#1 What less would you expect from the "Religion of Pieces"? The kid is growing up in a death cult, no wonder he would emulate his hero Saddam.

#2 I agree that this is a tragedy, but the fault lies entirely with the Muslim media and mindset that no Muslim can do no wrong, and thus decided to puff a megamurderer, extolling manufactured virtues while covering up his manifest evil.

This boy was doing what boys have done from before the dawn of human history to become men: admiring and emulating those whose his society has held up a paragons of courage and heroism. This poor child was misled and mis-served by those who were responsible for him, starting with his parents and on up.

Doubltess, this child's soul is now playing in some delightful field of Heaven. Elsewhere in Heaven, some memos are being written in the Book of the Living under the names of those truly responsible for his being mislead. Probably something like moving them into a corner of hell where the thermostat is set several thousand degrees higher...

#3 Question, was the boy simply duplicating a hanging on TV that happened to be Saddam's or was the boy duplicating the hanging of some kind of hero or whatever? It's a fine point but I think an important one seeing as this kid was not even Iraqi.

#4 I don't think Sammy "hanged himself", but that's a quibble, I suppose.

Young & dumb.

#5 Why was a nine year old allowed to watch such a video anyway?
Sheesh, must have been G rated?

#7 Wasn't there an episode of MacGyver that prompted a few kids to emulate the faux hanging ?
MacGyver used some technique to escape from the noose IIRC.
I think TV writers are more aware now of how certain children will play act some quite dangerous scenarios

#8 " The father of the deceased boy said that his children had been watching the video of Saddam Hussein's execution"

Poor Kid, Stupid parents.

#9 Ptah: Doubltess, this child's soul is now playing in some delightful field of Heaven.

Unless the Koran really is the word of God in which case he is being eternally raped as a reward for some jihadi; Mohamed Atta, say.

Seriously, you cannot make this stuff up.

#10 Al Jazeera apparently has been playing videos and stills taken by those present at the hanging.

#12 He's a nine year old kid. He's growing up in a very unfortunate place, and into an exteremely unfortunate religion/cult, but he's a little kid, dammit.

Yes, he's a nine year old kid. And by the time he was nine years old he'd had several years of indoctrination into Islam and all its warm Islamic goodness. By the time he was nine, he was a lost cause.

So, the yellow commenter was spot on, and you are out of line. BTW, isn't light blue the color Robin used?
