This is real sad.....but I wonder how many of our kids will be chewed up in the riots after they hang Sadam? I personally will be glad to see him go, but if a cartoon causes people to kill people...I think we ought to think of how many US troops will die because Sadam is swinging? Aren't the bad guys pissed off enough?

Yeah.....agreed.

It sickens me to hear these folks saying things like, "what else they gonna do to us?"

They ain't gonna do much to "us".

We ain't sitting over there in the middle of that shit.

Saddam's virtual corpse will be carried around by those who are probably as deserving of his fate...yet will attempt to reap even more wealth from his demise.

I feel I am shouting at a wall.....it is so frustrating.

God Bless Our Troops!

I thank them for their willingness to answer the call. I hope it ends soon.

I'm needing a psychoanalyst tonight. For some reason, I'm feeling some regret that they're going to kill Saddam.

I've never been opposed to the death penalty in cases where we know we've got the right man. And, among the living, nobody else I can think of has been responsible for more killings and misery than Saddam (outside warfare). So somebody please tell me why I feel bad about this guy getting what he deserves.

Is it his charisma? His fame? Would I be more willing to kill him if he were more ugly?
I'm at a loss.

I hope the boy's father has plenty of support. I'm afraid I would need to be under a suicide watch under those circumstances.

"So somebody please tell me why I feel bad about this guy getting what he deserves." Spirit.

Maybe because you realize it's the end of an era and the beginning of a worst error. Perhaps you recall our own Dear Dick sitting across the table negotiating oil deals with Saddam about 20 years ago. Or did you recall revelations of memos between Bush ver.1 and Saddam regarding lands grabbed by Kuwait which belonged to Iraq? Saddam was such a anti-communist hero we supported when he took power by a coup. And we applauded his efforts to fight Iran for us and gave him many weapons to carry out the fight, including the wmd which wingnuts now say were the ones he was gonna use to threaten the World. Then they showed him being pulled from a hole in the ground and Bush gloating about it, over and over with excessive pride because that's all he had since there was no Osama. With Pakistan about one assassin's bullet away from being a radical, bomb-toting Islamic state nobody dares to go in and remove Osama. They probably spend more to protect Osama than capture him. The world is safer with him out of U.S. hands.

Would sadness still prevail if it was Osama facing the noose?

I'm sorry I hijacked this thread, but the topic is too horrible to discuss. I don't know how you survive the death of your child. My father lived 2 months after my little brother was killed in a wreck in 1982.

They said it was a sudden cancer, but I think I know better and knowing he was never going to recover, his death was merciful.

I don't believe you ever really recover from losing a child. This poor family.
