Hey Slick,
How did I try to hijack this thread into an anti-Bush campaign? Let's see, I posted this:
Quote:Anything 'hate America' or anti-Bush in there? Not that I can see.
"But then, I'm disturbed by the death of any unrepentant person, whether executed, murderered, accidental or natural."
So I guess you were deeply disturbed at Pinochet's passing.
Let's see, old thread, "Pinochet Dies." http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=18&t=25847 Any posting by Cartoon expressing disturbance? Nope. No posting by Cartoon at all.
You look terribly silly trying to amputate the topic of Iraq and Hussein from Bush and Blair. I was just making fun of you b/c you were so foolish.

Actually, I was referring to Simonwho's post.
Got a little ego going there, Rue? "Oh, I'm Rue. It's all about me."
How embarrassing for you. Loser.

My bad. I was assuming when you wrote this "C'mon, Rue. If you want to hijack every thread for your hate America rants, we can't stop you" you were addressing me. I should have known that 'Rue' really meant 'SimonWho'.
I hope we have gotten past that pointless distraction.

Let's see turned blue first, foamed up, tongue popped out, and then crapped his pants. I don't get deep over the wicked their just evil. The perfect end to his life.

They've never even convinced me that he is a bad guy, or at the very least that he has ever done anything to me personally. I think being a secular guy like he was, we just destroyed our only potential ally in the Middle East. I surely liked him more than anybody who would send somebody with a bomb strapped on their chest into one of our malls.
I don't pretend to know any more than any joker out there about what goes on in the rest of the world. I surely think I know more about it than a lot of people because I use common sense as an alternative to being told what to think and I try to watch as little news and misinformation as I can.

Just because we live here doesn't mean that we are any less prone to propoganda and lies than any other idiot on this rock. Not anti-America rant here... just anti government-media. I'm the biggest patriot you'll ever know.
I won't even watch the videos, just like I wouldn't watch the Steve Irwin death vids or even "Faces of Death". I just think it's pretty sick that so many people out there get their rocks off by watching death videos and laughing about death, no matter how much they've been told they should be happy about its occurance. This thread and other's like it just remind me of the "Two Minutes Hate" in 1984.
Read the book if you haven't. BigGov has taken it out of our school cirriculum. I didn't read it till I was 23.

Nicolae Ceauşescu. Though the legality of it all was a bit dubious. But I doubt anyone in Romania still misses him.

It was for them.
Yeah, they'll be coming back to life any day now.
Doubtlessly you'll be similarly pleased by the execution of Bush and Blair, on behalf of the hundreds of thousands dead by their orders.
Bush and Blair freed more from Saddams tyranny than were accidentally killed. You want to equate the intentional murders by Saddam w/ the colateral dammage from the Iraq war? You're not worth wasting my time.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Hussein freed more from death by anarchy than he killed. I suppose that makes him a hero then.

The Iraqi Governemnt made a big mistake executing Saddam....and even worse, much worse was burying him in his hometown.
He should have been set in permanent exile on an un-disclosed island somewhere, given a knife and bow and arrow, and left alone to fend for himself.
All the Iraqi govt. has done by executing him & burying him in Iraq was to provide a permanent shrine and martyr status for all the insane maniacs who loved him.
Also, would have been a great sign of maturity and democracy if they didn't kill him...showing the world they can transfer govt. leadership to civilian authority without killing the predecessor.

Bush and Blair and the war have little to do with the manner, style, and the method of Saddam's execution. Sure, they ordered the invasion of Iraq that sent Saddam to the noose by way of the spider hole (or was he digging his own grave), but they were not slipping the noose around his neck, they didn't taunt him to the gallows, they didn't make fun of the Cleveland Browns jersey he was wearing.
So while it is not possible to talk about Iraq without talking about Bush, Blair, and Saddam...it is possible to talk specifically about Saddam's execution without straying into the political minefield.
For example...anybody think it was a hemp rope and if so, would you smoke it?
Do you think Saddam was wearing diapers (for obvious reasons)?
What do you think his last meal was? I think he wanted orange popsickels.
