Humane?



I am slighly confused, reading todays news headlines about the Saddam Hussein hanging, and the subsequent protests from Sunni Arabs in Iraq (and all over the Middle East). The man was sentenced to death, hung, and is now dead, and now they are complaining that during the hanging process, it was not done in a humane manner? Their main complaint is that there were some people at the gallows tormenting the former Prime Sinister, and that he was rushed to execution (well they were Shites doing the hanging and they don't like him all that much). Do we even think Saddam cared or heard, was he expecting a luxurious, glorious, silent hanging, do you think he wanted to wait around on Iraqi death row?

The most popular presidential candidate is Barak Hussein Obama (think about that for a sec, what an incredible time to have that name)
  • also type in Obama in Microsoft Word - you will notice a name that is not recognized, and your first choice, upon spell check, is none other than "Osama" - Brilliant
