Gee, took them long enough. Discuss. Remember, this is against terrorism, not the middle east.
I don't think he wanted to keep his beard? o.o; If I remember correctly, he didn't have one before he went into hiding. Just a moustache, which they apparently let him keep according to the news report on the radio.latiosspud said:I find it wrong that they forced shaved his beard. Even though he's a bad man he still should have the right to keep his beard.

Certainly the capture of Saddam Hussein(sp) is certainly a monumental day in the demise of terrorism...but we must consider all of Saddam's followers that are still running around Iraq with bombs strapped to their bodies...Terrorism is when people have the belief that by killing themselves as well as several of opposing soldiers, they will be a hero in heaven. Saddam's followers will not stop fighting until they are all dead, just chasing the dream to die a hero and get a free ticket into Heaven. Theoretically, there is no way to completely stop terrorism unless we nuke all of Iraq, and thus all of the suicide bombers, but that will kill more innocent civilians than we can afford at this point, so you can see how conflicted the U.S. military officers must be at this point. We want to stop the Terrorist regime with as few American/British/whoever else casualities as possible, but that will be incredibly hard with th opponents we are facing now...latiosspud said:I have mixed feelings for Saddam so I'm not happy or sad.
As long as he doesn't kill me I don't care. I have mix feelings for most of what people call "evil" leaders.The Mozz said:They shaved his beard because the world needed to recognize him underneath the facial hair that has grown. It's the same reason why Uday and Qusay were shaved before they were shown to the world.
Interesting how someone can have "mixed feelings" for a mass murderer.
As for mewthree, just letting you know how many people we're saving.. Let's see... in the 9 months after the invasion (I think), at 10k/month.. that's 90,000 Iraqis we've saved from Saddam. Yeah, it's worth it. Also, that whole "Bring democracy and a good economy to Iraq" thing.

Turn on the news or go here:igtica said:Our PM announced that US troops captured him, but only the media seem to speculate whether its him or not. Can't say much until its confirmed though, a bit weird that the PM is so certain.
