Sadam's Hanging....

[slim6y]

You know in Iraq and places like that you can buy petrol for 4 cents a litre... Imagine if you took in your Coles servo saver fuel vouchers

 

[FAY]

No, not just americans ISK67.

I just find it strange that the american armed forces and those who direct them never have to held accoundable for their actions. Why is this? They can invade countries on a whim, have over 250,000 troops posted around the world(unwelcome), take what they want when they want it and never get seriously questioned.

As for Mr Howard, he is nothing but a Puppet. He is a disgusting little man hardly worthy of a mention.

It is funny though how everyones seems to whinge and whine about Howard and Bush.....yet they still keep getting voted in!!

 

[FAY]

Sorry i was a bit harsh

We wouldn't even know the half of what he has done to his own people............I am certainly not sorry that he got hung even though that was TOO good for him after all the atrocities that he has done. Most evil rulers don't get their true justice!!

I was listening to a very intersting interview with a retired journalist on the ABC last night who witnessed the last hanging execution in Australia. He was criticised by the hangman because the reporting of the event the next morning was viewed by the hangman as an unfair assessment of his skills. He considered himself a skilled tradesman as he had been a hangman all over the world including the nazi war trials and had never had any complaints.
The journalist said that he was amazed how this guy blurred 4 actions into about one second.
He jerked the rope tight around the neck as he pulled the hood down while immediately leaping to the side and at the seemingly at the same moment pulled the lever.

People also quickly forget that the USA is also by far the country that donates the most foreign aid to people who need it most in countries with economical hardship or who have faced natural disasters. Guess which country recieves the most foreign aid? Iraq. 3244 million US.

True Words

I think the world is a very disturbed, corrupt and disgusting place, and we will never know what really goes on in the world….

These are probably the fairest words siad in this whole thread.

Death by hanging, electrocution or firing squad etc is no way to die. Happy and old is the only way to die.

What Saddam did was in comprehensible. His lawlessness and dictatorship style was totally unjust and not RIGHT. Keep him in jail for the rest of his life is fine but execution IMO is no the way to go. He is now a martyr and more trouble will result in such a big way.

Gillsy thank you. The military people who are over there are every day people with girlfriend's wive's kids family & friends. It is just their line of work that has put them in this situation. As the partner of a navy Man it is a HUGE worry that he will be sent away to fight this (or any) war. Army personell have it much worse.

I too DO NOT agree with this war but can anyone really say why it is happening? Some people say 911 but is that just America's excuse? My mother always said two wrongs do not make a right!

As for my partner's earlier comment on our defence force not having the power and we may need America one day. I agree. The entire Australian Military is LESS than the American police force. Imagine if we did not join forces?


ISK67 i too do not fully understand any of the politics behind this war. All i know is that if this turns into World War 3 am alone.

To wish for worl peace is unrealistic but we can wish for peace in our own hearts - hopefully one day the world will see eye to eye, if not (like mum used to say) If you can't say something nice - Don't say anything at all

Not really its humans who want it to be like some hippy fairyland where everthing is good and happy and nothing suffers, it isnt going to happen ever.

Saddam was a great leader for many ppl and a great man in many ppls eyes, but now he has found where he belongs.

 

[Earthling]

dragons75 that s a really funny clip...........

Fear.....Fear that we MIGHT get invaded ONEDAY in the FUTURE................after all what about those Muslims over the water?
Just because johnnys a puppet and goes "yes sir no sir three bags full sir" doesnt mean US will help us. the US is overstretched to the max in Iraq and everwhere else. Wheres the troops and air power going to come from that they send us? and why help us? just because we say right on georgee porgy and send a token force of a few thousand?
Theres other countries that would support us better.
Plus the countries ditrectly around us that could attack us wouldnt stand a chance.

JC.......Lint.

 

[leighroyaus]

I feel as if saddam was just a scape goat for americas quest for more oil and george bush seniors personal little war.

Why doesnt america do somethign about the tyrants of somali and other wartorn countries?
Why dont they step up to south korea or china bout there WOMD?
Because they aer pussys and they have no chance to win nor is there oil there.

I see george bush as a war criminal myself and would gladly liek to see him hung.
All those lives lost in iraq for what? the countrie is worse off now then it was when it was under saddams rule. There was no WOMD. even saddams trial was botched.

I personally cannot wait for the day china steps up and puts america back in there place.

 

[cris]

As far as i know the Australian involvement in iraq has been very effective and i think there has been nothing at all done wrong by our military or politicians on this matter.

Where are these allies you talk of earthing? is NZ going to send around an inflatable boat with a machinegun on it? :lol:

Anyone with much knowledge on the subject would know we are screwed without the americans, no other country can provide any substaintial support with the possible exception of some european countries(UK etc.) if they arnt busy themselves.

 

[dymback]

Who should be hanged first?
1. Bush? People Murdered by him: Millions

2. Blair? People Murdered by him: Thousands

3. Saddam? People Murdered by him: 113 Kurdish

i didnt kill anyone
lol

 

[Earthling]

Cris who are we worried about that is going to attack us?
if its some two bit country like which they are all around us we will be fine with our 'small' but highly significant allies.
However if its China....it will be a World War and everybody will be in it anyways so why suck up to US?
