I would imagine there will be plenty of people around the world who will have a problem with this, and not because the love Saddam.
But they would hang Bush without a thought.

How do you figure that liberating Iraq is "a crime against humanity"?

Hussein was a brutal theocratic socialist dictator.

People like him have proven to be the worst of the worst.

You realize that after the "liberation" it is worse in Iraq, right?

Iraq torture 'worse after Saddam'

the US didn't liberate iraq. it attacked and invaded iraq in order to control the region and access to its resources. concern about saddam was a PR move. we really couldn't have given a shit less if he killed millions. last time i checked, wars of aggression, (especially when it leads to the death of hundreds of thousands of innocents, tens of thousands of refugees, and billions in property damage) is a crime against humanity. how hard is it to see the situation for what it really is? do you really think the US government is so different from imperialistic powers that have existed since the beginning of time? sure, it was under the guise of "democracy," but call it what you want, its still imperialsm. and contrary to what some might say, there is no benevolent empire. never has been, never will be.

But Tou are a good Liberal Loyalist though as you never let FACTS stand in the way of Truth!!

Just in case YOU Girls forget, We are not there to Win friends and influence People, and if it brings more Terrorists into the Kill Zone so be it, they will Die also!!

Was information planted that I missed? The media is known to have ties to the Communists and are friendly with the enemies of the United States. Dan Rather spewed false stories and is Castro's pal, for example.

The Socialist anti-American CNN or CBS types may as well be al Jazeera satellite stations. They simply have no value in reporting news. But, Rather they promote anti-Americanism just like any enemy of the United States.

That is who they are.

Anyway, Saddam getting the death sentence is good news. Who's next?

There has never been a time when you have ever thought of the troops first, which strikes me as very suspicious.

You are very partisan, which I am also, but to the extent where it doesn't override my concerns for the soldiers.

You don't do that, it's down the partisan line no matter what.

It is obvious that Hussein's execution will entice violence against our troops. Quite suprised it never crossed your mind or you just didn't care. You know what demoralizes the troops? People that think like you, never concerned about the soldier constantly looking over his shoulder as you gloat over events that will wreck more havoc on them.

I'm happy about the verdict, not the sentence.

I'm very suspicious of you.
well perry mason , that is cause you are so far removed from what CURRENT soldies think and i unlike you fought over there.................I do have concern for the soldiers , and i do want this war to end, but i want it to be a victory so those friends i have lost were not lost in vain, but after the personall attack lets get to the issue at hand if the packers lose there is more violence in iraq killing the man will cause no further problems than already are happening at this time

and in the end i doubt you care that much about anything other than your party

yes i am partisan for a VICTORY IN IRAq

you are partisan for FAILURE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

there is a vast difference there pal

Wouldn't make a difference the liberals use any example of mistreatment as an excuse to parrot their whacky belief that Iraq was better off under Saddam. And that in fact the ME was a safer place under his regime. They have their talking points which are void of anything to do with reality.

If the liberal media actually cared about the truth they would be reporting the good works americans and the troops are doing in Iraq and the ME. As it is that doesn't fit their Bush is the devil template.

Re: Saddam Sentenced to Death

Why is this Breaking News, Saddams sentence is a foregone conclusion. Seriously, was there ever any doubt?

Personally, I don't care what they do with him. He is already a martyr.

The Bush family is friends with the Saudi's, so by your logic, the association game, they are terrorists too. All this time I thought you didn't think that.

Saddam gets what he deserves, the violence now will be blamed on this, but it will just be a new excuse. If the global community were more pro-active we could have a lot more of these leaders tried and sentenced.

Do you know who owns CNN? I'm quite sure the man who founded that big company that CNN is part of does not advocate socialism. Again, you should check up on the ideologies. If liberalism is socialism to you than maybe you are for an oligarchy? or autocracy? theocracy?
