Maybe Saddam was so calm at the gallows because he has spent his life around death: other people's. The Mail said he was 'submissive'. The Guardianistas said he was 'dignified' . ( Did they say Cauceausceau was ' dignified ' ? ) Others ask "was it a conspiracy? " ( Of course. It was a look-alike. He was whisked away to Conspiracy Land there to be met by Marilyn, Jimi, JFK and Diana....)
I didn't watch the unedited version because snuff movies are not my thing. Of course I was glad it was done. Who in their right mind wouldn't wish it had never been abandoned over here and the likes of Ian Bradey, Myra Hindley and Ian Huntley could have faced the same justice?
Meanwhile Human Rights groups are lamenting the lack of due process and no doubt wish he had been served with an asbo.
And the BBC is in its third day of mourning for Saddam. (I don't remember them lamenting the death of Ceauceausceau either.) Who needs Al Jazeerah?

Of course Ceausescu was dignified; don't you remember him saying"not the face", and "after this we're even Stevens"?
Must have been a face saving excercise. Thanks for the spell-check! Ceau.....
Of course it was very gory and udignified. We must put our emotions of sorrow to one side and be glad this was done. George Bush is a shining example. Blair should leave the pop stars to wallow in their own filth, and back Bush from the heart. As for the ridiculous complaints about the mobile phone video, and the jibes and taunting, these people need to get into the real world. Saddam lived by the sword and he died by the sword, exactly as Jesus warned us!
Amen Bret!
