Worldwide Deaths Over Saddam Tape
We could all see something like this happening, couldn’t we? The aftermath of the Saddam Hussein hanging has less to do with the death of a dictator and more with the moral dilemma around showing the images. Apparently, leaked footage of the hanging, which we couldall predict would be on YouTube in a few hours, has ‘inspired’ young boys worldwide into imitating what they saw. Perhaps their parents should have explained to them Saddam was a terrible man, resignated to a terrible fate. What they did to him was not a joke, but a way to permanently rid the world of him. Kids are going to see images like this, the only difference is this was real and not on Spongebob Squarepants.
