My dad just said that it's all going down at 10PM EST... not 8.

Either way.

He might just get to see his final sunrise.

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.

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.

Wait, are you trying to say you think Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks? o_______O

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.

Even if he didn't he still deserves to die. One person on the news said he killed 27 members of there family. Why is this in critical thinking? lol.

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.
