The Fate of Saddam Hussien

[uss]

I think it'd be best if they would executute him, the Iraqi authorities, not American. Then it would be absolutely sure that he's done with. One shouldn't care if what awaits him in the afterlife is enough big of a punishment to him, just know he's gone.

I don't really want to see him die a painful, horrible death or anything. Him bearing the thought that he has failed is enough for me.


By the way, what happened to that minister guy, who was so sure they'd win?

You mean Baghdad Bob ? He wasn't on the list of "most wanted". They let him go, he's walking around freely. Honestly, would you punish a comedian like him ? Even when the tanks where in his line of sight, he was still smiling for the camera, and telling the reporters there was no need to worry, everything was under control.

Btw, i hear he posts in the Oasis nowadays. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

The last I've heard was some TV channel wanna hire him as their news reader. Don't know whether he took the job or not.

To speak with Bob's own words, "don't believe them, none of that is true".

I think it would be unwise for the United States or any other United Nations body to proclaim punishment for Saddam. Only by allowing the people of Iraq to express their thoughts on what fair punishment for Saddam should be, can they truly put his regime to rest. It has to be a movement of the people. Now how to implement this...well that's another matter altogether. A mass vote, would see fair, but how to organize that, would be difficult to decide. A trial by a jury of his former subjects? O.k., but who is selected to be on the panel of jurymembers? Baathists? U.S. supporters? The country is deeply divided, but the way in which the prosecution of Hussein is handled, could just as easily become an olive branch, as it could a foreign crisis.

Hehe yeah, he was one heck of a comedian. Now imagine if he'd make his own talkshow, he'd become very popular, I'm sure. It's time for the Late Night Baghdad-Bob Show!


By the way, today morning's Estonian newspaper Postimees had a funny picture(they do it every once in a while) of a family of 3 and a dialogue. Translation:

Father: "But that's Karl Marx.."

Mother: "Fidel Castro.."

Child: "They arrested Santa!"

Kittens the militia must be having aside, this is definitely a spot of good news in a sordid affair. We'll know the truth, finally, to total equivicality.

Since everyone is happy I thought it'd be the right time to show this

P.S. Yes I know I showed this before. But it's nice if you can have a second laugh right?
