I was wondering why it wasn't on Pay-Per-View. Hell, that could have paid for the whole damn war.

Yeah, I couldn't watch anything about it on the news as believe it or not, I feel sorry for him. Yes, I know what he did. Just my human nature I guess.

Was it really necessary to make it into a show? Whatever happened to last rites and basic human dignity? It just reeks of lowering oneself.

I would imagine that a lot of people got a small measure of closure from it. He affected a lot of people, and almost none of them in a good way.

I just want to know, why do it at sunrise? Couldn't they let the poor doomed bastard sleep in a little on his last day on earth?

I think that to feel sympathy for someone like him is to show that we are human, and that we haven't yet lost our basic humanity. I don't support the death penalty from a personal perspective, but that said, if anyone deserved to hang, it was him. I'm sure his death is small comfort to the many others who died at his command.
