At last... it's all over. Christmas, New Year and all the trimmings is over and we can go back to some sort of normality!!
I have been missing updating in here but time was really a huge missing factor during the Christmas break. It still is but I had to come and write today about something that is particularly bothering me!!
I was up early last Saturday morning (about 8am) and put the tele on Sky News to see what was going in the world. And the Breaking News I was looking at was that Saddam Hussein had been hanged during the night. I was quite shocked it had happened so quickly but I wasn't very sad about it. The man was evil and I had no feelings whatsoever for the guy. I am against the death penalty and I think it is essential for a civilised country to have a law against such punishment as it is barbaric (however the death penalty is inflicted: hanging, electric chair, injection...). But Iraq does carry out death penalties and it is their choice and their law...nothing to do with me..I ain't judging!!!

So there I was watching the news and the presenter says that just in they had images of the execution and they were about to show us, reassuring that the very final moment will not be shown (Well jee...thanks!!) So I watched Saddam, dressed in his black overcoat (I wonder if it was cashmere!) listening carefully to the man in his balaclava who was apparently explaining to him how the execution was gonna take place and maybe how it was gonna feel like!! That was pretty chilling! Then someone put a scarf around his neck and the noose came afterwards. I was froze as I watched the historical event and felt almost sick.
Was it ok to show it on television? I am not sure but now it is a bit too late to take it all back!
After the execution there were bombs and cheers and scandalised people and happy people and everyone had an opinion on the matter. And there was the fact on everyone lips:
Let's hope Saddam will not become a martyr! Well yeah that would be quite awful if he did since the guy murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
So I was shocked to see yesterday...on Sky News again... an interview of an American Army Nurse who looked after Saddam during his last months on the planet. And there he was telling everyone how normal guy Saddam really was and that he listened to Saddam telling how he used to read bed time stories to his daughter when she was young, showing pictures of Saddam on the beach surrounded with his young kids, a very happy and dotting dad he was.... WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT!!!!
Why are the British media stupid enough to run such story. You don't want Saddam to become a martyr but you run stories like this where morons with half a brain will go :Awww... he wasn't so bad!! Maybe he should have been left alone.
Media have got such a huge responsibility towards what is going on in the world but despite this, despite the fact that soon hundreds of weirdos will strap bombs around their chest and blow up markets or tube stations, they still show Saddam at his best and even wonder
NOW if showing the execution on tele was such a good idea!!!!
FOR FUCK SAKE PEOPLE OF THE MEDIA... THINK!!!! just Think before you do stupid things like this!!
I am taking a plane to New York soon and I dont wanna blow up because a cretin saw your reports on tele and decided to take revenge! BUNCH OF MORONS!!!
That's all for today
Happy new year to you all

aaaaah it's goo to be back!!
