QuoteGood. Now lets put Bush and his daddy on trial too so they can go down with their old buddy.
earlier this morning saddam hussain and 2 of his aides were found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging

The victors of conflict will always write history I guess
the world hated Sadamm, he was a powerhungry ego maniac, and a danger to the middle east
the world hates Bush, he is a powerhungry maniac, and a danger to the whole world
can we expect him to get a bullet any day soon?
Saddam was no more a danger to the Middle East than I amOriginally Posted by bennocelt

conveniently timed verdict also, the week of the US midterms. I see Amnesty International have said that the trial was not conducted fairly. I deplore capital punishment in all its forms

I can't they're all dead
I was talking about circa 2000, 2001
Plus if your looking at it from a stability point of view then the Kurds and the Shias were far more dangerous in the Middle East than Saddam
When did the Rovers fans invade Kuwait?
That's soooooooooo early 90's
Read a book, think you'll find there was a lot more to that invasion then you see on Sky News
May I suggest Robert Fisk
I am aware that there was much more than seen on Sky News, but I feel he has comitted a number of terrible crimes, and has been found guilty of them.
I understand there were problems with the court, and by any standard it was not imartial at all, but do you believe that if a fair trial had been allowed, he would have been found innocent?
Here is your answer.............

To Lim til I die
I agree that he is no more culpable than other heads of state, but he is also no less culpable.
As much as I dislike what is going on in Iraq, I think that he was a leader who was responsible for terrible acts, and he has been correctly found guilty, even if the process was not as fair as I'd like.
Hope he isnt executed as I oppose capital punishment.
I dunno am I Conor, I mean here you are following me around the site passing your lil' comments
"Not a threat"
I should hope not son
Indeed he isn't
But surely if your going to be trying heads of state for crimes in the Middle East your going to be at it for the next 20 years just to hit the tip of the iceberg
until today, I've always found LTID to be pretty fair and clued in. Disagree with him today, but not a WUM I think.

We are talkng at cross purposes I think.
Was Sadam a greater threat than other leaders whose states didnt have oil?
Absolutely not.
Was the war in Iraq false from the start?
Absolutely.
If we were to believe the current USA rationale for the war, wouldnt the USA have to invade many other, more dangerous countries?
Absolutely. (and they wont).
I am guessing that you and I see eye to eye on a lot more than you think.
Only on the question of whether Sadam is guilty of terrible crimes, I say he is.

Of course I'm not going to even try and deny the fact that he used chemical weapons and torture and such
I just think that he did these undoubtedly evil deeds as the head of state of his nation which was under threat.
Many, many people would have done the same in his shoes
History is chock full of countless examples of people doing wicked deeds to "Save the Nation"
I'm afraid I agree with Lim till i die, Saddam wasn't a threat to the Middle East. It had already been proved that he could be contained, he wasn't going anywhere. He was, however, a thread to the Iraqi people. That's a different issue though.
Capital punishment is the easy way out. Saddam should have been jailed for the rest of his life with the most basic requirements to keep him alive.
BTW, this thread is very close to personal attacks already. Any more and I'll lock it.
adam
He was doing it to secure the US Oil supply in the region.
