Thread: still waiting for the increase in violence

So where is this huge wave of sectarian violence that was supposed to happen if Saddam's sentence of death by hanging was caried out?

"Sunnis in Iraq took to the streets in mainly peaceful demonstrations across the country."
Saddam Execution Video Draws Criticism - Newsday.com


That all I could find on the AP.

Its a bit ironic they had "peaceful demonstrations" over the
death of a man who would never have tolerated them.

While our media was predicting an increase in violence, The Iraqi media was airing people celebrating in the streets. I am not sure if I agree with dancing to the tune of an exicution but I didn't have decades of this bastard murdering my countrymen, so who am I to judge.
Born to kill, Iraqis will be Iraqis.......SSG.........OUT

So if what you say is true then the American media are a bunch of liars because they are not showing the true news on television right now. We should be seeing dancing in the streets big time. Media bias.

looks like what ssg iceman is very true, link from sky news

Sky News In Pictures: Putting the news in focus

the link shows a range or reactions but it does seem by that the the majority are happy rather than angry.

If Bush mispronounces a word we see it repeated over and over in the media for days. If the Iraqis dance in the streets at Saddams hanging we see a still shot on an obscure news website.

Blah blah blah, obscure only to you. Sky news is equal to the BBC over here.

This is my regular news source and im just showing that it showed both sides.

I asked whether America would get the news, not England.

true, but what i posted.. was it a direct reply to you... no

But it all makes my point: If it was violence in the streets no matter how small, it will air on USA news 24/7. If it is good news about Iraqis it is virtually ignored. Yes the US media has an agenda.
