I may have the sunni/shiite factions mixed up though, I don't remember for sure.

Thats very true, thats why i didn't wanna point specific fingers because i dont know for sure whose fighting who...:confused:

But, the point i was trying to make is that there are shiite iraqi soldiers that are fighting alongside the US and that group of people are the ones celebrating Saddam's sentancing.

I can only think ahead to when im 45-50 years old and looking back on this war... i wonder how the outcome will be..?

what the hell? Go figure a year after we detained and prosecuted him. They decide to execute him during election month? Hmmmm, I believe this man should be punished with death, but I mean since 1988 hes been doing his genocide thing, and now we decide to take action? George W Bush for two terms was the sign of a great downfall...We shall see.

He should have never been captured in the first place.. but that's just my :twocents:. Not saying that he wasn't a bad guy who didn't do bad things, but look what it has gotten us into in Iraq. I don't think that needs any explanation.

..."from the mouth of babes".....ain't it high time ..we went..?(home)

You guys really wanna see his eyes bulge out of his head, his body jerk and then be lifeless hanging there like a wet blanket, i know it sounds exciting, but its not my definition of entertainment.

ending his life will do nothing to compensate for those people he so brutally murdered, this execution is 20 years over due,really this does nothing, infact that fucker thinks his "god" is going to give him 50 some odd virgins, he probably cant wait to feel that rope tighten around his cowardly neck.

all and all i will miss saddams appearances on south park, hilarious.

since when did we still hang people????:confused:

they should prolly torture him in every way possible....it wont make up for the torture hes put on so many people but damn id love to know hes gettin his.

hes lucky our legal system isnt so much in to the whole torture scene

if anyone gets a video of when this happens.. hook me up.. stupid fucker deserves it

He was tried In an Iraq by Iraqis.....

The law states that it must be carried out in 30 days

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.

Killing people solves absolutely nothing. In fact, i predict his death will only make things worse. Those who were loyal to saddam will view him as a martyr. They will fight for their martyred hero saddam. The war in Iraq may get much worse after this.

If anything i think they should make him walk around naked in his hometown and let people throw tomatoes at him. And then of course put him in jail for the rest of his days.

And I know you could say "Well, he ordered hundreds to be murdered and that'll get you a death sentence under the new government" Ex post facto laws are supposed to be immoral...that's why they're not allowed in the constitution.

If he was arrested BEFORE the new elected gov. was in place........still no! The "world" didn't want to get dirty so if he wasn't tried by the Iraqi courts it should have been up to the countries involved to decide his fate. Why the hell should most of these dirty food for oil countries have ANY say?

Tell ya what.....you want a world court? I have a U.N. flag and I say hang the son of a bitch!!:cursing:

Have a good one!:greenthumb:
