This video shows why Iraq is a horrible country that has no hope of improving anytime soon. The hanging of Saddam Hussein is undeniably a significant event in human history - right? So how do the Iraqi people record this important event?

Cultural difference - it is not uncommon to see capital or corporal punishment in Arab countries - it is shown on the networks and/ or a public event. Horrible is neither here nor there - I personally think any capital punishment is horrible but I don't judge America by it

With a cheap camcorder shot by some jerk who could not hold the camera steady to save his life!

Clandestine filming. Probably on a mobile phone that he was trying to conceal. Are you complaining that you aren't getting a good enough view of the lynching then?

I also love how the spectators are yelling and barking - what class! It was not a "hanging" it was a "lynching". How pathetic.

They were there, it is their country and their idea of justice. You are the one circulating this for - what reason? - morbid curiousity value? titillation? unable to get tickets to your local execution?
Damn, if only there had been people with mobiles at the one where his half-brother's head popped off, right?

As long as they film the monkey deaths for us to circulate.
