The Hanging Scene
AP: Saddam Hussein Executed for War Crimes
Saddam Hussein, the shotgun-waving dictator who ruled Iraq with a remorseless brutality for a quarter-century and was driven from power by a U.S.-led war that left his country in shambles, was taken to the gallows clutching a Quran and hanged Saturday.
In Baghdad’s Shiite enclave of Sadr City, people danced in the streets while others fired guns in the air to celebrate the former dictator’s death. The government did not impose a round-the-clock curfew as it did last month when Saddam was convicted to thwart any surge in retaliatory violence.
President Bush called Saddam’s execution “the kind of justice he denied the victims of his brutal regime.”
And Hot Air has a reminder of Saddam and his nefarious acts here.
