Saadam vs the media

Saddam Hussein was in the news for over a year. The western media made if very possible to show us that Hussein was a tyrant. Over the last months that Hussein was alive all we saw in the media was coverage of his court days and how he was being distraught at the judge. In some news channel Hussein was a hero in other he was a devil. Although I am not in any of the two sides but one usually believes that media is the most convincing idea to all humans. I am not a big fan of the media and I always try to read more into everything before actually believing any stories or topics. In the united states before any execution there are sufficient evidence brought on to the supreme courts and the actual media. In Hussein’s trial there was none of the above. All we saw were videos of him being brutal, although in many other cases of executions there we able to have the trial in there own countries with this main guy, the US wanted it to be in there home ground because that’s how they know it would be over, he would be dead! I believe many things in this actual topic are wrong due to several of reasons. Saddam Hussein, the former tyrant, became another one of history's ghosts when he was hanged on December 29, 2006 for ordering the execution of 148 Shia men and boys. His death marked the end of several chapters of history, from the all the Bush’s family. Saddam Hussein unfortunately was another one of the US’s targets. Saddam's hanging also marked a first: the first execution made public by virtue of the World Wide Web. Within hours of his execution, a camera phone vidoe appeared on hundreds of internet sites, making it quite possibly the most watched execution in history. How sad? You know what was the most shocking part is that they couldn’t ban it from any were it was all over and the illiterate Americans did not even let him finish prayers they killed him while he was reciting his prayers. Respect is missing and I was kind of glad that people around the world were able to witness how disrespectful the government was. Media has its negative and positive signs but most all of the media is seducing and playing around with a lot of people’s opinions and goals. Saadam Hussein was a leader, a politician that did not allow any one to mess with his country I respect him for that now-a-days you see a lot of leaders all over the world getting whipped by America because they are scared. But Saadam didn’t allow that and he was willing to die for his country, although he killed many innocent people im sure it was all for his country and people. YES, he deserved to die but not that way killing someone makes it all go away, but punishing someone is revenge. The US needs to have laws for its media and so what? If it’s a free country that does not mean they do what they are doing now. FALSE INFORMATION. VERY BIAS AND SELF CENTERED. It has to stop I believe the Saadam Hussein story should have been a wake up call to the whole world.
