our troops will stop dying for that particular cause and Iraq will probably revert to a war torn arena that is governed by warlords and/or different religious factions until the most powerful one is able to take control, which will probably/definitely be another Saddam.... then you will have another situation unlike the previous and we can start all over, probably with a US leader that will not invade but will allow a military buildup and then we can just let them invade us..... after all, the only thing most (not all but most) of the governments in that part of the world want is the complete destruction of the west.... which includes us and anyone that is on our side................. so while no one wants what we have there now.... the choice is finish it and get out or get out and let them finish us............... our choice.

Remember we have a thousand year of history behind us and have survived and co-exsisited. Saddam was installed in power by the Americans. He was financed and armed by the US(to combat Iran). We now have another American puppet in power. Then we paid the price of America's mistakes and today again we are paying the price of America's mistakes with our lives. All we want is America to get out of Iraq and we will solve our own problems. The sectarian violence will not cease unless American's leave our country. They are doing more harm tham good with there presence. Dont they realise, we dont want there "democracy" or way of life. Just let us be. We dont need any help from the Americans. GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW.

No one is better under a murderous tyrant. Saddam and his sons enjoyed torturing people. \nThey killed tens of thousands.  \n\nIraq is in turmoil.  Saddam's supporters and Shia factions are causing a huge amount of unrest. Then there are the foreign influences,  There is to be a verdict in Saddam's trial for killing the Kurds in the next 24 hours.\nAl Sadr's militia is torturing and killing Sunni's in Baghdad to try to spark civil war.   \n\nMany Iraqis are better off.  The "Marsh Muslims" in the southern part of the country were being killed off wholesale and an ancient way of life was being exterminated.  People near the Syrian border are fine too, and the Kurds,who have suffered grievously are truly happy in Iraq now, after being exterminated in Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. \n\nNothing is all good or all bad. Our country has to keep foremost in mind what we are there for.\nThe entire mid East waits to see what will come.\n\nThe Hezbollah are trying to topple the elected government of Lebanon, funded and armed by Iran and Syria.\n\nPlease keep in mind that Iraq is on one side of Iran and Afghanistan is on the other.  Unless you look forward to real WW III against Muslims led by Iran, you'd better hope that Iraq stabilizes under its new government.

Umm...Saddam did some really bad things during his reign as ruler of Iraq. Whether Bush is a criminal or not will be determined by history.

I think it is.  The death of Saddam should put an era of Iraqi history to rest.  It may even act as a cathartic event for the country as a whole and allow the present govt. to move forward and tackle the many issues currently facing them.

I'm confused, is this a question about Bush or the future of Iraq?  Bush will only be in office a few more years.  Iraq has a future which will go on for a long time.  The thing is, Bush didn't ask the people of Iraq if they wanted help.  He didn't ask the people if they were happy with their old government.  What the people of Iraq are telling him is that they aren't happy with the Bush solution.  Bush needs to pull back and allow the people of Iraq to decide what form of government they want, that is after all, what Democracy is supposed to be all about.  Hopefully the people of the USA will speak loudly in the next election and will get someone who listens to what the people want, not what he(she) wants.

Everyone is linked to Al-Queda aren't they?\n\nAnyone who commits murder, especially children, should be found and prosecuted. That is fair and it should happen!\n\nFor me it is very difficult because we have killed over 2,000 rimes that many just in Iraq!\n\nWhen will they be held accountable?

Saddam had the know how to keep control of his people.  He was successful in keeping his enemies at bay, as well, particularly Iran.\n\nThe one thing that Saddam didn't control was his own family.  His two sons were simply evil people.  They murdered, maimed, raped, tortured simply because they could.  Saddam did very little to change their uncontrollable behavior, and eventually it came back to haunt him.\n\nSaddam's own arrogance was his worst enemy.  Why he thought the US wouldn't come after him a second time was a poor calculation.  His own defiance did him in.\n\nDon't do a disservice to the men and women of the armed forces by suggesting the Saddam ran a tighter ship, because he didn't.  Today, much of the blame for Iraq's quagmire can be blamed on Syria and Iran.  Ahmadinejad as much as admitted that he could stop the fighting with the snap of his fingers.  This also means that he's the one who is causing Iraq's civil war.\n\nFor this, he should be punished, severely!

No.  Our government has failed us yet again.  And you know you're going to get "Saddam killed thousands of his own people."  As if the US causing the death of thousands of innocent people is somehow less tragic.

Oh yes.  Saddam will be hung, and it will be before the spring of 2007.  Its no longer in America's hands.  The Iraqis have spoken up to their years of abuse and genocide, and Saddam will get what he deserves

To,\nThe self-proclaimed dad of the universe,\n\nAsk the Iraqis...is it really?

Personally I really don't care what happens to Saddam.. he was a horrible man that did horrible things to the people of his country and hopefully with our help they can step in and make their country better... The only person however that I care about is Bin Laden and his followers...

250,000 Iraqis have been murdered by the barbaric American troops since the 2003 invasion. Most of them are civilians, women and children. Therefore by the Bush administrations own 'standards' you have committed genocide. I don't know about you but I do not like to be partially responsible for such war crimes, whether 250,000 deaths is genocide or not, it is an unforgivable crime. As citizens in a "democratic, freedom loving" country you should take some responsibility for the actions of your elected barbaric governments.

I think that many children are starting to sit up and take notice because things are not the same as they were six years ago. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins going to Iraq. Soldiers being killed on what seems to be a daily basis. These aren't things that will escape their notice. Unfortunately, with the current administration, the age of childhood innocence isn't what it used to be.
