I'm just worried about the people who now view Saddam as a martyr. Not just the ones already agreed, but those who get "inspired".

Good point. Mocking off, forgetting on.

"We look at Hussein’s hanging and we cringe." Yes, that's what I'm talking about. It doesn't mean we respect him, just that we recognize common human-ness.

As to death by hanging - or any other avenue - I have never seen a painless or stress-free death. They all happen in the midst of fear and struggle.


The story of Hussein's hanging will unfold over time. In the US it's already been overtaken by 'the Donald' v Rosie. But in Iraq I think it was a signal to Sunnis. That if they fight they had better fight to the death b/c they will be dead men (and women) at the start. If I had to predict I expect it to make a few Sunnis back down but to radicalize even more.
