Saddam to hang

Bush isn't any less deserving of it. Saddam deserves life sentence not death. Its true, he betrayed the people of Iraq, but the US was not neutral from it. If they cared so much about the people of Iraq, why give Saddam the weapons in the first place? Hypocrisy? Duh!
 
i feeeeeeeeeeel for da guy man, seriously he shudnt be hanged, hes sentenced to death for things he did YEEEEEEEARS ago
 
If Saddam is going to be hanged for killing innocents, then u might as well add more people to the list. He isnt the only one. Bush just tops the list.

"During the early years of the war, Iraq's arsenal was almost entirely american made."

"Victims of Iraq's poison gas attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja in Iraq. Iraq dropped the poison gas during the Iran-Iraq war in 1988. Then held by Iranian troops and Iraqi Kurdish guerrillas allied with Tehran.[34] According to Iraq's report to the UN, the know-how and material for developing chemical weapons were obtained from firms in such countries as: the United States, West Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the People's Republic of China.[35]"
 
Would you feel sorry for anyone that raped your sister or killed your dad?
I dont think so

So would you feel sorry for Saddam when he did that (and ordered others to do the same thing) to other people?

Yea there are a lot more people out there who deserve capital punishment. But we are talking about Saddam. He will be hanged in Iraq, by the Iraqis...(and do i dare say) for the Iraqis.

My personal preference would of been to hand him and his entire family over to the Kurds.

:w:
 
It is my understanding it is an Iraqi court. To be honest if tried in a US court I do not believe he would have faced any capital offense charges for crimes committed in the US. I doubt very much that of any charges against the US he may have been found guilty of, that a jury would agree to the death penalty.

He also would have had a good chance of a dismissal on the grounds of insufficient evidence for any crimes he was accused of.
 
Somehow i doubt that very much. He was a guilty man even before he stepped into the courtroom. If ever the media conducted a trial, this was it.

I stated if he was tried in a US court. Any crimes committed against the People of Iraq would have not been admissable as they were not crimes committed in the US.

True an international court probably would have had the same out come as the Iraqi court.

Saddam used Soviet tanks, Soviet trucks, Soviet rifles, Soviet machine guns, Soviet artillery, Soviet mortars.

Perhaps you can find for us a weapon of Saddam’s supplied by the UK or the US!

My mistake I suppose, I couldve sworn that said Iraq.

Anyway, the US supplised iraq 200 millions worth in helicopters and poison gas

"According to the Washington Post, the CIA began in 1984 secretly to give Iraq intelligence that Iraq used to "calibrate" its mustard gas attacks on Iranian troops. In August, the CIA establishes a direct Washington-Baghdad intelligence link, and for 18 months, starting in early 1985, the CIA provided Iraq with "data from sensitive U.S. "
