For me..
I was supposedto be celebrating that day because it was Eid..but when I saw the execution..I felt sad..angry..and confused.
I was sad to see a human being hanged...
angry because he was hanged on a day that Muslims were celebrating..
and confused..well...the US is there in Iraq to teach the Iraqi people about freedom , democracy,and the American values,etc..isn't it? ..but hanging a man like that and showing it to the world(even kids saw that) ..made me think..is that freedom?is that democracy?..maybe I should educate myself more about the US definitions of these two words.
By saying this I never justify what Sadam did..but it was the first time I saw someone hanged..and I wish I didn't.
