This is the third hanging attributed to the execution of Saddam.

Kolkata, India - A 15-year-old girl from eastern India hanged herself in response to the execution of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, police and family members said on Thursday.

"She said they had hanged a patriot. We didn't take her seriously when she told us that she wanted to feel the pain Saddam did during the execution," the girl's father, Manmohan Karmakar, told AFP by phone from the town of Kharda.

Now we have a rash of people dying either in protest, or mimicing of the hanging of Saddam.
Surealistic.

Reality is subjective.  It's real enough to those who actually care about it.

Many, if not most people believe blindly in what they have been taught growing up. What they have seen, heard and told from the community, is reality and truth to them. As many muslims (in extremist groups) live under the illusion that Jihad and extermination of the great Satan from the West is the truth and the right thing to do, so do we also live under the illusion that our Western culture, law and civilisation is the only correct and allowed way of living.

The peoples level of reaction is almost directly comparable to the "extremity" of the subculture (aka branch of). "Sympathy-suicides" are something that also happen in the western culture. It only takes e.g. a dead rockstar. For muslim extremists, the rockstar was Saddam.

In America, it's not sympathy suicides, its more like curiosity suicides.
