Saddam's Execution
CNN says he's going to be hung in under an hour.
Good riddance. What are your thoughts?

Re: Saddam's Execution
My dad just said that it's all going down at 10PM EST... not 8.
{ 6am over there } Either way. He might just get to see his final sunrise.

Re: Saddam's Execution
Okay... enough of the non-intellectual posts now...
Anyways, it's probably good that Saddam Hussein is being executed, but they still have Osama Bin Laden to catch. And, although very, VERY unlikely, the terrorist attack of 9/11 may have been caused by a different social group, or maybe devised by Osama Bin Laden himself, not Saddam Hussein. The terrorist attack could've been devised by anyone. ...but its better to be safe, than sorry. |

Re: Saddam's Execution
I want them to catch Bin Laden as well.
Whether 9/11 was his doing or not. But Saddam did murder innocent women and children.

Re: Saddam's Execution
Yeah, let's just go over to the middle east and kill everyone because they all might have been behind 9/11.
... I don't see why people are so happy about him being executed. What has he done that you have ever seen first hand? He could be a made up person and you'd never even know, so why care about it? Yeah, sure, I'm sure that he really is a real person and that he really did terrible things, but I just don't see how people can care when it doesn't affect them. I mean, I guess you could have a relative or friend in Iraq, but the US invaded Iraq, not the other way around. We instigated the fight. I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Don't be so easily swayed. Support his execution, sure, that's fine, but be happy about it? That's just silly. And for you guys talking about Osama: We'll never find him. Honestly, as this Iraq war thing was first started all I could think was "wait, you're not even done taking care of those responsible for 9/11 and now you're making up bull**** about Iraq being behind it?! What the hell?" If we were going to find him, I'm sure we would have by now. He's probably already dead or in hiding where he'll never be found.

Re: Saddam's Execution
I don't support his execution. I don't like him and he's done horrible things, but killing him is just going to makes his followers even more pissed at the US. We can't just hang him and make an example of him, there's no point to that and all we're doing is teasing the enemy. Then again I don't know what we should really do.

Uhh, no. From what I understand, Osama was definitely behind the attacks and the U.S. (well, George Bush) used the excuse of thinking Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction to begin the whole Iraq invasion. Saddam and the 9/11 attacks don't have a connection, which is why this whole "War on Terror" thing doesn't make much sense. |

Re: Saddam's Execution
I thought we weren't going to know about this until after it happened?
I don't think most people understand that killing Osama will do absolutely nothing. He has no real power right now, it won't make terrorism go away. We aren't killing Saddam either. He was tried in a foreign court on counts of Mass Murder(and Genocide later, even after he is dead) and is following according law. Why waste resources searching for Osama when we need to direct all of our logistic thinking towards the current situation in Iraq. |

I thought this was going to go down in the spring, but I guess not.

Re: Saddam's Execution
the thing i think is kinda funny in a way is...osama needs to walk around with oxygen tanks to stay alive, and yet he is still one of the most wanted men by the U.S..and we still cant find him...for all we know he is already dead and we are searching for nothing.

Anyways, I rest my case; I don't support Saddam's execution, although we should be safe than sorry, and I'm not too happy about it; more life-threatening situations from Saddam's death could possibly happen. |

Re: Saddam's Execution
you can't make arguments like "what could've happened if 9/11 never happened"
the fact is, it did happen. Now, killing Saddam Hussein WILL have ramifications in the current situation in Iraq. I doubt they will be good ones. Hussein had no power at all after his capture. Killing him just makes a big racket where none was necessary. It draws attention away from the real problem. If anything, the war in Iraq could intensify because of this. Right now, I have mixed feelings about the Saddam hanging. Sure, he had it coming, but it really had no positive political meaning. Only bad things can come of it. There's no group that really despises Hussein that much that they will rejoice and help the US in the war. There are however, groups that supported Saddam who will be infuriated. Saddam deserved it, but politically I'm not so sure about the decision.
