Yes, the photographs and videos of the dead bodies of Saddam's sons are out. What we have now is a raging hypocrisy on the part of America. Back in the "war," Iraqis aired pictures of our dead soldiers, and we protested of the action, of course - although now we have our own pictures, aired on an even greater scale. Some Iraqis wanted proof of their death - but did we really have to upset much of the Arab world in showing them?
http://slate.msn.com/id/2086023/ - "The military claims that the publication of Odai's and Qusai's photos was necessary in order to prove to the Iraqi public that the pair were dead. But as Explainer noted in March, the Geneva Convention prohibits the public airing of pictures that might humiliate a combatant—the same justification the United States used to object to broadcasting interrogations of American POWs"

Iraq, conventional-military-wise, yes. If the Iraqi situation was over, however, then soldiers and civilians wouldn't continue to be having their lives taken away. The moment silence rules over is the moment when others seize power, broken free of the restraint of opinion. Hey, it's a human world.
As for the pictures, it can be easily seen as a shining trophy held highly by America. Surely, we need to show what we accomplished over there (you know how world opinions go), but to broadcast it because of a few people questioning the claim of the Hussein sons' deaths, spurring even more anti-American views in the Arab world? Saddam and his sons committed too many acts that are sickening on a moral scale, yet we now parade the bodies of dead, mutilated (and reconstructed) humans.

Horrible characters, but human beings. I don't suggest honor, but decency. If someone wants to see the image, show it to them. If someone doesn't, don't. Appeasement is not what I call on for this situation, either. We are far from it, too - our "war on terrorism" is still in full effect, that is, we aren't sitting around in idleness anymore. Imagine a native person in the Middle East, living their life peacefully, seeing the images on a television somewhere - another reason to have an anti-America feeling, because America invaded their life with an untraditional act with a gruesome bringing. They didn't ask it - maybe they did believe us the first time.

I don't think English classes can help me with that one.
Another human instinct is to love. However, that's now ushered into talentless songs on the radio and not many people can show their emotions in public anymore. America does have to take a stern stance on terrorism, but it shouldn't forget kindness. I know, we saved Iraqis galore, but that doesn't justify everything else. If terrorist acts can be committed in the name of Hussein, then surely they can be enacted out of revenge. And no, I would never want to see that happen.

This kinda stuff doesn't affect them as much as you and I. The Arab world is pretty used to violence and dead bodies.
I'm sure the Iraqis tormented by these two don't mind either.
God is the "0wnage". Plain and Simple.

And our hailed display of dead bodies really makes it better. We're already out to cease the spread of destruction and death as birthed through terrorists, whether they're humiliated (and in a bout of possibility enraged) or not.

Nodbugger: don't know how you couldnt inturpret what i said. I mixed this with there up....maybe you should take more english classes.

Ok. "don't know how you coulnt inturpret what i said." This first sentence is a fragment, lacking a direct object. "Couldnt" and "inturpret" are spelled in an incorrect manner, and "I" is not capitalized. "I mixed this with there up..." cannot have its meaning be deciphered by me. "...maybe you should take more english classes." In this last part, you only did one thing wrong, leaving "English" uncapitalized.
