THE WILLIAM WALLACE TREATMENT WOULD HAVE LET EVERYONE PARTICIPATE...:
Saddam Hussein Execution: A Sectarian Lynching (Patrick Martin, 04 January 2007, World Socialist Web)
A video of the final minutes of Saddam Hussein, released to the Arab media late Saturday and widely broadcast around the world, demonstrates that the execution of the former Iraqi president was an act of sectarian vengeance by the Shiite Muslim groups placed in power by the US invasion of the country.
The one sad part is that the Kurds didn't get to lynch him too. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 4, 2007 12:05 AM
I eagerly await Comrade Martin's column lamenting what his communist forebears did to Signor Mussolini.
Posted by: Jim in Chicago at January 4, 2007 1:05 AMGosh, it took all of three years to "lynch" the dude.
(Got to be an all-time record. Couldn't find a rope, I guess. Or a tree.)

puhleeese! Grow up jackarse. He was commiting his worst atrocities when we supported him. Oh, I'm sorry...you're just a two bit propagandist. You aren't paid to think lol. Gotta get 'em all riled up!
Posted by: right wing extremist at January 4, 2007 1:29 PMCertainly we should have lynched him when we found him. We owed Iraq that much. But the need to believe that you are responsible for Saddam is a mental condition, not reality.
Posted by: oj at January 4, 2007 1:48 PMIs he equating those innocent Blacks guilty of mass murder? The lynched victims were not tried in a court of law, they were hanged because of their skin color. The most favored dictator murdered hundreds of thousands of people. No one, not even the dictator himself, denied that. He was tried in open court, televised around the world. The court was set up by a govt. elected by its people. The dictator was tried and hanged. His victims were not tried but shredded or buried alive or thrown acid baths. Hanging was too good for him, the liberal's favorite dictator of the day.
