Hero Worship....Yessiree, Son. I want you to become just like Saddam....DEAD...w/ a death count of millions.

And just as likely not. . (.how can we know from this story?)

Could as easily be these people were watching this; like so many others; so to see for themselves; that this tyrant is gone, in fact. Maybe even to giving their children a lesson of evil. . .

WhatEVER the case here; these children got the wrong message, for sure.

But any lol's here, do seem out of place; and appear more than a bit judgmental and hate(full) as well.

Pity it wasn't Mookie al-Sadr.

[Thombo2]

Good point and good analogy.

Maybe even to giving their children a lesson of evil. .

. . .ahhhh. . .that is supposed to be a 'lesson ON evil'. . .

OMG....no...can't...help...it...HAHAHAHAAA....there,cereal all over the keyboard....thanxxxx.

"The father of the deceased boy said that his children had been watching the video of Saddam Hussein's execution on television"

Who could've imagined such a tragic end to some good, clean family fun. < /sarcasm >

Do these Islamic scum have any redeeming qualities whatsoever?

This supports what I have been saying for years - there should be no rope in a house. Rope kills people. The second amendment be damned - remove all rope now. Thousands die each year because there is rope around - its just senseless - it doesn't need to happen.

Why would parents have their young kids watch a hanging???

Because they are Moose Limbs. They probably gave him the rope. Too bad they lost their opportunity to use him for a bomb.

Don't try this at home kids !

The kids have were watching "Captain Hangaroo", when all hell broke loose...

[tcostell]

I take it that when they say "imitating Saddam" they don't mean that he was taking over a country by force, attacking his neighbors, gassing his own people, and killing hundreds of thousands for no reason other than the glorification of his own ego?

Didn't think so.

[ustanker]

Wonder if it would work on "Fat'Teddy?

Sometimes kids do stupid things, and hurt themselves, and that is sad. Sometimes adults revel in it; that's really sad. One is a case of stupidity from a not-yet mature mind; the other is a case of stupidity from a chronically immature mind.

You could maybe throw out a 'nits grow into lice' comment to round it out.

One thing I've noticed about all of these analogies.

Truth.

[Prodigal Son]

Wouldn't it be much more effective to just kill all their children then? The adults will grow old and die in time. Without children, no new adults. Just kill the kids. Problem solves itself, no?

[ExGeeEye]

There will come a time, in the not-too-distant future, when each of us will have to choose sides and grimly set about doing what must be done. Should such a task fall to me, God grant me the determination to see it through rather than go all squishy about how cute they would look in matching sailor suits.

dehumanize!!!!...hell they are doing that with be-headings, and their rejoicing in blood letting...the witnesses to Saddam's excution convinced me that the Muslims are 500 years behind western culture...not the hanging, but their mindless taunting of him seconds before his demise....just plain animals....it will take a 1000 years of interbreeding to get rid of the Muslim genes....

"the witnesses to Saddam's excution convinced me that the Muslims are 500 years behind western culture...not the hanging, but their mindless taunting of him seconds before his demise....just plain animals...."

Taunting a convicted murderer before executing him is a little distasteful. But then we have posters in this thread celebrating the accidental death of a nine year old child. Don't be too quick to pronounce the superiority of 'western culture'.

[Raycpa]

The Superman TV show had a similar effect.

[Chewie84]

Idiots.

It seems popular lately to emulate what you hate.
