Saddam Hussein executed - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com

Deposed Iraqi dictator hanged for deaths of 148 Shiites in 1982

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Three years after he was hauled from a hole in the ground by pursuing U.S. forces, Saddam Hussein was hanged Saturday under a sentence imposed by an Iraqi court, an Iraqi official told NBC News.

The deposed president was found guilty over the killing of 148 members of the Shiite population of the town of Dujail after militants tried to assassinate him there in 1982, during Iraq?s war with Shiite Iran.

Asked if Saddam were dead, the official in the Iraqi prime minister's office said, ?Yes, the body of Saddam Hussein is in front of me.?

_______________

Sad day that a human life was lost but a good day for people needing to see that man dead.

@Drnaline,
I thought the red card was a good touch. It's good that chapter is closed in the war.

@Drnaline,
I'll be glad when the media feeding frenzy is over.

Something tells me things seem to be too calm.

I'm not quite as happy as those folks. We cleaned up a mess we helped create, which is nothing to cheer about.

Two car bombs going off over there this morning may have put a damper on a few folks dancing in the streets.

Things seem to be business as usual.

I am glad Saddam got a taste of his own medicine. :cool:

@Drnaline,
I felt sorry for the old scumbag. Yeah....he was one EVIL bastard, but I still felt sorry for him. Killing is a tough job. Glad I'm not in that business.:FU1:

@Drnaline,
I didn't really feel sorry for him, he had it coming.IMO.

I don't agree with the way he was executed. His executioners were taunting him, which I thought was ignorant and uncalled for.

"His executioners were taunting him, which I thought was ignorant and uncalled for."

Yeah.....and chanting vengefully the name of an Islamic leader Saddam had had executed. The guy was probably just as brutal as Saddam, if not worse. I have read allegations made by hefty scholars that Arabs are uncivilized, and that Islam's popularity among them is attributable to its theological compromises to their basic, brutal nature. At times I wonder. :FU1:

Generalizations like this only create more intolerance.
