Saddam Hussein, the shotgun-waving dictator who ruled Iraq with a remorseless brutality for a quarter-century and was driven from power by a U.S.-led war that left his country in shambles, was taken to the gallows and executed Saturday, Iraqi state-run television reported.

Honestly, I will never understand why people would want to watch this. Regardless of who is being killed, I can't bring myself to want to watch someone else being executed.

It was like when the American tourist (I think it was) beheadings were floating around the internet, people sent me links to them, but I wouldn't watch something as gruesome as that. Mind you, Hussein's execution and a tourist having his head sawed off are a little different, but I think it's a bit too morbid to want to see either.

No offense, that's just my opinion.
