?Bringing Saddam Hussein to justice will not end the violence in Iraq,? Bush continued, ?but it is an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain, and defend itself, and be an ally in the War on Terror.?

Bush, dream on.

The Vatican said the execution is "tragic and a reason for sadness." I can't wait for the video diaries of crying Saddam supporters on youtube.

Yes, a video was made.

Here's the beginning right before he was hanged.

does the blanket put around his neck prevent it from snapping instantly?

They didn't want him to have rope burn? 😛 I have no idea. But I have read reports that it was an instant death.

From the cameraman himself:

Ali says he followed Saddam up the gallows steps, escorted by two guards. He stood over the hole and filmed from close quarters as Saddam dropped through?from "me to you," he said, crouching down to show how he shot the scene. The distance, he said, was "about one meter," he said. "He died absolutely, he died instantly." Ali said Saddam's body twitched, "shaking, very shaking," but "no blood," he said, and "no spit." (Ali said he was not authorized to disclose the location, and did not give other details of the room.)

The neck is suppose to brake instantly resulting in a quick death. Depending on how good or bad the hangman is at math you could either hang there and strangle to death, or your head could be ripped clean off.

Sounds like the hangman knew his math in this one.

Just FYI, hanging doesn't result in an "instant" death. No death is instant except a well aimed bullet to the head. Breaking someones neck just paralyzes them, the brain still gets asphyxiated because there's no oxygenated blood flowing to the brain.
