tutonic non sense of humour.

**stroller** · 30-12-2006, 11:56 AM

I thought that was a joke.

But not everyone knows about the appeal, just trying to keep this thread a wee bit serious.

President Bush was notified about the execution in a telephone call late Friday to his Texas ranch. He said that the former Iraqi dictator “was executed after receiving a fair trial — the kind of justice he denied the victims of his brutal regime.”

how many of saddam's lawyers were killed during the trial?

how many judges were replaced?

most reports indicate that saddam was a scumbag, but this type of 'justice' is counter-productive.

Agreed, he deserved the Ceausescu treatment.

Did the other ones say he was Mother Theresa?

**ChiangMai noon** · 30-12-2006, 12:32 PM

What do you think will be the ramifications on the streets of Baghdad?
I'll bet the freedom fighters are getting ready for some fireworks.
Wouldn't like to be an invading American puppet right now.

**raycarey** · 30-12-2006, 12:36 PM

^^well in the eighties he was a good enough guy for the US to supply him with WMD.

it could easily be argued that he was no worse than any other dictator, and that his iron grip on the country kept civil war from breaking out.

however, as i posted, most reports indicate he was a scumbag.

The trial was a farce and so is the secret execution

Reminds me of the Romanian execution in the early 90s

He won, we lost

He has become a martyr while he shoud have rot in jail instead

It's ironic that we try to hold up our own justice system as a model for the world (with endlesss appeals to ensure a fair trial took place), yet, applaud when a foreign justice system delivers one's head on a plate within 30 days of conviction. In the following breath we condemn the very same justice system when others are quickly punished.

A bit ironic, no?

One could come up a with a few other adjectives but I guess ironic could be called a bit ironic in it's own right here...
I doubt there will be an escalation of reprisals or terrorist activity because of this. Ironic is a good way simplify what I've been trying to formulate in my mind.
One can only hope those that helped him gain power, supported him then ousted him will receive the same swift justice for their own criminal activities...

Check youtube. Can't vouch for authenticity though.

A few more yank heads slowly sawn off on video, maybe?

People would pay money to watch in open-air theatres and cheer!

Free packet of crisps for families of 4 or more.

You Seem To Forget That There Are More Than Just yank's in Iraq Stroller !!!

Judging From The Party In The Streets, I Imagine That Few If Any Repercussions From Saddam's Hanging Will Actually Come From Iraqis Themselves !!

Maybe Some Bullshit From Extremist's Of Other Nationality But They Will Just Be Trying To Take Advantage Of The Moment And Stir Things Up !!
