You know by looking at my rating I have half a brain I spend half my time laughing at the spelling, questions and ohhh God these answers, enough to know why American is in trouble. However, you are one of the true intelligent ones.  I will beat you are not American, are you?  I agree and if you want to hang Saddam for killing 300,000 Iraqi what do you want to do to someone who has killed 600,000 along with 2700+ Americans.\n\n"Retired Army War College prof. and CIA analyst (6 years) answers questions ranging from the gassing of the Kurds in Halabja [Iraq was not responsible, nor was it genocide by the Iranians], to Israel's push for war on Iraq; and the "chief enemy of the peace movement, the media."\n\nAmericans believe what the want, you're a racist if you love the Confederacy or its flag, Saddam did this or that.  The CIA reports that Saddam did not gas the Kurds!  If you do not believe that file a Freedom of Information Request, see FOIA site below it fills out the request for you (I did -he didn't).  But see for your self!\n\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People.

Saddam committed his alleged crimes within the boundaries of Iraq and should be subject to Iraqi justice if indeed he is found to be guilty.  I have believed all along that the Iraqi people are the ones that need to handle whatever is to be Saddam's fate.  \n\nIn view of the controversy surrounding the death of Slobodan Milosevic, I am a lot more comfortable that Saddam will receive actual justice and we will not have to worry about this kind of thing putting a cloud over the whole thing.

Personally I really don't care what happens to Saddam.. he was a horrible man that did horrible things to the people of his country and hopefully with our help they can step in and make their country better... The only person however that I care about is Bin Laden and his followers...

Sick, U.S. is not killing  him.The newly elected government\nformed by The Great George W. Bush and our Brave Loving Soldiers have ordered death by hanging.Do you know about the mass murders, the torture,Do You know before they torture a Man to a slow death, they rape the wives and child in front of him then kill the kids ,wife and then him.Then Saddam would go home , get the champagne,He and his sons would replay all the tortures for laughs.His nation is thankful.

No -- he was responsible for genocide. The most conservative estimates place the death count at his hands somewhere near a million lives. Though many of those deaths were people of other nationalities, a very large percentage were in fact Iraqis who either opposed him, or were conceived of as a threat. No one was safe -- not even his most trusted advisors.

To be honest I think its a Catch 22 situation.  You let him live and one group of people will be annoyed and rebel, you kill him and a different bunch of people are annoyed and rebel.  So no matter what happens there is going to be violence and terrorism in my opinion.  So what should be done?  Who knows, Saddam has been tried and found guilty of mass murder, he should be punished and in the eyes of Iraqi law that means death by hanging.  All we can do is obey the law.

Okay then, it's fairly obvious where you stand.\n\nI agree in principle with this statement:\n"This is the least Saddam deserved," \n\nThough I do not like hanging as a method of execution.

The Americans have been gunning for his death all along, and\nwill defiantly impress upon the tribunal to give the Death penalty.\n\nBut you must also know, that even today Saddam is a feared and respected man by many in Iraq.The outcome will not be settled so fast. Did you see the Glaring eyes & stance when in court he recently told the judge"I am the ruler of Iraq and who are you, a foreigner trying to pass judgement on me?"\n\nThe recent spate of bombings in Iraq between the Shias and Sunnis is directly connected with Saddams case. Which country\nwould ever allow a foreign country to set up courts?\n\nNo. The chair will probably decay &break, and the switches/\nwires will rust or melt away.And dont suggest a rope, because there is no such strong rope exists in the World to snap such a\nstrong throat.

655,000 dead Iraq, 3000 Americans dead, many, many more wounded and deformed for the rest of their lives on both sides. All for a war based on George Bush's lies. The American people ought to hold him accountable for his actions. Not to mention torture, secret prisons, not upholding the constitution, a paper that he swore to uphold when he was first appointed to office. He should be impeached and then turned over to the international court in the Hague for trial as  a war criminal. Do not forget that Cheney, and Rumsfield should go right along with him.

I would set roadside bombs and kill everybody Americans and Iraqi's. What is the sense in that, Iraqi's are killing themselves more than we are killing them.

This is not exactly a Law & Ethics question.  Nevertheless, no, Iraq is not bound for its own self-destruction, at least no more so than when Saddam Hussein was running the country and slaughtering his own people.

The sad ending to this story is someone who will make Saddam look like Santa will become the new dictator and life will be much worse for the Iraqis- we already made it worse for them.  And no, I do not believe America should be the "judge and jury" for any sickos that pop up- we are hated by all countries now and targeted our country for every terrorist and wacko out there.  When you see a cesspool, you should already know what is in it, you do not need to stir it up to have the shit float to the top, that is what our government has done in Iraq.

I agree, America has brought more death and destruction to Iraq then Saddam ever did, I know he was not a nice person but to invade a sovereign country is just wrong, Bush is the only president to ever do that.

He should execute.\nBut before that I prefer to listening/watching his advocacy about a lot of other subjects including, Iran-Iraq war, His supporters during the war, Chemical weapons that used during the war against Iranian and Iraqis, Slaughter innocent people during his regime, etc.\nThis court is wasting time just for one of his slaughters and I'm worrying about other crimes. It seems they don't want to plead them in the court.

some people amaze me .Its a long known fact that Saddam only got the power he had by being helped by the US , its also a long known fact that the weapons he had which he used to attack Kuwait and also to kill his own people were sold to him by the US and Europe Its another fact that the nuclear knowledge Iraq had was given by those i`ve already mentioned If the Kurds hadn`t stood up against Saddam which they only did because America gave them the impression they were going to join in and help them (which they had no intention of doing )they wouldn`t have been slaughtered for their punishment  Iraqi`s didn`t ask for their country to be destroyed, news programs on TV have interviewed countless Iraqi`s who say how much worse it is now than with Saddam The threat to America came because of decades of interference in the middle east . According to international law the Iraq invasion is illegal and an act of hostility

Everyone is linked to Al-Queda aren't they?\n\nAnyone who commits murder, especially children, should be found and prosecuted. That is fair and it should happen!\n\nFor me it is very difficult because we have killed over 2,000 rimes that many just in Iraq!\n\nWhen will they be held accountable?
