What, are the Sunnis looking to get a "do over"?
as predicted here by several of us, when the video first broke.
Maliki is an idiot, a jerk. He couldn't even pull off a simple execution - professionally run and disciplined.
To get even, I propose the Sunnis should be allowed to hang Moqtada al-Sadr and taunt him with monkey sounds and "Saddam, Saddam, Saddam" chants. That will be helluva fun.
"Angry Sunnis March"
Yawn. These people march over literally EVERYTHING. It got really old a very long time ago.
no argument from me with that idea.
Yeah, and now I'm gonna march because they marched. I'm marching to march. Give me some marching orders. :-)
Are you German? :P
:-)
There's no doubt they've marched because 'Sadaam had escaped the hangman' if this vidio hadn't turned up.
Just heard Mark Ginsberg (sp?) on Fox News a little while ago. He was saying that one of the most powerful forces in the Muslim world is humiliation, and that the video showed Saddam, a Sunni, being humiliated by Shi'ites at the beginning of a Sunni feast. His opinion is that because of this, the execution will backfire on Maliki, and by extension, the U.S.
We'll see...
Yeah, I've got marching orders for you. They've stopped serving green Jell-o in the cafeteria. It's an OUTRAGE, I tell ya!
So, did he describe what form this "backfire" will take?
If anyone will receive backlash, it will be al-Sadr, and he deserves it. He spoiled the fun for the Kurds, embarrassed Maliki and other Shias, and humiliated many Sunnis.
He overplayed his hand this time (once again), and one can hope he will pay the bill for all his mischief and mayhem sooner rather than later.
The lack of green Jell-o IS an outrage. Gather everyone can and we meet at the cafateria at dawn. If a few cars get burned, that's our Constitutional right to express our outrage.

Saddam one the worst mass murderers in history is dead and at the end that is what matters. Do you really believe that the Sunni Arabs and Saddam loyalists will be less angry if one witness or guard did not have fighting words with Saddam before he got hanged? You need to get real and stop being obsessed with superfacial stuff.
No doubt.
Let's see, no riots -- just marches and protests. Sounds like democracy to me.
"Do you really believe that the Sunni Arabs and Saddam loyalists will be less angry if one witness or guard did not have fighting words with Saddam before he got hanged?"
That's a good point. Do you think the execution on Id has any effect at all? I don't think so but you really know that part of the world.
