I wonder what the jubilant headlines will read if/when it happens- likely be huge pics of Saddam dangling there with "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" or "WE GOT HIM" emblazoned in 30 point type, should be a totally ironic spectacle for sure
Interesting take on that, too, Tamarin, tho I think Stevie might want one of them Saddam pistols or something and Dubya would likely refuse if we did something wacky like that...
In all seriousness,tho, he really did get a sham trial- the event that they "busted" him on actually took place during the Iran-Iraq war, no?? I thought it was an incident from 1982... no matter, no doubt he is/was a BAD man, miscarrying justice in the manner it has been done in his case doesn't fix ANYTHING and I think crowds of YEE HAWING folks urinating on pictures of a dead man who had NOTHING to DO WITH THEM will be a truly shameful deal...
I'm waiting for the Franklin Mint's "Dangling Dictator" desk sculpture tho, for sheer black humour related reasons
And to shut anyone who might be waiting to pounce right up straight away, I would not applaud the execution of even such a shadowy super-villain as Dick Cheney. Incarceration, public humiliation/pantsing YES but killing his til he's dead is just barbaric, period
