I was sad when they hanged Saddam

My apologies are to the board, not to you, I hit the mouse, or something, my posts are getting broken up.

 

I'm not blaming the board, Curtis, I'm blaiming you.

Instead of saying, "Gee, tragic, I disagree and here's why," it's like someone pulled your string and you started whining about one word of the post.

Seriously. Outside. Trees, sunshine, fresh air. Consider it.

 

I doubt most people get as much fresh air as I do, TP.

Back on subject, "stupid" is a big word. It's a word that causes trouble. Perhaps you could admit that.

 

Tragic..

ok be honest, if I wouldve made a post that said I think its stupid for anyone to think Saddam shouldnt of been hanged... wouldnt you of gotten upset?

 

I personally think that it is stupid to think that Saddam Hussein shouldnt of been hanged.

 

I think it was horrible that the guy was taunting him while he was on the gallows. I think it's horrible that the P.C. ploice wouldn't let Sadaam get a Christian witness. I think it's horrible his last words indicate he wasn't saved.

 

I didnt watch any of it, what were his last words? and what do you mean by a Christian witness?

 

I would have disagreed.

The statemenr you make above, and the one I made in the post which caused Curtis so much emotional turmoil, is a general one. "It's stupid" is far different than "you're stupid."

 

I didn't watch it, I got a transcript from a link here. His last words indicated his God had Muhammed for a messenger. And I meant for a missionary, or minister to talk with him, you know, a soldier or somone to tell him of Christ.

 

He was repeating words from the Koran.

 

Does that make a difference ?

 

I can't help, I agree with you.

 

Are you referring to my post about the Koran?

 

Saddam Hussein died while reciting the Shahada, which is the Muslim statement of faith: I testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messanger of God. Saddam was a Sunni Muslim. Saddam didn't get a Christian witness because his executioners were also Muslim, Shiites. Many Muslims consider changing from Islam to another religion to be apostasy.

 

What, there was hope of that before he was hanged? On what planet?

 

... and will forever be a martyr to a cause.

Better to let him fizzle out in a prison somewhere unpronounceable, like Pinochet.

But lust for revenge must be sated, I suppose... although it never, ever, is...

 

oh please, it isnt revenge, now you are making him sound like a martyr yourself. Letting him live just keeps the memory of him alive and encourages others to follow his footsteps. In the old testament there were people put to death and that wasnt revenge.
