Saddam sentenced to death

[skcin]

Are we surprised? Does anyone care? Does this really mean anything to us? The Iraqi people? How involved is the U.S. and/or U.N. in this trial?

I can't help but feel that this sentence is mostly to say "see, we told you, we are winning, we brought the bad man to justice & now he'll pay." Am I wrong?

it is supposed to give the US citizens the impression that Bush had a successful "mission accomplished" in regards to terrorists, Iraq & those pesky WMD's (I found a WMD this morning, Unfortunately the 'terror suspect' did not cover that WMD up in the litter box...Damned "Feline Extremists'!!!)

Yeah. We shouldn't be involved in this. He should be sentenced to prison for the rest of his life. But hanging? What does that say about democracy to the rest of the middle east?

Oh yes. It's one for the history books. And I don't think we'll come out of this one looking too good.

Definitely. I'm sure many of them feel pretty strongly about this. At this point, they probably have mixed emotions about the whole deal.

It doesn't matter. What does matter is that we will always be perceived as responsible for this. And I don't think that's a good thing for us in the long run.

The guy that found him that day in the hole should have shot him that day-
Said-
Sorry, he tried to escape-, I had to use deadly force

Same result
Saddam is dead

Tons and Tons of money saved on trials and rherotic, and theroy's and people's misery wathing this man parade around on TV in a courtroom waiting for his verdict while thier family members were already dead, maybe after they were tortured...Justice? doesn't exist for these sad people, just revenge

The American sholdier should have just shot him and be done with it.
But...that is not what we do...we don't decide the law, or invoke it ,we just bring criminals into custody...maybe we should have made an exception and just shot the bastard----

I know this will sound political incorrect and wussy sixties, But when I was 15 I wore a button that said "why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?"

This modern world should know better. This is gonna put a deeper canyon between worlds than one can imagine.

Who's gonna hang W.?

I got my cam ready.

I think you're spot on.

BTW - MSN reporting that he'll hang within the next 48 hours.
