people denounced the U.S. and refused to see it as anything but a foreign invader. Rather than surrendering to the overwhelming foreign military force, the people of Iraq have fought the invaders at every turn. Rather than surrendering its President to the Americans, the people of Iraq kept him safe for a year under the repressive foreign Occupation of the U.S. and its allies.

The Iraqi Resistance against a puppet government set in place by the foreign occupiers remains fierce and committed. The shameful travesty of the trial of Iraq's President, Saddam Hussein, has not diminished his standing among true patriots. In fact, so terrified were the 'powers that be' of the possible outcome even of this ridiculous charade that they felt compelled to assassinate lawyers who acted in his defence. These supposed 'legal proceedings' never would bear scrutiny by any legitimate legal standards.

Why is international outcry against this war crime not greater? It is because the U.S. has demonstrated its ability to act swiftly and unconditionally against any one who demonstrates any resistance to American/Zionist foreign policies. The U.S., despite the fact that its forces are stretched thin between a losing war in Afghanistan and one in Iraq has stated very clearly that it is happy to extend its military machine into Syria and Iran if a convenient excuse presents itself. North Korea, the other member of the so-called 'axis of evil' defined by Bush, must be handled with kid gloves in this respect, only because it has been rather overt in displaying its nuclear arsenal, a necessary act of self-defence, apparently, for any Nation that dares to oppose U.S. hegemony.

The fact that the U.S. and its allies will be defeated ultimately in Afghanistan and in Iraq as well as any other theatre of Occupation they open in the future does not make it less critical that we denounce the so-called 'war on terror' at every turn. Saddam Hussein is in danger of becoming one more victim of this spurious war. Whether as private individuals, members of any organisation or even as rulers of sovereign nations, the so-called 'war on terror' threatens the freedom of each and every one of us. It is a weapon designed to silence significant opposition of any kind, and it is a propaganda tool that has subverted both law and reality in order to attempt to portray heroes as villains and villains as heroes.

Robbed of power and his liberty, Saddam Hussein nonetheless has maintained his dignity along with his legitimacy throughout his illegal detention. Attempts to demean him or to force him into submission have failed utterly. He remains a strong leader, even behind prison bars.

The voice of Saddam Hussein is the voice of the Arab Nation. In condemning him to death by hanging, the very existence of the Arab Nation has been condemned. In medieval times, the government would execute political enemies and then display their bodies in prominent positions at the gates of the city as a warning to others. Saddam Hussein's conviction is designed to serve the same purpose, a declaration to others who oppose American and Zionist policies. 'Such is the fate of all who oppose us' is the message to heads of state throughout the world.

We must counter this message with our own message of unequivocal support of the Arab Nation and those who symbolise it. Silence can be misinterpreted. A strong message of support is a slap to the face of the enemy and a declaration to the effect that the Arab Nation cannot be crushed or bulldozed into oblivion. Especially in view of so-called 'anti-terrorism' legislation purporting to criminalise opposition to 'American interests' or Zionist interests, we must make our protest one that echoes throughout the world.

Even if public outcry and whatever 'legal' action is allowed by the puppet government does not reverse this 'conviction', the death of Saddam Hussein will not serve the U.S. and Zionists ultimately. By executing a symbol of steadfastness and independence, they cannot hope to extinguish the resistance itself.

In fact, the death of Saddam Hussein may prove to be the flame that ignites people throughout the world to resistance to the American/Zionist threat to freedom everywhere. If the puppet government sponsored by the U.S. and its allies manage to hang him, they ultimately only tighten the noose round their own necks.

We call upon every Head of State as well as every private individual throughout the world to condemn unequivocally this mockery of justice and to protest against the impending murder of the President of the Arab Nation in Iraq. It is the equivalent of a mob lynching, clothed in legal trappings. Condemn the true war criminals, the so-called Heads of State of the U.S., Great Britain, and all who have allied themselves against the people of the Arab Nation. Condemn the foreign Occupation of Iraq and Palestine instead of pursuing phantom threats of 'nuclear capacity' against legitimate nations. If you have any interest in real peace and justice, you must act against the Zionist entity with its huge arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and support the legitimate aspirations of those who seek to end the foreign Occupation of their lands.

Any one who truly believes in freedom and justice must support Saddam Hussein as a legitimate leader whose life is being threatened by forces that consistently have lied about their motivations and goals and who, rather than 'liberating' the people of Iraq, have brought it to ruin. God help any one who receives his/her 'freedom' at the hands of the U.S. and its allies! God help any one who is honest enough to denounce the Zionists!

Denounce this outrageous war crime against the legitimate leader of an Arab country!

He claims that the reason that there isn't a political backlash from Iraq by the world towards America is because the world's countries are afraid of us!
