Thread: Saddam Hung

Your all wrong, its down to women, they start wars . They make the blokes that control the buttons jealous so they blow the competition up. They make us believe we are in control but we arent

The marjority of American's are good and decent people. My father who fought the Japs in the second world war use to say if it had not been for the yanks Australia would have been stuffed and told me never to forget that.

However Bush and Rumsfield what ever his name is will go down in history as being one of the biggest jokes of the century over the Iraq conflict. I bet if Bush had his time over he would never have invaded Iraq.

Hindsight what a great thing.

Sure Saddam was responsable for Mass deaths, but so are many of the worlds leaders in one form or another, even in our own country.

Remember Tasmania 1804:



Makes you wonder just how little we have developed as a humans when we still feel the need to kill others regardless of what the reason.

Everyone blames religion as the problem. Maybe people need to face reality, if man was created in God's image then maybe we are the god's. After all we seems to be able to decide who and what lives and dies on our planet.

For those who believe in a eye for an eye. Stop and ask yourself when does that way of thinking stop. eg, You kill my brother so I kill yours, Then you kill ....... so on and so on, sounds a little too familiar to me, like perhaps the cause for the constant war. In short there is no answer.

Killing the guy was wrong, for 2 reasons. Does he fell remorse for what he did? NO, he feels nothing nor will he ever again. Will it truely make a difference if he lived or died? They hung the Nazis they rounded up responsable for mass murders too, hasn't stopped people being Nazi's.

Funny how with most mass murderers we try to study them for an insight into what makes them tick, to do that they need to be alive. To hide information that someone has that can harm those in power, thats easy "Dead people dont tell lies!!"

Just my 2 bobs worth

I'm sure the relatives of his victims either by his hands or from his orders, feel slightly better that they got to see him hanged. I have personal views on the subject but will keep them to myself considering the last time I posted in response to you I seem to have offended.


It does remind me of the old proverb of Dobbo. "One person will be be overwhelmed by the beauty of a Rose, they are the optimist, another only sees it's thorns, they are a pessimist, the last person sees the pile of bullshyte the plant is grown from.

If you think about it, I think Brian's comment actually goes hand in hand with both yours, and more specifically with MickS.
I don't think it's meant to be inflamatory.
