Had been posting these in Random thinking it was just a isolated event.Did not expect to be reading about this everyweek

CAIRO, Egypt - The boys' deaths _ scattered in the United States, in Yemen, in Turkey and elsewhere in seemingly isolated horror _ had one thing in common: They hanged themselves after watching televised images of Saddam Hussein's execution.

Officials and relatives say the children appeared to be mimicking the former dictator's Dec. 30 hanging, shown both on a sanitized Iraqi government tape and explicit clandestine videos that popped up on Web sites and some TV channels.

what is going on.

Even in death, Saddam can still kill people? I wonder how justice is served.. Saddam is really happy for those who follow him and now the kids can enjoy loving all the virgins up there..

 

[PhoenixNEW]

I feel sorry for Saddam's Parental negligence as they failed to teach about civility.

 

[PhoenixNEW]

I feel the world is bit lighter now. Kudos
