    Saddam is the dead!!

    Breaking news...

    'Iraqi TV said the execution took place just before 0600 local time (0300GMT). It was witnessed by a doctor, lawyer and officials. It was also filmed.'

    Filmed! Now thats an episode of 'You've Been Hanged' I want to see.

    He'll never find out what happens in Lost now.

    All the news websites I've checked out have it as headlines(obviously):bbc,cnn,sky news. Iraq will still be screwed for the foreseeable future though, I can't see this making much impact at all really. Will probably make thing worse in the short term.

    Indeed, can't see it making any difference for the better at all. Without doubt there will be even more violence and fighting than normal for a time now.

    To be honest, hanging was to good for him anyway.

    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    Good riddance. Seems odd the hanging wasn't broadcast nor in public, like previous executions though.

    Killed only to be forgotten...

    They'll have to broadcast nis death everyday forever if they don't want people to forget.

    I still think it'd have been more fitting to have thrown him in prison for the rest of his life and then he could have been trialled for other crimes until his death.

    He'd died without dignity and a VERY old and useless man...

    it won't be forgotten for a while i think, as i believe there will be many problems in Iraq due to his execution, so it will be remembered for that, but after a while, yes, it will be forgotten. also my cousin is going out to the middle east in 2 weeks for his first army assignment thing...so thats going to be more worrying if theres riots going on due to saddam being executed!

    Things will never really change though. They never do in extremist countries.

    sad that the backlash is going to be on the troops out there as Tony tucks into another slice of turkey.

    No, the backlash will be born by 1000's ordinary iraqi civilians who continue to be the worst hit by the civil war/power vacuum. Far better to have kept him in prison forever, capital punishment is incompatible with a civilised regime.

    Hardly gives the impression of a new, improved Iraq does it? Executing their former leader just days after his trial, in a dingy jail with men in balaclavas and leather jackets as the hangmen.
