Hanging's too good for him...

[exarmyranger]

Just trolling for opinion's on Sadahm's being sentenced to death by hanging.My personal opinion is "Who care's how just kill the S.O.B.a.s.a.p."

[Bill]

It don't make any difference to me. And it's not really america's business.

It'll be interesting to see if they put it on the evening news.

But it won't make any difference as far as the Iraq problem is concerned.

Drawing and quartering would make for great fuckin' television.

I think they still use beheading by sword in the middle east too.

[exarmyranger]

Yo Bill,good idea "and now the moment we've been waiting for"live" from where ever...Sadahm's final moment's on earth...brought to you by the good folk's in congress.

[SirMoby]

I think they still use beheading by sword in the middle east too.From what I hear that's still quite common in the public squares in Saudi Arabia, you know the country that produced most of the 9/11 terrorists.

The only reason why they would kill him without standing trial for genocide is that they don't have enough evidence to win a case, not even even in the controlled courts.

He was convicted of killing about 140 people in retaliation to an assassination attempt. That's about the same amount of people that are being killing in Iraq every day now because of the war and far less people that have been kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured by Dubya's police.

If they don't get a stronger conviction the world will always see Dubya as a much more dangerous criminal.

We invaded a country that was an enemy of Iran and Bin Laden and should have become our allie (again). We have tortured and killed a countless numbers of people. How will history see this?

Anything less then a genocide conviction and Saddam looks like a petty thief.

[exarmyranger]

Nothing new about his crime's,man has been killing man since the dawn of time.I wonder if we had lost WW11,despite the bomb's we deliverd to Hiroshima,and Nagasaki...Would are commander and chief (for a start)be charged with war crime's...You bet your ass he would.

[SirMoby]

I'm confused.

During WWII Japan attacked the USA. They were a direct threat to the USA.

Iraq was never a threat to the USA. Iraq was an enemy of our supposed enemies. Our commander and chief invaded a country that was no threat to us. We have denied them basic rights.

Is Saddam a criminal? Yes. Did he commit more heinous acts then Dubya? Maybe but none have been proven in court.

We still need a better conviction.

[exarmyranger]

The point I was atempting to make is,thoughout history,the victorious are never held responcible for any civillian,or non combatant's who were killed with afore thought.Only the losing faction's are held responcible...By the way the U.S. fired the first shot at a mini sub.sending it and 4 others to the bottom of Pearl Harbor.The airial assault began the following day Dec.8,1941.I am in agreement with you for the most part Sir Moby.I was just making an observation,thanx for your reply.

If they do actually start a trial for genocide (which I cant see ever happening) - I wonder if his supporters in the US govt that gave him the materials and logistical support for accomplishing it will also stand trial? I wonder what the extradition process is for a former Defense secretary and a vice president of the US to stand trial in Iraq would look like?

Hmmm,I suppose that "what would it look like",depend's on whether you dream in color or black&white,becuase the only way you,me,and John Q.Public will see that is if we are in the R.E.M. zone.So no would/is my answer...But we can dream...

He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!

I am not a propotent of death by torture,mainly because the thought of dying,is preferable to torture,and even may be a source of comfort...and we would'nt want that,now,would we.Not to be repetative but I say"Just kill the s.o.b. a.s.a.p.OH,not to be a nit-pick but if you tear a person to piece's,especially little bitsy piece's,your chance's of burying him alive are mighty thin...G-Nite,ex.

[SirMoby]

You can't kill him until he's been convicted of killing more people then are currently being killed on a daily basis now. Unless he's convicted of more killings then have been caused by the war it will haunt the USA for generations to come.

Killing him without a trial for genocide will add more fuel to terrorism then even the US approved torture has.

Er... it was a movie quote. That's why I typed "~Hanover Fist from Heavy Metal"

Appropriate, imo. :banana:

Yeah, nobody should get the death penalty until it can be proven they've killed more people than anyone else. :huh:

Well,what the hell "hanging the piece of camel shit,will have to suffice." If they hang him out-of-doors,I hope it's a nice sunny day...ex

[Bill]

It's sort of a fascinating little exercise in the history of execution.

Hanging! On a modern gallows. Probably broadcast on TV. That's something you don't see everyday.

I have to admire this 'final letter' of his - exhorting the people to unite and throw out the invaders.

I wonder if the insurgents and the people will do an offensive because of this?

Or sit back and watch the dance on the tube...

You seem to have forgotten to make a point in your post.

Many in the world don't see Saddam and Dubya as very different. The USA put Saddam and the Sunnis in power to keep the Kurds and Shiias from fighting and screwing with the oil supply. They removed a democratic government and Saddam did exactly what he was supposed to do, until Kuwait started to block his access to the sea.

Many in The Middle East and else where will see that Saddam killed 114 people after they attempted to assassinate him, which in an archaic dictatorship like the one we established is normal. It's sad. It's terrible but that's the government that the USA created.

Now Dubya has killed far more then 114 Iraqis. He's killed 30 times more Americans and 1,000 times more Iraqis then Saddam's 114.

If the USA was the only one writing the history book then it wouldn't matter but others will write the history as Dubya was far worse then Saddam.

Just wait and see the fallout over the next generation. Besides, what's wrong with keeping the ass hole alive long enough to be tried for genocide?

Don't get me wrong. Saddam is a terrible man. The question is how do we prove that he's more terrible then Dubya?

hello board:p

what i believe

sirmody is correct imo. i think an important question is; will killing saddam save any lives? i believe the answer to be a definite no. it will only further enrage his supporters and those who believe the wars in the east are against islam, increasing violence in the east and west. the chances are our governments, after handing him over to a court which was almost certainly going to hang him, will deny any suggestions that his execution is a factor if we see increased bombing in our own back yards. just as the british government denied the wars in the east incited the recent london bombings which, of course, they did. we all know there are many young men willing to fight and die for saddam and their countries (or those misguided enough to do it for religion who, we are led to believe, are in the majority of willing combatants) and they have a hefty amount of financial support. Nevertheless, the wars, incited by islamic extremists in the first place imo, have already stirred up two massive hornets nest so much that it's hard to see where it all end... oh what to do:banghead:

going to make pancakes

[exarmyranger]

Welcome,hairy diamond.I am of the same opinion in general...But if the insurgent's did'nt have anyone else to fight/kill,they would fight/kill each other!IM(Humble)O...ex
