My palms are sweaty. I have sat silently in this chair for the last 25

minutes. Contemplating if I should hit the play button. Hands are cold.

Heart is racing. I have watched numerous products of such nature but

this is the first time I can't bring myself to watch the actual thing. I

have never felt this scared. Is it fear? Or is it the morals and values

that are etched within me, that put a barrier around me to protect

me against such brutality? What am i talking about? The video clip of

Saddam's hanging. With the final moments and all inside. Once they

start reciting the prayers, i just keep hitting PAUSE. I just can't go

further coz I know what happens next. The reality of it seams surreal

and too painful to imagine. I can't do it. . I wanna watch it but I

just can't. At least not now.
