Hi Everyone,
I'd like to add one thing to this subject:
All we know about the reasons of the war come from the media. If they make fake pictures, or tell lies, they do it on both sides. There is always a reasonable explanation for every move, but this explanations are made by people whose job is explain things to the masses.
I have a gun, right? This guy pisses me off, I bit him up.
You ask me why,I say 'cause he wanted to shoot me.
You say he had no gun. I say he was about to get one.
Man, if this is all what those guys could come up with, I really don't want to know what the real reason could be of this war.

Not to talk poorly of the dead, but this guy was a small-time Stalin -- he murdered/tortured people who looked crosseyed at him.

Good riddance.

Hopefully (now) the insurgents will lay down their arms and accept the electoral process.

hey guys, misters and madams!

i wonder why do you quarrel, attack and offend each other because of people whom you know only due to mass media and who affect your lives only indirectly?

You remember "The Matrix"? your mind believes in what your eyes see and your ears hear.
Jamie (K), would you pull the trigger if there was Saddam standing in front of you on his knees?
Che Gevara, would you do the same for, say, G.W.B.?

all i know about this war and execution is what someone wants me to know. unfortunately. media captures the environment from here and from there and from there and again from here. but it tends to capture only hot spots. Moreover, the data is nicely filtered out before it is passed to you. And the result is pretty simple - some hot breaking shaking faking news, needed only to:
1. make you think in the way big guys want it (don't ask me who are the big guys... if only i knew!)
2. this is important: fill in the space between two consecutive Coca Cola and Pepsi ads.

i didn't knew Saddam personally. I can't judge whether he was good guy, bad guy. The scenes on TV were awful. But i am not 100% sure if it was he who was responsible for that. And are you sure? what's your source? Is it trusted source?
i don't know his executors personally. neither i can judge them.

All i know is that a man was executed. but that's in history already...

Happy New Year!

The real reason was to get rid of Saddam.... he was a bad dude anyway, and he'd tried to kill President Bush's dad.

It was theorized that the insurgency would be quelled far more quickly than it has been... once Iraqis had a free vote. They had the free vote, but the insurgency remains.

Hi Jamie (K),

Do you think it is good that the United States and some other countries sent troops to Iraq? And what do you think of His Excellency President Saddam Husayn al-Tikriti's execution?

Hi aereal
I am not trying to offend anyone
I do not want G.W.B dead and if he was standing in front of me ,I would have told him that because of him have died 3000 US troops and much more Iraq people.. He’s a President of a Great Country and he had to work in the interests of humanity not he's own..

So can anyone tell me what does this mean -" You put your foot in your mouth when you do”

Hi Che!

According to dict.leo.org. " to put your foot into your mouth" means to do something that makes you standing alone. You might understand it that way: you allowed yourself doing a silliness that is outing you as a person who is babbling not really knowing what he/she is talking about, for instance!

Hope I explained it the right way! Directly translated from the German you would say: "you step into the pot of grease".

I know.

Hopefully it will happen. Iraqis have already voted for (and elected) new leaders. When it happened, not quite a year ago, the top three positions were occupied by a Sunni, a Shi'a, and a Kurd. That is representative. We hoped that it would help to quell the violence. But it continues.

I can see how some Sunnis might be miffed (angry/disgruntled) at Saddam's execution, but he was nasty to Kurds and Shi'a. Saddam Hussein was a very bad man.

Probably the best solution -- in terms of peace -- would be to magically split the country into three soverign states: Kurdistan, Sunnistan and Shiastan (or some such names)... but that's way easier said than done, and what would you do with all the refugees? Plus, many or most Iraqis probably don't WANT their country split-up.

But man, if you could get all of the Shi'a in Shiastan, all the Kurds in Kurdistan and all the Sunnis in Sunnistan... at least that might stop the violence. Then when everyone settled down... they could re-integrate and get along, as one unified Iraq. (right now i'm blowing smoke, but lol it's fun)

At any rate, the vast majority of Iraqis are peaceful -- this is a case, imo, of a small group of violent sociopaths ruining things for everyone else.

standing alone ? hmm ok thanks Fan of Arabian horses

prez
I know Saddam was bad,but it's impossible to quell the violence by killing people,cause there will be always someone who will try to take revenge on their friends,parents or children..
you're right probably they will never agree to split their Country into 3 parts
I have no idea,how this war can be ended.. I just know that Iraqis have to decide that on their own..

yeah

like if you start talking about a certain (generally accepted as...) unattractive trait, and someone in the group has that trait...

and it slips out before you can stop yourself from saying it...

you have put the proverbial foot in the proverbial mouth.

or you start ripping on a type of candy, and... well you'll see:

Tom: I hate Jawbreakers.

Most of the group nods, and then...

Cindy: My dad works in the Jawbreaker factory, and we eat them all the time.

oops
