That is why they dwell in misery.

William ,   USA   (12.30.06)
The Americans feel your pain.
5. Does This Surprise Anyone?
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (12.30.06)
Palestinians are the home office for extreme views & support for anything, no matter how awful, that is anti-Israel, anti-Jewish generally, & anti-American. They have created a society that is sicker than the usual in Arab countries. Anyone who believes that there is a chance for peace is seriously deluding himself.
6. The butcher of Bahgdad is dead
Jay ,   Israel   (12.30.06)
I really do feel like driving to Gazza/ West bank and give out thousands of lollies. Good riddance to the butcher of Bahgdad.
7. Good Riddance to bad rubbish
megan ,   Israel   (12.30.06)
now about the dead turds last words, Palestine is Arab...so glad Israel got up his nose even to the last lol.... BTW, take note Israelis are NOT dancing in the streets,..after all we have better things to do SHABBAT SHALOM !!!!
8. Palis
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (12.30.06)
They danced in the streets, when 2900 innocent lives were snuffed out on 9/11, yet, they mourn for the man, who murdered thousands of innocent Iraqis, most of whom, I suspect, were Muslims. What a strange sense of morality.

Richard: you have a wonderful talented gift: I doubt there are many who scan talk from the arse end of their bodies. Do you whistle? Do you inhale before each sentence? Do tell

11. These people never seem to learn
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (12.30.06)
Do they honestly think Saddam cared for them? Saddam would have killed them also,if they had lived in Iraq. If Israel was not here today,they the Pals would be suffering a worse fate,because Saddam or somebody like him would have wped them out,most of them would not be around today to cry about long lines at check points When will they ever learn?

Hey Jo...what a marvelously elegant observation ! Do you always attack logic with scatology instead of reason ?
13. Saddam
Stuart ,   London UK   (12.30.06)
I am 60, I have supported the Israeli people in the fight against the PLO/Hamas all my life..it has taken the comments of "Megan" and the "dead turds comment" to make me reconsider my stance...poor sad sorry human being...
14. THIS IS THE FAITH OF THE ENNEMIES OF ISRAEL !

15. to #11 - What Palis?
Shlomi ,   Canada   (12.30.06)
there is a major flaw in your theory. If Israel was not here, the Palis would also not be here. They are an invention of the Arab Jew-haters to counter the Zionist dream.
16. Amongst Many Other Innocents Saddam Killed THOUSANDSof Kurds
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.30.06)
Bible, Genesis 4:10 And G-D said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground." May G-D have mercy on the many victims. www.guardian.co.uk Saddam defends killing of Kurds Agencies Monday September 11, 2006 Guardian Unlimited ...Speaking in court, at his trial for the genocide of between 50,000 and 180,000 people, the former dictator defended his policy of targeting Kurdish areas... Saddam and six co-defendants may face the death penalty if found guilty of the killings of tens of thousands of Kurds during the Anfal campaign, a massive military assault in northern Iraq in the 80s. Prosecutors allege that, during the offensive, the regime herded hundreds of thousands of Kurds into prison camps and killed thousands more with chemical weaponry. In the morning session, the court heard from a 56-year-old Kurdish-American woman, who told of seeing people sickened and dying during an alleged chemical attack carried out by Saddam's forces. Katreen Elias Mikhail, a former militia fighter, said four planes unleashed a wave of bombs on the town of Qalizewa on the evening of June 5 1987. "I smelled something dirty and strange," she told the court... "People were falling to the ground. They vomited and their eyes were blinded. We couldn't see anything." Sitting in the witness stand, she said that her friend Nashme told her "the whole town was hit with chemical weapons"... They said survivors plunged their faces into milk to end the pain from the blinding gas or fled into the hills on mules as military helicopters fired on them... http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,1869798,00.html
17. Now the Panistinians prostitute themselves out to Saddams bi
Michael ben Raphael ,   Tel Aviv   (12.30.06)
The Palestinians are traitors to their benefactors and to the Sunni's. when Saddam was in power they couldnt get enoupg of him, as soon as he is gone they prostitute themselves out to the dirty Shite iranians. Ahmadinejad will also go the same unatural death like Saddam, Hitler, and Haman. His people shall do the same to him.
18. to 13 Stuart
Michael Ben Raphael ,   Tel Aviv   (12.30.06)
Stuart, you say you have supported Israel all your life and after reading 2 comments you think you may change your mind. Thats fine, if it can be changed so easily it cant have been based on truth and real friendship. So please go now and support the Arabs, and after they offend you please dont come back to us.
19. They miss those $10K checks for killing Jews
Cynic ,   USA   (12.30.06)
20. Purportedly, Saddam's final words were, "Palestine is Arab."
Rich ,   USA   (12.30.06)
I thought his last words wereAllah Ak-k-k-! Not orginal but I thought it good.
21. Now eternity
Carol ,   Tampa USA   (12.30.06)
It is appointed unto man, once to die, and after that, the judgement. Do you really think that Saddam is concerned about politics now? He is in eternity and facing a righteous jugde, God Almighty! Do not fear him who is able to destroy the body, but fear Him who is able to cast both body and soul into hell. Only God has the power to do this! Do not die without reconciling yourself with God. Sin has separated us from God. The Messiah has made a way of escape. Seek Him while you can.
22. #17 and EVERYONE Eat your hearts out!
Mohammed ,   London   (12.30.06)
Saddam killed more than 10000 people along with the tens of thousands of people he led to poverty with the sanctions he brought upon the country, I cannot understand how anybody can support such a person? I witnessed my family being tortured to death one by one because my mother was with a rival party (RIP). And how can you talk about Ahmadinejad to get the same end? he is not a dictator! He has made Iran a beutiful country . The Shia Iranians are the majority of Iran and your rasism will not get you far in life.
23. He should rather have paidHangman $25K to keep his trap shut
Alan ,   SA   (12.30.06)
24. No. 19 Cynic
NYC Girl   (12.30.06)
Actually, it was $25,000. So they must miss him even more.
25. No. 13, Stuart
NYC Girl   (12.30.06)
You mean to tell us that Megan's reference to that monster, Saddam Hussein, as a "turd" has made you give up what you describe as your life-long support for Israel? Somehow I suspect that Israel will get along just fine without it.
26. compassion for family members
sandy ,   milwaukee/usa   (12.30.06)
No matter what your feelings are for Saddam's executation those who cheered in front of the cameras have no compassion for Saddams family and friends. Put yourself in their shoes today. Sandy

Jason ,   usa   (12.30.06)
1. i refuse to eat my heart beacuse.. its plain gross 2. "And how can you talk about Ahmadinejad to get the same end?" dose the holocaust denial ring a bell? he calls to destroy Israel over and over " he is not a dictator!" People that speak at him with a different Idea is a one-way-ticket to prison " He has made Iran a beutiful country " People living in Iran live in proverty (and its a huge amout) " The Shia Iranians are the majority of Iran" which WANTS to destory Israel , US and the UK(thats where YOU live) " and your rasism will not get you far in life. " People that defend Leaders that CALLS for a genocide is not considered a good plan
28. Ahmadinojab, I am waiting for you!
Saddam Hussein ,   Down Below   (12.30.06)
29. 16..Linda Whatever Saddam was done
Filiz   (12.30.06)
Doesn't change the fact of 650.000 deaths of Iraqians since Iraq invaded by USA. I am not supporting him for sure,but I can not understand the logic of his opponents are using.He was bad,murdered 148 of shiites,so many thousands of kurds etc.Is this a fair reason to invade a free country?Can we take this sample as a valid & fair reason to invade other countries,kill their innocents under the name of terrorist or dictator hunting?Saddam is death now,Is this will make deathes of last a few years alive?Will they have their daily lifes back?Before they did have national treasures,all stolen.Before they did have law now they have only terror& blood.Befoıre their children were able to go to the school.They can not now.Not only their bodies ,their land & history has been raped,stolen,tortured.Was this really only to make saddam arrested and executed?Shame on humanity.Shame on justice.Shame on world leaders they think an apology will heal the all the wounds. Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Weisel was once asked whether the world had learned anything from the Holocaust. Wiesel responded, "Yes - that you can get away with it."
30. #13 Stuart
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (12.30.06)
I guess you feel that Israel should be more respectful of a man that paid large sums of money to the families of Palestinian Suicide bombers, that murdered our civilians. Please forgive if I'm not exactly weeping into my Kleenex over the loss of that monster. May he rot in hell.
