Why do you have so much sympathy for Saddam?
The guy was an out of his gord religious fanatic megalomaniac who has been estimated to have butchered over a million people.
I'd hang my own mother if she had committed the same atrocities as him.
Now, the commercial edited into the video for a product that makes your skateboard spark on the pavement. That's in poor taste.
It has nothing to do with sympathy really, just empathy for people in general. I'm not saying I feel sorry for the guy really. What I'm saying is that it's a shame anyway, and that's also reverse to the fact that instead of Saddam the evil ruler, we could be talking about Saddam the peacebringer, the uniter of the middle-east, if you know, he led a completely different life.
What I'm saying is I can't delight in anyone's death. Shame it all came to this, that's all I'm saying.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
