And that, my friend, is why conflicts never end...

Sigh.

IIRC they did offer him exile as an option a few years back didn't they? He refused of course, and went into hiding. There's no way I could have watched that leaked video of his death...things like that disturb me when they are real.

The footage was rather bad, someone filmed it with his cellphone. When Saddam actually fell, you couldn't see a thing, it all happened too fast. [/QUOTE]Was there audio? The sound would make me cringe...*shiver*

yes, there was audio, you could hear the guards cheer for Sadr, the Shia leader, which was clearly to humiliate Saddam before he died, but he just stood there and replied something like "do you feel tough now ?" and "you'll burn in hell for this", then he started quoting some passages from the koran, and that's when he fell. The noise was chaotic when it happened, if i wouldn't know what was going on, the noise wouldn't make me any wiser either. :D

Anyway, the guard who filmed the whole thing, got arrested yesterday.

Good thing they got whatever sadistic bastard filmed it. Anyone involved in taunting him should be locked up for life or handed over to the crowd.

Whatever Saddam might've done in life, he at least deserved a modicum of dignity when he died.

But it wasn't the filmer that taunted him, it was the "leader" of the execution team...

They all taunted him by cheering "Muqtada Muqtada Muqtada", it wasn't just one guy, it was the whole crew, with the exception of one guy who was heard saying "please show some respect, the man is about to die".

Btw....Muqtada is Muqtada Al Sadr, the Shia cleric.
