I don't have anything against democracy. I just don't think the make-up of the middle east allows for it. As long as there are 16th century minded religious fanatics willing to kill anyone who doesn't think like them there can never be a democracy. The only survivable style of goverment for the middle east is authoritarian or dictatoral. Anything else and you have an Iraq of today.
Lebanon is a democracy or should I say a confessionalism style of goverment. Look where that is at. The terrorist army is stronger and better equipped then the goverments army. There is a state within a state. The place is heading for another open civil war as we speak. The real pisser is that Israel has done more to ferment it with their joke assualt or whatever it was supposed to be because they totally underestimated the enemy (which seems to be a common occurance in today's world).
I could go on but I have to read the "Farm" book to my two year old granddaughter
I totally agree with bradclark1's statement regarding the middle east; when you have a hot bed of religion and fanaticism mixed together, there is no room for democracy.

For those who want to see a leaked video of the hanging here it is. The video quality is rather poor. Someone had posted this on another forum.

You are, evidently, not the only one.

Again, we will not be posting or linking to pictures or films of this event. Google them yourselves if you wish.

Last chance.

It's human curiosity. People will watch it then say "Oh, people shouldn't watch it it's so terrible." which just draws people like bee's to the honey pot so they can see just how terrible it is and say "people shouldn't watch it it's terrible" which draws even more people.
Or, a lot of people watch NASCAR in the hope of seeing a great wreck.
It's just human nature.
If your or my country televised executions that stations ratings would be the the highest in television history. People would say how terrible and ghoulish it was but you can bet your boots they'll be watching the next one too.
Human nature.

Yep it's like how they'll never stop rubbernecking at highway accidents.

....Im guilty for that....




Sadam's death came 20 or so years too late. Too bad the SOF dudes who found him hiding didn't pour some kerosene in the hole and "drop" a ciggerette....that man was sick.

The pathetic camera-man makes it look like a cheap B-movie.
