I too had to laugh at the business of flipping your flop --
or however you put it! You do have a way with words, my dear Justi!
Regarding the hanging business, I have been pondering, for some time, the concept of the death penalty as a form of punishment. For sure he deserved it. I like how it was carried out so quickly -- none of this waiting about on death row for 30 years. But still, I struggle with the whole concept and question whether any country should utilize it.

It has not been shown here. I have often thought of the terrors of having grown up in civil war situation from a child. How hard it would be. I am sorry you have done this. May you be blessed.

It's done now, and no sign of acknowledgment in the final minutes.
Ah well, I forced myself to watch the final few minutes on BBC's website as I felt it necessary to witness it somewhat being that I have especially ignored the whole Saddam history and goings on for as along as I could. I have always hated politics, as it has been such a source of confrontation & arguments since I was little.
Lets hope there is no other to follow in his footsteps or emulate his like.

I had to laugh at
"Flip your flop" If you do not mind I may include that in my vocabulary. As for Saddam, he deserves the punishment as does anyone else who kills fellow humans with no regard to the value of life

I agree wholeheartedly. That is the tenor or the region. That is their law, we do not hang people. One way he destroyed people was by gasing them and they lived in pain days just wandering around because he had torched their homes, they had no where to even go to die. I personally do not wish to extend him any mercy. Only God is big enough in my mind to extend mercy to such a man. Still I agree that hanging is barbaric. That is what we are saying these people; those of his ilk, are barbaric in their behavior like suicide bombing little children or whomever they can catch, not war just violence on themselves, us or anyone available.

I think hanging is barbaric, there are easier ways to get the job done.
