Y'all feel safer now?

marsh, thanks for your input.

FYI, my safety is in reliance of God, His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

The human being seems to fail us occasionally in life. So I tend not to put all my trust in lower powers.

[Lazamataz]

I'm going outside to kiss the earth.

Earthkisser.

[Lazamataz]

Oh please. I trust you'd post this same silliness if we had captured Hitler alive?

Actions have consequences. Saddam will face his.

I heard on FNC that the gallows and the rope have been constructed specifically to break his neck quickly so that he will NOT linger but die muy pronto. It was the Americans who helped with that, I heard, but the Iraqis wanted it so that they could not be accused of cruel and unusual punishement. Whether all this is true I don't know, but it sounds plausible.

[txrangerette]

"...punishement..."

Because you are Canadian. Canada has become a nation of second guessers and navel gazers. Maybe it is because it absorbed so many of the US's cowards or just because of breathing all of their secondhand pot smoke. :) Where is the legacy of the mounties that always get their man or the Yukon fur traders? Canada has always been USA-lite.

I wonder what his affects would look like after his short drop and quick stop - i.e. a gravity check with new necktie?

Saddam's final cut

A Danish documentary film crew obtained exclusive rights to go behind the scenes and record Saddam Hussein's trial

[veronica]

This man paid Palestinians to kill Jews in Israel. I guess he's about to get his just desserts.

[TexKat]

Earlier, reports were published that gallows for Hussein have been installed in Baghdad. CBS channel even informed that during his way from the camera to the gallows he would be accompanied by a cameraman. It has not been reported who the footage will be used in future.

Doing what's right and doing what's easy are usually different things. The news media is doing all kinds of hand-wringing about the violence that Saddam's execution will bring from "insurgents". Trust me, a huge majority of Iraqis will be partying and dancing when this bastard swings. He should've been whacked 17 years ago during Desert Storm.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

If we listened to these muslim whacks every time they complained or threatened anything, the world would be paralyzed.

Earthkisser.

ROTFLMAO kithing everything in thight

ADDENDUM ADDENDUM

rolling on the floor laughing my earth off!!

I can't speak for you, but we as Americans, Christian and Jew, are taught to value life very deeply. We value "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." That ethos is taught to us at our mother's knee, as it were.

Nevertheless, some people prove they are too evil to be given the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", as they have denied it to so many others, often brutally, with no remorse or regard to the humanity of those they have brutalized.

Such people we must deal with coldly and severely. That's just the way it is.

The rush to hang Saddam

[dighton]

i am thinking that i wish they would just keep him imprisoned for life instead

Think “Stone dead hath no fellow” and “That fellow’s got to swing.”

[sodpoodle]

"Toppling Saddam Hussein did not automatically create a new and better Iraq. Executing him won't either"

These people live in an automated world - time to take away their computers, microwaves, BMWs and send them to Ethiopia, where there are no "automatic" solutions to life's problems.

Give the MSM a dose of Blood, Sweat and Tears instead of prescription drugs, deodorant and eyedrops.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

Contact with the real world is sorely needed.

[mkjessup]

its like a creepy foreboding type of "something really bad is about to happen kind of feeling"

I know exactly what you're talking about.

After they cut down Saddam's body, he will suddenly awaken, eyes wide, with red flaming iris', suddenly in a perfect English voice, he will arise, look into the television cameras, and say 'BEHOLD, I WAS DEAD BUT NOW I LIVE!', and as the gathered witnesses shake and tremble in terror, one reporter steps up and says 'M-m-m-mr H-h-h-husssein? Does this sudden return from death itself, and that red glow in your eyes, does it mean that you are that Biblical figure referred to in some prophecies as the (shudder) ANTICHRIST?!?'

And with a demonic grin on his face, Saddam looks into the cameras, knowing that somewhere, President George W. Bush is watching, and he says:

"No, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night!"

IOW, stop worrying my FRiend, the world is about to rid itself of a genocidal war criminal no different than Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot or Slobbo in the old Yugoslavia.

The silliness, if there is any, is in your comparison of Saddam and Hitler and their respective threats to America.

If Saddam had announced his intention to subjugate the world to the master race and was in the process of invading nearly every country in Europe, your comparison might be a little more apt. As it is, the mullahs and Islamic radicals now call the shots in Iraq and indeed much of the Middle East. It is they, not Saddam who threaten America and Europe.

There's a stark irony in his execution in the month in which America suffers its heaviest casualties. It highlights how irrelevant he is and always was to the whole Islamic terror network.
