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?

Can we please send our soldiers home now? Let the monkeys run their own zoo!

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