It's as if the New Testament never happened.......

I bet if I said something like that I'd be accused of 'bringing my religion' in to it. Hypocrasy rules OK.

True. So going on the earlier 'eye for an eye' comment, there's no way Bill can claim to be 'equal' in all this, seeing as he didn't die with "the same sort of barbarism as he saw fit to unleash on his victims".

Give it a week and he will be said to have opened a restaurant in London selling Iraqi food.

Fine, and I'm sure that in some twisted way, Saddam and his supporters can justify the deaths they were responsible for.

Yes, I don't see how the state killing someone for their crimes is much different to killing someone for murder, what message are they sending out here, this is how strong Iraqi justice is or meet the new boss, same as the old boss, especially as if what some of the reports are saying is true the whole trial is a bit of a sham.

I see the muppet Bush saying it was a great day for justice and exiled Iraqi calling for us all to celebrate, well tbh I don't find much joy in someone's death even if they are a monster and I certainly don't think it very appropriate for someone who calls themselves a Christian to say its a great day, mind you this is the bloke who 'doesn't regret a single death sentence I (Bush) signed'

Lets face it the unadulterated video will no doubt make it onto a few websites and youtube

The execution video if i recall correctly is on Sky's website (http://www.sky.com/news)

Russ · 30-12-2006, 10:59

I'm sure the full version will find its way to the web soon enough..

Phew! and there was me thinking you were either going to remove my post for linking to it (although it doesnt actually show his execution) or close the thread.

Russ · 30-12-2006, 11:03

Not really, if it's fit enough to be shown on tv then generally it's ok for CF.

it doesn't show you much, just him getting the rope round his neck, thats it, I bet his masked hangmen, all apologised all the way through it.

Will hanging him improve matters? I dont think so.
How about all the innocent people killed by joint bombing by america and britain? are we to see bush/blair led to the gallows? unfortunately not

kronas · 30-12-2006, 12:18

flawed trial......however killing him has achieved???? so hes dead what now ? we know civil war has been happening for a while now in iraq, this will just inflame things even further, bring more hatred towards western countries...

im not going to blame people (civillians) for the backlash, on the news all you hear is crimes against humanity, but clear cut evidence, i have not read any, personally, its ok saying hes charged with this and that but real credible evidence ?

I heard on the news that he had a 'dignified end', so even then he was really sticking two fingers up at the world, would of been better if he had gone out crying like a girl

what would that achieve, he has had so long time to think about his impending death he proberbly got used to the idea, they made him wait, he didnt sweat, it seems you like to see humans suffer, i am aware of what hes done, but certain statements in this thread have made me sick, in the end whatever happened to him doesent hide that the fact that if he did do what we are told he has done then nothing is really going to change, the people he has supposedly killed are not going to come back are they ?
