    I find that picture rather disturbing by the way.
    It's bad taste and hypocritical.

    We're not allowed to post porn but it's ok to show a man about to be killed>

    It's nothing better than a snuff movie.

    Sickening
    Sickening, indeed.

    However:

    Leaving aside for a moment the issue of "playing God", the idea of characterizing Saddam's going to his death at the end of a rope as obscene is extremely small potatoes when laid against the fact that, for the same misbegotten reason, we have not (so far) been allowed to "enjoy" the video evidence from Saddam's own archive, which evidence was used to convict him.

    It would seem that if this evidence was released for view by any and all, any voices previously inclined to rise in support of "fairness" to Saddam might be muted.

    One might say we would be "sickened", no?

    This bent to keep such evidence from review by other than judicial bodies deprives us of what we need to discern good from evil, moral from immoral...we have been deemed too fragile to deal with these things, but how are we to think correctly about any of it without access to the evidence?

    Are we afraid we'd be stricken with bloodlust?

    BTW-

    It's the same dynamic that has the pro-abortion crowd screaming about showing an indecisive pregnant mother video of a baby in the womb, or, conversely, a partial-birth abortion, so that she might make an "informed" decision about her condition.

    I agree there was political mischief involved in the way it was handled. I think that the "trial" was a predetermined piece of theatrics. But I also think that he got what he deserved.
    Even though I say good riddance, I don't see is why it's a reason for us to celebrate.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Yes indeed you made a comprehensive point yourself. Just like all the other threads where you make infantile statements like "that's silly"....yet can never explain why.

    So he has been executed and you post a party smilie like this is going to solve something. OK explain why. What advantage has been gained by this other than you wingnuts thinking this is some kind of victory.
    Going into Iraq had nothing to do with the "war on terror". Iraq was not a threat to us and had not attacked us.
    By every technical definition it's a civil war. 3000+ killed each month, who is killing those people?


    I couldn't care less about the demise Of hussain. He is one among many in this world that deserves such a fate. What I care about is what it actually achieves in ending this war? what has it solved?


    It was silly. It's an immensely biased poll, and only you would require explanation.

    Do you honestly think that the American people think that Bush is worse than Satan on a 25:1 basis?? It's just silly. They didn't even try to make the poll believable, yet they posted it anyways. And where was the poll taken anyhow? In the MSNBC break room? The Oscars? ACLU headquarters? It certainly wasn't an accurate depiction of the American peoples feelings, otherwise he would have a maximum approval rating of 4%.

    It's just as silly Seedler's "Army Ranger". Silly, silly, silly.

    The question was "name your villain of 2006". they didn't offer those names and ask people to choose

    I guess it is silly though because Bush also came first (13%) in the name the hero of 2006 in the same poll....Of course this was an

    The poll just reported the answers given and the percentages.

    If you think it bias or silly to ask "who was your villain of 2006" or "who was your hero of 2006", and not give a choice from a list of names, but let the person come up with their own answer, then please enlighten me as to how such a question could be polled in an unbiased and non silly way.

    Now had you said "I don't agree with their choice" then you may have a reasonable opinion. But instead you decided that the poll was silly and bias

    Skiz probably assumed it was multiple choice like all his tests from schoowol.
