He needs to be someones bitch for a while.
As for him getting executed... let's just say he won't be missed.

Maybe South Park had it right. Say hello to your boyfriend.

i'm just disappointed that it's going to be a hanging - that seems like it is far too humane.

Uh Oh, we agree again.....

I hate getting involved in these type of discussions, but in the interest of answering the pending question, take a look here:

Unfortunately, it was simply a case of the US doing what it thought was in it's own best interest. Turns out it was not such a great idea. It is my hope that we (our nation and it's government) can learn from these type of mistakes in policy. Only time will tell.

we hate him because we propped him up and funded and armed him but then he wouldn't behave.

How did the United States 'prop him up' and arm Hussien's Iraq? All I've ever seen are Soviet sphere weaponry used by the Iraqi military. Are you thinking of how the French helped to build that Reactor that the Israeli's destroyed?

I'm surprised you can even type that let alone understand what it means.

why? it is state sanctioned murder. you can call it anything you want but that's what it comes down to. just like all the people he is responsible for killing. except his murder is well deserved. i'm just disappointed that it's going to be a hanging - that seems like it is far too humane.

I don't understand why you hate him so much.Yes he's a dictator,killed lots of people bla bla...But he has done nothing wrong to any of you.Non-iraq residents were out of his controlling area you know..And since nobody here cared so much about the Iraq residents and their life in political pressure and misery ,why do you hate so much?


It's just "hey they're killing someone.let's watch it.it sounds fun"


And killing him will just heaten up the area.Terrorists attacks will remain and become more often.

Wait... I need help with my own bullshit now.

[St.James]

Oh and I believe electronic voting machines can't manipulated either.

[St.James]

What, you don't remember all those twits running around over there with purple hands?

[hippietim]

Iraq picked and elected their own government, dude...

Killing Saddam makes him a martyr. I also think putting him on trial by an American hand-picked government rather than an international war crimes tribunal calls into question the legitimacy of the whole process.
