Gasoline On The Fire

Saddam was a bad guy who deserved to die, OK? So is the King of Saudi Arabia, the runt running North Korea, whoever runs Sudan, and the guy who designed the Time Warner customer service phone system.

However, the unbelievably amateurish manner in which Bush's Shiite puppet government carried out the execution will cause more harm to the U.S. in the long run than Saddam ever did.

How many more 18-year olds have to die for these wretched people? Pull out our troops NOW and let the barbarians continue their 1400-year-old religious war. We can all sit back and root for the Kurds.

The hanging of Saddam Hussein was carried out in such a thuggish, barbaric, and chaotic manner that it defies belief. It seemed like an improvised lynching, not a state execution.

A cell phone video shows the execution to be a Shiite affair, complete with chants of "Muqtada, Muqtada." Saddam is the most dignified guy in the room, and the manner of his execution is sure to make him a martyr in the eyes of some.
