Poll question: Saddam Hussein quiz...

The US went into Iraq to take out Saddam Hussein as he proved to be a threat to world security and safety. Now he has been arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. Just to put things in perspective, Saddam Hussein was convicted on crimes committed...

(no fair googling!)

"A trial in a second case, genocide against Kurds, continues against Saddam Hussein."

So how can they kill him if hes still on trial???

5. He cannot be allowed to testify in further trials as he will

name names, including Poppy, Rummy and the Dick. If Saddam is hanged then they should hang right next to him. They have spread so much death, destruction and suffering for profit in their greedy lust for power and money. They enabled and encouraged Saddam's actions, if it was actually his orders, besides supplying the gas/chemicals to him.

Evil men.

3. WAY back- when he was our 'partner in crimes'- read Tariq Aziz's

testimony on behalf of Saddam from the trial-

He was convicted of actions taken against assisination attempts- :crazy:

And if the Iraqi 'government' is so legitimate, why the F*&% is 'America' holding Saddam, Aziz and the others slated for 'trial & punishment' captives?

Why do 'we' have any 'control' over the Iraqi people in a 'legitimate' goverened country? We try and wash our hands of responsibility by saying "this is what the Iraqi people have decided in a legitimate trial"-

To which i say _________________ it

We aren't fooling anyone. We are exposing ourselves as the fools we are.
