you claim to believe in God. so if God created the world, then God must have created monsters...

which brings me to my next question... why did God create Satan?

also, why did God allow Saddam to exist?

man, Junior...you cannot even find an online Bible... you are really a lost soul!

A fallen angel...rebelled against God.God did not create him bad, he bacame so later.

All people are less than perfect. its just a matter of degree.
The earth and people living on it are affected by the fall. Evil entered through the wrong choices of mankind...not the fault of God.

if you're saying God should have programmed people to be obedient robots, then you're denying the concept of sacred free will. freedom to make choices.

how is this God's fault?

people are raised in poverty and disadvantaged due to the evil or neglect of other people. People are affected by the evil of others.
perhaps this and many other problems would be solved if people chose to obey God's commandments rather than being greedy and selfish?

..and yes, I have done voluntary work to help educate orphans

"DEARBORN, Mich. - Dozens of Iraqi-Americans gathered late Friday at a Detroit-area mosque to celebrate reports that Saddam Hussein had been executed, cheering and crying as drivers honked horns in jubilation.

Dave Alwatan wore an Iraqi flag around his shoulders and flashed a peace sign to everyone he passed at the Karbalaa Islamic Educational Center in this suburb of Detroit, a city that has one of the nation's largest concentrations of people with roots in the Middle East."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16400751/

"The Iraqi prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, later urged Saddam's fellow Baathists to reconsider their tactics and join the political process.

"I urged followers of the ousted regime to reconsider their stance as the door is still open to anyone who has no innocent blood on his hands, to help in rebuilding an Iraq for all Iraqis," he said.

In Sadr City, a Shia area of Baghdad, people danced in the streets while others fired guns in the air to celebrate the former leader's death.

Kurds also welcomed the hanging and the office of the Kurdish regional president, Massud Barzani, issued a statement saying: "We hope that Saddam Hussein's execution will open a new chapter among Iraqis and the end of using violence against civilians."

Violence in Iraq continued on Saturday after Saddam's death and at least 30 people were killed when a bomb exploded in a fish market south of Baghdad in the first. "

I'd rather have seen him live and rot in jail if other innocent people have to die on account of his death!

I don't normally like extreme language, recognizing that we live in a world of grays (and shades thereof!), one where "the truth" is often difficult, if not impossible, to establish.

However, I can offer DEFINITIVE, AIR-TIGHT PROOF that the man just tried and executed as "Saddam Hussein" was in fact someone else.

Here it is: http://www.vialls.com/iraq/vaudeville.html

with the picture(s) in question reproduced HERE:



And the beauty of it is this: ALL that you have to do is . . . LOOK AT THE PICTURES!

While recollecting everything you've ever heard about how remains are identified in the aftermath of a plane crash or other such catastophe.

(BTW, remember how Hitler is supposed to have been identified? From dental recoreds, right? Which is why you very likely believe that Hitler died in his bunker--right? So now, how about HUSSEIN's dental records???)

Teeth are as different as fingerprints.

Look at Saddam's teeth, as shown in the above link.

Now look at "Saddam"'s teeth.

Do you see the difference?

Do you understand that these ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITIVELY *CANNOT* be the same man?

Orwell was so, so right, so many years ago, about, well . . . the sheer BRAZENNESS of how we get lied to, and are expected to believe.

NOT SADDAM HUSSEIN, GUYS (AND GALS)! SPREAD THE WORD!

Of course many want a person who's done monstrously cruel things to pay for it ie: death penalty.

It seems not enough, but at the same time it's too much.

Yea, look at those teeth ...

obvious traces of molten metal ... must be steel ...


THERMITE!




I'm against the death penalty, but this guy deserved to die and I'm glad he's dead ... too bad his victims couldn't have got to him first.








For cleaner, brighter teeth, brush your teeth with THERMADENT!

Musta been the toothpaste.



I guess the Iraqi government better do a quick dental records match before the conspiracy nuts go wild again. 100 more pages on Dave's ...

RE: Toby

Check the ears that would be a good determinant for photo comparison.

I read The Big Pharoah's blog. This is what he has to say about the execution:

Who Executed Saddam?
The answer to this question really depends on who you are.

Iraqi Shias:
Saddam was executed by Iraqis. He got what he deserved. He paid for the crimes committed against Iraqis and Shias in particular.

Iraqi Kurds:
Saddam was executed by Iraqis. He got what he deserved. He paid for the crimes committed against Iraqis and Kurds in particular.

Iraqi Sunnis:
The Shias executed Saddam. No matter what we think about his reign, his removal removed us from Iraq.

Kuwaitis:
Saddam was executed by Iraqis. That was the best Eid gift ever.

All other Arabs and Muslims:
The Americans executed Saddam and they've done so during the first day of the Muslim feast to humiliate us and show our leaders what awaits them if they stood against the US.

The Big Pharaoh:
I don't give a hoot about who executed Saddam nor about Saddam himself. Tomorrow a Sunni suicide bomber will slam his explosives laden vehicle in a group of Shias killing 60 or 70 of them. The next day, 10 Shias will kidnap 20 Sunnis, beat them, drill holes in their knees, and then shoot them execution style. After all this, can someone please tell me why I should care about Saddam?

Kurds also believe the Shiites, in a way, executed him. He didn't go on trial for crimes committed against the Kurds. There is a fear by some Kurds, as well, that the Shiites will try to be too domineering. The Kurds, of course, can block that to some extent. Perhaps, one day the Sunni Kurds and Sunni Arabs, among the moderates, may get in an alliance with one another.
