It looks like at least one other kid, about the same age, did the same thing.

If they sent him to prison this wouldn't have happened.

You're right, but only to the extent that they wouldn't have hanged (hung?) ['Tis "hanged"] themselves. They would have most likely coppied something else they saw.

If they put Saddam in prision, he would still be alive (the hundreds of thousands of people he killed, however, would all be dead). What's the point of keeping someTHING like Saddam alive? That's a huge waste of money, space, and even oxygen.

If you are so stupid that you will take your own life you should die.

Yeah but they could've made the money back by making a petting zoo.

No, but seriously it's the idiotic parents fault. I would never do something like that, because my parents raised me with common sense.

I don't know whether to laugh or be amazed at their stupidity. Probably both.

I think that they should've put Saddam in a hardcore (when i say hardcore, i mean there's at least 20 killers and gangmembers there) jail. Either way he would've died.

Uhm, what would happen? They'd MAGICALLY have access to weapons to kill him? Guards to jails don't stand by and let people kill each other.

But that's seriously messed up...people are stupid.

Ever heard of fists? Enough people punch you, you die. But yeah, what those kids did is really idiotic.

The guards can't stop everything though. And with Saddam, they might not want to. But anyways, let's stop going offtopic.

I don't see why the United States wasn't allowed to execute him. If we had been, he would have been given the lethal injection. Then his death wouldn't have been so publicized. And it's not like little kids in Iraq have containers of lethal drugs to play with.

Idon't think the US should have been allowed to execute him, if anything it would have created [o]more[/i] hate towards your country... at least letting the Iraqi people execute him wouldn't make more people hate us westerners... it was right the Iraqi's trialled, sentenced and punished him.

I don't think the US really had any power over Saddam's death, He was just here for the trial. Back on topic. What idiot would try to mimic a hanging? These kids were both stupid, and their parents should pay more attention to them.

Of course the US had power. George Bush would be all like "IM IN UR LEGAL SYSTEM, KILLIN SADDAM HOW I WANT," and that's how it would happen. Publicly, it'd be a "recommendation," but it'd be more than that between the PM of Iraq and GW.
