I am not a fan of Saddam, but i still am tottally AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY. I was going to see the video (it must be all over YouTube), but why should I? I think the execution was HORRIBLE. The tauting made it even worse. The people who took pictures, and videos, and called him names, and shut the trap door on him when he was praying to his Allah, that is just disrespectful. The NPR coverage of the Execution was really good (I listened for hours ) "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"

NO! they did him justice 4 wat he did 2 ppl! Yeah, I agree, but still it isn't right. He has the right to atleast finish his prayer before they hanged him. I think that was just horrid disrespect, no matter what excuse. Hehe, yeah well put

NO! they did him justice 4 wat he did 2 ppl!! "b treated as u treat ppl!" Yes, one person told him to 'go to hell', while he is dying. I'm no fan of Saddam, and I condemn his crimes. But he is human too. Also, the fact that they released a full cellphone video is just disgusting. I wouldn't want people photographing my death and cheering about it. One person, shouted the name of a Shiite Millita leader in Iraq, giving the impression to Sunnis in Iraq that this was a revenge killing. So they would not consider this as 'justice'. Be careful, when you question someone's religon or closeness to god. For how do we know, how he practices his religon or how feels about god, unless you've met the guy. So can we say he is close or not close to god? No, better to not say anything at all. He said something about 'Allah'. Yes, every Muslim must say "La ilaha illallah. Muhammad-ur Rasulallah." "There is no God but God; there is nothing but God. And Muhammad is His Messenger." while they are in their death bed.

that shiite muslim leader was sum1 who Saddam took and no one ever knew anything about him, he was truly a gr8 man but Saddam took him and God knows wat Saddam did to him! so regardless if that muslim leader was a shia or sunna! it doesn't mean anything else, its only to remind Saddam that we will never forget wat he did to that leader!!!

As far as I'm concened, that Shiite Millita Leader (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqtada_Al_Sadr) is still alive. His father : Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr, was exiled and killed by Saddam, but they did not say the name of his father. Why say his name during a death sentence? It will just cause more secetarian divide in Iraq.

This image of Saddam's death shows us how we are not fair in this world.I think that it's an unfair justice.We don't have to promote private justice but objective justice which is fair.

The way Saddam was treated before his execution is very pathetic and cruel.Calling him names, asking him to go to hell, not letting him finish his prayers, mocking him constantly....and worst of all, making a video of his death, posing along with his dead body - just ridiculous!Certainly, not way the way to treat anyone. I agree Saddam had committed crimes against humanity, but this is no way to treat a human, that too, in his last moments of life.I'm quite disturbed by this.No further comments.

The circumstances of the hanging of Saddam Hussein have turned the former Iraqi leader into a martyr, Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak has said.
Mr Mubarak said the unofficial pictures that emerged of the event were revolting and barbaric.
The chaotic scenes at the execution, during which Saddam was taunted, have been condemned across the world.

****************
Jan 5, 2007 — CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has said pictures of the execution of Saddam Hussein were "revolting and barbaric" and that experts considered his trial under occupation illegal.
In his first comments on the execution, which took place on the first day of Eid al-Adha, the Muslim Feast of the Sacrifice, last Saturday, Mubarak told the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth the timing was "unreasonable."
In the interview, he said he had written to President Bush asking him to postpone the execution, arguing that it would not be helpful at that time. He did not say how Bush responded.
"Then the pictures of the execution were revolting and barbaric, and I am not discussing here whether he deserved it or not. As for the trial, all experts in international law said it was an illegal trial because it was under occupation.
"Also, there was a conspiracy to carry out the execution before the end of the year," he added.

It would be better if they mind their own business.For God's sake, please live and let others live! Anu, this is one of your best posts Anu! Your whole post was great, but this quote was the best. 2 karmas for you ;D To diomday - Thank you very much for your comments and the 2 karmas! But I suppose someone else didn't like my post, hence it got edited or to put it clearly, got removed.I just have one thing to say, that whatever I wrote in that post was the truth and removing the post or modifying or editing it, won't change the truth.Its not just me who thinks like that, most of the world thinks on the same lines when it comes to Bush and his policies.Here in India, the media and the public has reacted very strongly against Saddam's death sentence.Every day, there are protest marches, violence and even self-immolation bids to protest Saddam's death.You'll be surprised to know that a 15 year old girl in Calcutta committed suicide, after seeing the video of Saddam's execution, since she was disturbed by what happened to Saddam. Saddam was definitely humiliated and insulted before his execution, the media here, has been showing that.Every day there are discussions and debates about the way Saddam was executed and people are unable to understand why America waged a war on Iraq even though no dangerous WMDs were found in Iraq. Basically, now after what happened to Saddam, Indians have become wary and are urging the government not to have closer relations with the US (esp., now that the Indo-US nuke deal has been signed).Just two days ago, some foreign tourists at Agra (the place where Taj Mahal is located), were stoned by a mob of protestors, since they thought they were Americans. Frankly speaking, Saddam has become a martyr after all this.Libya is going to erect Saddam's statue and have already observed 2-3 days of national mourning after Saddam's death. No one is talking much about his crimes.Everyone is talking about the way he was maltreated before his death.He's been raised to the height of a martyr, a hero by the people as well as the media.Bush's purpose seems to have been defeated. There's a lot of public and media outrage against the US here in India, after Saddam's execution.I don't know about other countries at present. By the way, to the person who removed/edited my post -You should have taken away my karmas as well.I'm least bothered.You may have removed my post, but you can't shut the mouths of the media and the public all over the world.The truth will remain the truth, no matter how bitter or hard to digest it is.

Dear Anu, I am deeply sorry about this. I clicked "Modify" instead of "quote". It was my accident, and I am deeply sorry about the whole thing. I tottally agreed with you, it was just my mistake. Your karmas are the same as before, with the 2 karmas (I did not smite your karmas). Well I hope you accept my apology..
