So... what do you guys think?EN - 12-30-2006 at 08:56 AM
that it's wonderfully ironic that the current US administration tried to Westernize Iraq to the extent that they did, and are still fine with the
Iraqi goverment choosing hanging as a capital punishment.minimandy14 - 12-30-2006 at 12:41 PM
YOu know I was thinking the exact same thing this morning EN when I found out that he was hanged and not like I dunno, leathaly injected or something.

I think that they should have just let him lived and rot in a cell!!! Death among someone, no matter what they did, is just un-american!! If this
makes no sence, sorry, I'm very drunk right now!! poobs - 12-31-2006 at 06:50 PM

How is that ironic? We still use hanging as a form of execution in some states in the US..Now if they had burned him at the stake or something, that
would have been "ironic", I guess..But not really..EN - 1-1-2007 at 09:09 AM
I found it ironic because of certain western standards both written and unwritten and the level of sophistication that they imply in matters of
human rights when related to warfare,and the United States Administration, leading of one of the largest western countries, is expected ,it seems, by
a large amount of people to abide by those laws. Though perhaps you're right, and I shouldn't have found it as ironic as I initially did, given the
current track record when concerning abiding the Geneva Convention and other standards.idreamptofUmbrella - 1-2-2007 at 12:14 AM
i think forced democracy is an irony far greater than anything i could ever imagine.corkey16 - 1-2-2007 at 08:49 PM
And now they keep showing the video of him being hung on CNN! Something I didn't want to see!minimandy14 - 1-2-2007 at 10:18 PM
I think it's funny how someone "illegally" filmed it with a cell phone and it "leaked" onto the internet, THAT I think was a set up, so people knew he
was dead . . . .idreamptofUmbrella - 1-3-2007 at 12:02 AM
