hard to say really, a part of this country wanted for Uday and Quasy Hussein to have been killed, along with their father, and I doubt anyone will deny that fact. I think some people wanted the war to end, and just end, which they got to see signs of when they pulled down that big Saddam statue in Baghdad......for others that wasn't enough, they needed to know the evil that got us there in the first place could never cause any more problems for the rest of time.....Saddam, Uday and Quasay Hussein were evil, I also doubt anyone will deny that fact. To see them dead is to see the evil dead, those people who we know have done these bad things we now know are no longer a threat. I don't feel the point would've gotten through if they just said "The sons of Saddam Hussein are dead"......because throughout the course of the war we were given information that we never knew to be true or not (i.e. the announcement that during one of the initial bombarments that we hit the building containing Saddam and co.) Not to say I have no faith in the intelligence agencies of our nation, but to hear something and blindly follow it is one thing, but to see it is to know for a fact that it's true, and I think for some people it might provide some kind of comfort, moreso than to hear something but have no proof of. Though they might've been bad people, they were still people with dignity, which I think our government still tried to show even though they displayed the photos they did, because they didn't show and point out every wound on the body, they gave you a visual of each of their faces, that's it, which to me doesn't throw into their face that we won............normally I try to keep my political views kind of inwards, it normally causes unnecessary debate and sometimes confusion, but some things have to be talked about, this is going to be remembered just as well as the American Revolution 100 years from now, therefore I don't think it's anything I or anyone else should hide from. Anyway, if I confused anyone I'm sorry, wasn't my intent, the intent was to put a single viewpoint on the situation, whether you agree or not, we're all in it together.
I will now go back to my normal self, making bad timed jokes and saying things that make little sense, thanks for putting up with my lone serious moment of the year, adios :wink:
