Iraqi Premier Says Saddam Execution "without Delay"
And commentary from the Locals....

In his Friday sermon, a mosque preacher in the Shiite holy city of Najaf called Saddam's execution "God's gift to Iraqis."
"Oh, God, you know what Saddam has done! He killed millions of Iraqis in prisons, in wars with neighboring countries and he is responsible for mass graves. Oh God, we ask you to take revenge on Saddam," said Sheik Sadralddin al-Qubanji, a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, known as SCIRI, the dominant party in al-Maliki's coalition.
I try to pay close attention, but I think this is the FIRST time I've heard any muslim leader speak in favor of the justice that is about to be carried out.
Perhaps after Saddam becomes a swinger, more will finally feel safe to speak up.
Are any anti capital punishment Liberals planning on any candlelight vigils?
He's probably objecting in the tiniest whisper he can muster, and going around grinning.
"Your Holiness, we have to beg for pardon!"
"La-la-la-la, Ve can't hear you...."
"Your Holiness, please take your fingers out of your ears!"
"La-la-la-la, vhat? Did you say something? Oh, Saddam? Oh, Ve sent them a very angry note, that should be enough!"
The religious clerics are every bit as evil as Saddam, and they want to condemn him to "hell"? Saddam was trying to rule a bunch of savages. Man, that is rough! It seems like the USA can not rule the savages either.
Hey guys,
These are some good documentaries. It explains why we think that some of our ideas are connected to free thinking. It's all bull, I mean, all of it. In fact, I'll even contend that we have inherited about 4000 years of ideological bull. It has been adapted to our way of living (east, west, etc.). The problem with most of these ideologies are, they don't ever seem to address the human condition sincerely. Egoism and vanity seems to be the driving force behind many of the best or more powerful philosophies. Most of our arguments are in vain (political, religous, etc.) because we can't even remember the original or truthful foundation for them. History only reflects the ideas of the individuals or systems that hold power.
Nevertheless, enough of my bull#@^^% attempt to share a thought I was having. These are the documentaries:

You guys seem extremely intelligent, so, this stuff might not do anything for you.
Y'all noticed this thread?

It'll be a sharing arrangement, like with divorced parents and their kids. Judaeo-Christian Hell can have him one week, Islamic Hell can have him the next, and so on.
The abuse of teenage boys be Catholic priests is a crime.
Also, Benedict XVI isn't John Paul II.
I'm against the Death Penalty for "ordinary" crime. Genocide, treason, espionage, and other threats to an entire people or country...now that's different.
When did the death penalty become contrary to Catholic church teaching, as the article states?
This would be a major alteration of Church teaching. I am not the most sterling of Catholics but if this change happened I am more bad than I thought.
