The responses are simply frightening.

but about the desi responses - self-serving pussilanimy - to the event.

The Desi-yankees have internalized this callous attitude where their own faults appear to them as naturally ordained virtues

Pan Pot:

The majority of responses expressed various degrees of sadness and revulsion to the execution, war, and occupation. Now I can see how you could view my response is frightening (pro-war), cowardly (not serving), and self-serving (I own XOM and HAL), but what exactly is your objection to the majority?

Why, you want some education in language now? You cannot stop the likes of Hari abusing the “fat” – and it is not just an exception. The Desi-yankees have internalized this callous attitude where their own faults appear to them as naturally ordained virtues. The problem with you is you are neither here nor there.

Whereas your response appears to be gibberish. Your point is what exactly?

Yehi to problem hai, bhai mere! Your training in the Universities of the US of A has endowed you with a supremely confident and self-righteous air to misread the other. Go back and see for yourself. The three poems are not about Saddam Hussain’s death but about the desi responses – self-serving pussilanimy – to the event.

Panini, anyone who has a different opinion than you either frightens you or depresses you. I personally can't believe that Saddam Hussein's death has inspired you to write no less than three poems about it! Here, watch this, you'll feel better.

There is something politely cowardly! Something definitely communal! The responses are simply frightening.

Thanks LK. Glad to know I’m not the only person living in the West to be (inexplicably) upset about this. Red Snapper said it best – no matter what your opinion this, you’ll feel morally grubby.

Hanging Saddam on the first day of Eid while George Bush slept (reported in the Hindustan Times) was and is unspeakable. I certainly see a strong element of racism in the manner and timing of this. I can't imagine any Muslim person condoning the timing of this execution.

I felt sad and outraged at the timing,

For all those saddened by the "racism" of the timing, the left-leaning NYTimes has some news that should make you feel happier:
