    Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been executed, according to two Arabic language media outlets. Earlier, an Iraqi judge told CNN Hussein would be hanged before dawn on Saturday in Iraq, (10 p.m. Friday ET). The former president was convicted of crimes against humanity in connection with the killings of 148 people in Dujail.

    Well, he's gone. And for what he's convicted of lead him to this.

    Saddam Hussein
    1937 - 2006.

    Happy New Year, if it's yet so happy.

    Oh, it's on the front page of CNN, by the way.

    It's about time.

    I read he gave his brother his will when he visited him in his jail cell yesterday. I knew it wouldn't be long...

    Now, let the chaos begin. =\
     
    He had it coming, and I really do hope he suffered, struggling for each and every breath.

    Um, yeah. So now things will really hype up in the war, and all we can do is hope they have bad suicide bombers who don't kill a thing but themselves, eh?
     
    I'm not going to have an opinion..because ghosts might actually exist.

    But I know my Muslim friend would be happy...So I'm only happy for her. XD
     
    Even though he did so many things wrong I can't stop feeling a sense of guilt about his execution.

    Sure, he murdered hundreds of people, but by taking his life, doesn't that make us sink to his level?

    ...

    Considering how hangings are supposed to break the criminals neck in an instant, I can't say that he suffered really.

    Which is quite unfortunate, cause I think he deserved worse than death.

    Ya, torturing. XD

    Either way, Nica, even if he did come back as a ghost, I'm sure he'd be less dangerous than in real life, so don't worry. >.>

    Oh and also, killing him is better than putting him in jail and stuff. I mean, it takes money, effort and supplies to hold people in jail, if we just killed them, sicne their well (this may sound harsh XD) useless in society, then it just amkes sense to kill them.
     
    Yeah, but Irac is very divided about it. Some people are outraged he was executed while others are happy. I don't see that it's going so solve much if some aren't happy about it.
     
    Saddam had his run in killing inoccent people, it's only fair for him to be executed. I can't see why some people from Iraq would be disappointed of the execution, really, he wasn't that of a great leader at all. At least it's over and done with. =\
     
    I'm happy he's dead. I don't care if his ghost comes and haunts me. I read his boigraphy and he deserved it as well as he did to the Shiittes. I mean his killed millions of people and some of yous say we sink to his level. Well by all means, if we sink into his level, we're happy about it. Does anyone know where his video is at on the internet, my father wants to see it.
     
    Good riddance to a sick minded man. Although I doubt this will affect the current conflicts in Afganastan {Sorry if I spelled that wrong} and Iraq too much.
     
    I was actually online when I saw the headlines that they killed Saddam. I didn't expect them to kill him off that quickly.

    Part of me is overjoyed that he's dead, but the other part of me fears that those guys will see him as a martyr in the whole War On Terror and the attacks on our fighting men and women will get much worse.

    Seriously, it's probably a good thing that he's gone, but it always just creeps me out to say that I'm glad somebody's dead. I don't care how bad they were, the creepy and guilty feeling remains. I don't think I really understand how people feel when they say that...oh well.

    No guilt here. Then again I could really care less eitherway because I havn't been affected (my way of life) snce I don't travel much and stuff. I mean, I might be overjoyed if I lived in America, but I am yet to feel threatened XD

    And it isn't sinking down to his level. We did not kill millions of innocent people, i think. Eitherway, shouldnt the army just pull out of Iraq sicne they no longer have a leader? >.>
