Re: Saddam to die 30 days from now! I almost felt sorry for him, seeing as he's never done anything to me personally, nor have I ever had any emotions regarding what he's done to other people, I don't see why I should be happy watching him die.

I bet if he was friendly to me I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. :no1:Some people do deserve death, but no one deserves eternal torment in hell.
Re: Saddam to die 30 days from now! Yeah, I'm not going to judge him based on what the media tells me. Obviously he did a lot of awful things, but I've never seen videos of the people he indirectly murdered, so for me watching him die is going to make me more sympathetic with him.

Re: Saddam to die 30 days from now! Who the hell ordered an epileptic cameraman to cover such a big event?

Re: Saddam to die 30 days from now! Well I think he did enough to deserve the death sentence. He had a lot of people killed, more than some other people who get the death sentence do. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean that he wasn't a terrible person and didn't deserve it. It was his own country that sentenced him wasn't it? They would know.

I'm just saying that I don't understand why so many members around here are ecstatic to see him dead.
Re: Saddam to die 30 days from now! well, so much for 30 days from the 27th. He is dead, and I cant say that I miss him. Suitable death for a terrible man.
Re: Saddam to die 30 days from now! I don't think he was a bad guy per-say. Unlike other leaders, like Hitler and Stalin, I think he didn't really know what he was doing. He was insane, crazy and undoubtedly had no right being the leader of a country.

Kim Jong-Il is way worse, he's far more psychotic than Saddam, and what has he done for North Korea? At least Saddam did some positive things for his country.

Like rob them medicial necessities, keeping business out of the country, doing nothing to help a depressing economy, having little freedom, having a mob run military police running the streets, murdering innocent people and people who didn't agree with him, killing hundreds of thousands and dumping them in unmarked graves throughout the country, brainwashing and lying to his people, having no elections... I see no positives at all.

Re: Saddam to die 30 days from now! BCB, I think you are not thinking of military as a business. All of the military police you refering too are people. Those people are doing their jobs. Without this police there are no jobs. Jobs = Economy.. I don't really see how he brainwashed his people, its hard to do it on such a wide-scale. And for murdering innocent people, how many times was he almost assassinated? 10 times? The people he killed were the people and the relatives of those people who tried to kill him. It was, more or less, almost an act of self defense

You said Saddam's rule had many positives, I couldn't find any so I pointed them out.
