But thats basically whats been happening ever since he was captured.

Either way , the truth is that Saddam has been a red herring ever since the Iraq army was found out to be nowhere near as powerful as he had claimed and everybody had guessed since the first gulf war.
Before that he was a real threat to his neighbours. After that the best he could manage was by bluffing to UN weapons inspectors about his weapons capabilities and by playing to the worlds suspicions about what he actually had.
His death won`t mean a thing.

I concur.
At 10 last night, on Fox News, they were displaying the hanging as "Breaking News".
This of course, is a bunch of shit.
After the United States, global policeman, captured him from Iraq, the world knew that he was basically non-existant from then on.
Even though I don't agree with the hanging, it technically was not done by the U.S., so it's not completely distasteful.
His death doesn't matter much though, he was either going to die in Iraq or rot in a United States federal prison for the rest of his life.

But that's pretty much the controversy of the death penalty, now isn't it?

littleknowitall 12-30-2006 06:02 PM

While your doubt makes sense, it is not that way in real life. Do a little research and you'd be surprised what inmates get to do.

I'm sorry, I forgot that in Iraq even if you're a prisoner you can do whatever and go wherever.

Theres an unedited version of the hanging I saw, the quality blows but it was recorded on a cell phone, then posted on the internet. Obviously everyone has the right attitude towards a mans death.

The only picture that is actually horrific is the one of the man chained to a wall abuot to be eaten by a croc.

All the rest are fine if you're like some sort of war lord or something. Nothing wrong with the rest of them.

Is it wrong to say I like his taste in art?

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-31-2006 12:56 AM

Wrong no

Tragic yes

DearJenny 12-31-2006 01:00 AM

^lol, I dunno. I like the colors. Especially that one iwth the girls face and the fireflies(or whatever they are). What does everyone see that makes them bad?

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-31-2006 01:03 AM

Well there`s all the rather disturbing homo erotic imagery.

And i`m pretty sure there`s a subtext to all those big long snakes , almost as if he`s lacking in some department.

They look like they should be on the cover to terrible third-rate scifi/adventure/romance novels.

did you not see the one with the archer about to shoot the woman???

Trauma 12-31-2006 01:29 AM

Raine only said that picture was wrong because then she couldn't have sex with the guy after he got eaten.

Don't be fooled.


Raine is pro death, pro naked man.

I saw it and then I've seen worse. none of those pictures compare to a photo done by keff wall that was on display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art a few years ago.

I thought the picture was rather barbaric. And my sexual urges have been sated in full thank you very much. :p:

*wonders how a thread about the execution of a man, can turn into an autoerotic dialogue about crap art*

littleknowitall 12-31-2006 06:08 AM

One of my philosophy lessons consisted of having to compare the work of saddams artist to that of michael angelo where i had to answer this question of why his art was bad (i dont remember why we were asked this question) but basically what i came up with that made it for me hidious artwork.

- the colours are like a neon rainbow of puke, terribly tacky and vile to look at.
- the underlying immagery, the homo- eroticism as urban was saying and such, snakes representing things, missiles in other paintings not shown,
- in comparison with michael angelo and other artists we used looking at it its actually quite cruedly drawn...
- there's not very much depth at all to these pictures, point two is about as far as they go.

i think overall you need a strong stomach to collect this sort of painting.
