Let us debate this in the public forum with political consequences and we see who the "fool is."

Once widely known there is no way the electorate will accept Israel "settling" more land on the West Bank.

Wait, watch and see.

Executing Saddam was a weakness?

No, CNN staying silent while this was going on (for an office there), is more horrifying than a 'weakness'.

It was justice.

I saw at least two American flags being waved by Dearborn Iraqis.

You're mistaken. There were no anti-American celebrations like that in Dearborn after 9/11.

Fox is the site that has been providing most of the images.....They were also the ones that gave the earliest and most accurate time estimate of the execution.

Arcadia, marshmallow, the 1998 sleepers strike again. They really dislike FR and all the FReepers on it. Funny how these types signed up in 1998...just what was going on then? Whenever I see therse attempts to hijack threads in such a nasty way, I bet myself they are 1998ers and most of the time I am correct.

I think some folks just hate change. FR is always changing, sometimes better than others. You just gotta roll with it.

I saw some Arabs on TV, in Dearborn Michigan, celebrating Saddam's demise, hooting, hollering, and thoroughly enjoyng themselves. It was just terrible. They were not nearly somber and serious enough. But heck, what do they know about it all.

"Before we act so gleeful to the fact that Saddam Hussein has met his just fate, I would recommend that we ponder the fact that here in the United States, we cannot or will not carry out the same justice on serial killers, baby/child rapers and traitors to our own country."

We can and we have. Timothy McVeigh received very swift justice.

This forum is not appropriate for lionizing and celebrating the evil of the Hussein regime.

And I do neither. But I do not see the appointed time for an execution to be whooping it up and jumping for joy either. Justice was served and rightly so. But do mere observers have a right to rejoice, make jokes, etc.? That is reserved for the victims of the criminal. Joviality? Joking? Suggesting a dead pool for the time of his death? Cartoonish characterizations? This was not so far different than the civilians sitting in the stands at the Colosseum cheering the death of a criminal who had not personally affected their lives

No, civilized society may have offered a good riddance and then a time of remembrance for his victims or a time to look within ourselves to see how he came to power and to ensure it did not happen again. But this was...words escape me. I think it does make a very important statement on where our society is. Unfortunately that statement will escape many as well.

Flame away. I have no sorrow for a tyrant's death. However I cannot say the same on the apparent direction we are headed

Equating Saddam Hussein and Matthew Sheppard? Silly.

Odd what? That McVeigh was so swiftly dealt with? Not really. His crimes were played out on TV, and some of his victims mere babies (and he knew that in advance). His crime was unique in the annals of American crime history and so it's clear that the public needed and wanted and deserved swift justice. And it was important that the legal system deliver it. That case is an example of our system working. The OJ case is an example of our system not working.

What are you implying? A nefarious plot of some sort??

I doubt the many Arabs in Iraq, or the US, who are celebrating Saddam's death, have heard of Matthew Shepard.

Pretty much. How does a white supremacist end up best friends with a guy who has a Filipina wife? The Colt .45 was developed because the existing .38s didn't stop the møøselimb Filipino warriors. I'll always wonder if there was some islamic connection.

OTOH, maybe I'm just being silly.

Fox reporting that his last words were as follows:

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

My nomination for best post, lol.
