I’m still wondering...did they have any Saddam-piñata parties to celebrate the anniversary?

[Just A Nobody]

I wonder if there is a big party scheduled to celebrate that we will not hear about.

[onedoug]

They gave this bastard a tomb?

[doug from upland]

Some of us celebrated in song - http://youtube.com/watch?v=ni-Ldr7T0E4

Gotta keep up with the Arafat’s ya’ know.....

[DogByte6RER]

Hey...

We could start a new tradition with a pre-New Year’s Eve festivity by having an annual Saddam Necktie Party!

Who knows? If this is trendy enough this new Saddam Necktie Holiday might even displace Kwanzaa. lol

Can we dig him up and give him a good kick in the butt? I see no better way to “celebrate” this POS’ “anniversary”.

As long as Saddam's body remains in that grave, we will try to destroy it," vowed Mohammed Sagaban, an al-Owja resident.

Hmmm. The phrase "get a life" comes to mind.

[G8 Diplomat]

LOL! How ‘bout every December 30 we start a thread on FR for celebrating the death of Saddam Hussein.

I’m going to celebrate by playing gin rummy with my pack of Iraqi Most Wanted playing cards. I can’t believe Baghdad Bob didn’t make the deck, though.

Someone needs to make an Iranian Most Wanted deck....

[I see my hands]

What care I for the purest white rose placed in my cold stiff hand?

Really, the best way to celabrate his death is to do exactly what we are doning now... forgetting it, he is not that important!

I enjoy re-living it over & over & over again.

[newzjunkey]

Better than he be forgotten than memorialized for his execution.

[newzjunkey]

Tacky.

His greatness was largely in his mind!!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Given the security situation in Iraq, any large gathering of people identified with one faction would make a very inviting target.
