Funny enough, but a rope that thick and depending on the tension and the strength of the overlapping board, his neck likely snapped in at least 2 places rendering almost instantaneous death.

ehowa.com has un-edited footage of saddam's execution for those of you with cast iron stomaches.

We have  people over there, who by this mishandling of strategic events are now in more danger, than ever, its nothing but a group of competetive tribes, now being aided by thier neighbors, who are interfering with our efforts to bring stability to this region. I hate to bring a political discussion to this board,  and Im only commenting once, there is a potential for further escalation, we are on the verge of the unkown, and nothing should be funny at this point because it never seems to be over in the middle-east, even when the fat man swings.

. . . I got a Saddam T-Shirt. It's a little tight around the neck but hangs well.
