So, you're not interested in the rule of law, as long as someone is killed by the state?

I can see Saddam being chased by General Lee now! Secede!

I may be asking too much, and if so, fine, I'm sorry.

My 17 year old nephew committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in a wooded park at night.

I mentioned this in another forum, and someone quoted my post to state his best friend hung himself in high school. This leads me to speculate that I'm probably not the only person on Pelican who had a loved one hang his or herself.

I respectfully request people just link to these images. If you choose not to, that's fine, I understand, I probably am asking too much here.....but this is just a request.

Yet you have no problem with folks encouraging terrorists to "pour it on" against our soldiers...while many of us have lost friends and family in Iraq?

i've always been taught to be a stylish winner, not to gloat...
sorry guys, but it's in poor taste no matter what
this isn't even Osama Bin Laden, remember, the one who DID attack on US soil, so that makes me wonder how low you would sink if he was caught, would you sink to their level? public execution on Times Square?
go midieval on him? hung drawn and quarterd??while chanting death to the barbarian??

this is not even about wether or not he should have been executed, it's about how you deal with it...

Agreed 100%.

Gloating over killing Saddam because you couldn't get the real culprit (OBL) - is distasteful and childish.

That is your fault, blowback is hell isn't it old boy? If you'll stop spitting into the wind, it'll stop getting all over you.

Disagreed 100%. We are only joining the Iraqi people in celebrating their shrugging off the yoke of oppression and entering an age of judicial evenhandedness. The Iraqis tried and executed Saddam...we did not. But his actions have resulted in the deaths of more Americans than Bin Laden so far...as well as millions of Iranians, millions of Iraqis, thousands of Kuwaitis, and many Israelis....so we are more than happy to see him meet with Arafat in hell.

You guys are quick to gloat when something the US does goes bad....you moral equivalence is amazing.

that's a load of nonsense
the US bodycount related to Sadam isn't even 1/10th of what OBL has on his tab

the Insurgency now, did cause more then 9/11, but those insurgents for the most part aren't Baath party loyalists, they aren't former Republican Guard, they are 3rd party that came to Iraq because the US was there looking for the invisible WMD's...

and regardless of why he got executed, it's still childish to act out like this... to sink to that level, if you can't see that, then fair enough i just tried to give you a hint, up to you if you take it or not...

Well, I for one like to see true successes. The projects our girls and boys are doing on one-to-one with the Iraqis are commendable and worthy of our respect. Since that level is the only one that will truly make a defference in the long run, making friends one individual at a time; providing a positive image of America. However, without an overall strategy at the very top, much of this good is undone at worst and overshadowed at best.

You, fint, will never hear me gloat when something "goes wrong". A true patriot would not act in that manner. A true patriot wants what is best (and actually fights for it, pat) for the country as a whole, not for one party or one philosophy. On the other hand, it is not traitorous to disagree with policy, at least according to the founding fathers.....You have read me wrong so often and I fear will continue to do so.

If not for Saddam attacking Kuwait...and later not abiding by the cease-fire, Americans would have never warred with Iraq...so all Americans killed in both Iraq wars are directly attributable to Saddam's actions...as are British, Italians, etc killed there. As far as WMD. Saddam claimed he had those "invisible WMD" (as did the leaders and the intel agencies of most nations throughout the world)...so again...his fault.
You are plain wrong. Perhaps if the brutal deaths of your friends or family were cause by this man you would see it as many Americans and Iraqis do. Just trying to give you a clue...take it or not.

What are you talking about? Did you post on this somewhere?

If Bush I hasn't supplied the chemical munitions to Iraq, a million and a half Iraqi's and Iranians might not have died either.

Did you help supply those chemicals, fint? Were those your initials I see on the manifest?

I'm sorry for your family's loss, but it sounds like you shouldn't be perusing the "Saddam executed!" thread. You're well aware of what gets posted in OT. I feel no guilt posting images of that genocidal animal's execution (not suicide).

It was just a request. I suspect others also probably feel they're over the top as well (including the others posted), for their own personal reasons outside of mine.

No, it was not suicide, but the images are the same as someone who hangs himself in a suicide.

I'll tell you, it's been a real b!tch getting away from them though. Jesus, they're everywhere!

You should feel no guilt, I don't expect you to feel guilt, and I also stressed that if it's asking too much, that I was sorry. It was just a request.

As I still would like to visit this thread regardless, I basically just quickly scrolled by them to get to the bottom. They're on the previous page now so no matter. Just a request. I'm sorry.

I deleted my post. Sorry, Kerri.

Have a safe and happy new year.
