Atleast they don't have to worry about being burried alive, hacked to pieces, tortured, and raped by a mad man. We won't owe them anything we have freed them. Millions of Families were DESTROYED by Saddams estimated 6 million brutal killings compared to what i would aggressively estimate at 20,000 families damaged by deaths after he was deposed. They are better off now then pre-war Iraq. Has Saddam repaid the families he deystroyed???

no way.  we are over there trying to be the good guy and help the iraqis and then they see that.  it makes them hate us and makes more enemies for us.  the prisons over there are supposed to be run like they would in the US, and that would not happen over here without a HUGE outrage.  i used to be an MP in the army and i am VERY ashamed of those MPs that did that.  it was wrong.

Of course Iraqis are better off since we invaded and occupied uh i mean liberated them,  just ask the survivors. \n\nRepublicans are the party of smear and fear

NO I AGREE WITH THE ASKER, WE SHOULD LET HIM BE FREE.\nAMONG ALL HIS VICTIMS, FAMILIES, UNARMED AND UNPROTECTED AS WERE HIS VICTIMS. YES FREE THE IRAQI 1, AND WE WILL SEE HOW LONG HE LASTS.

I bet u r not the only one asking this question.... As to whether democracy can work in Iraq, what we need to realise is that democracy can't be forced upon ppl. It is a system by the ppl, for the ppl. So, maybe it will. But to really see whether it does or doesn't, we'll have to wait till Iraq is rid of the foreign occupents...

yes we SHOULD torture them\n\nthey arent u.s. citizens, they dont have constitutional rights\ntheir surrender was unconditional\n\nwe should have an eye-for-eye-tooth-for-tooth system. if they cut our peoples heads off with dull bladed swords, we have every right to do the same\n\nin the phillippines they stopped the insurrection by burying the islamic extremists in pig feces.. that stopped it really quickly since they believe being buried in pig feces is an auto-hell granting.  we should do what the filipinos did.

You seem to think that the same Iraqis who vote are the ones involved in the sectarian strife.\n\nThe people committing the violence are fighting to destroy the Iraqi democracy.\n\nDo not assume that a few terrorists speak for the Iraqi people.

Personally I would agree, we're just giving the old fool precisely what he wants anyway (he does want death but by firing squad, not hanging).\n\nI would prefer that they sentence him to life in Abu Gharaib or permanent confinement in a spider hole, anything that will make him beg for a death that will never come.\n\nBut in the final analysis, we do not have that power. Only those judges or the Iraqi people can really decide what to do with him (and for the most part they want him dead).

its part of the propaganda of diabolization. They need those people to be the "bad" ones so that they can justify commiting atrocities against them. Its a vicious circle that only ends when we end global poverty. Guess what we could have done for the same price as the Iraq war?

No way. The G.W. Bush administration is commiting a crime. And that does not end in Iraq, it continues in Guantanamo Bay and with the continuation of the death penalty against its own citizens. Only hypocrites can believe that this is morally and justly correct.

"I have a plan"\n\ncyndie yes I can. stay untill the iraqi people can defend them selves and have established a govt that is sustainable for atleast the near future.  And anybody that is against that "kill them" its not easy but world politics and world safety is not easy.  and it is going to take time.  a stability in the middle east will start in the world effort for stability

I think it wold have to be a specific threat to the person or their specific social grouping (rather than just being Sunni etc).\n\nThe people of Iraq are generally having an awful time ... it wold seem wrong to take someone as a refugee if they were just going back to the same situation as the rest of the people - that smacks of preference rather than necessity.

The trial is the way to go. I know it is a pain to watch this thing drag out. We've got to give the Iraqi people a chance to develop their democracy. This is a great exercise in controlling impulses to just kill someone with out a trial. The people of Iraq need this to know that if the worst among has been treated fairly then if they go to court they will also be treated fairly.\n\nIt sure would have been great to kill him in the short run, but in the long term success of Iraq as a free nation this is the way it has to happen.

Yes.  \n\nThe debate over the reasons for being there and was it right or wrong really mean nothing now - it is done.\n\nNow the focus should be on providing the time and opportunity for the Iraqis to form and protect some form of stable government that is satisfactory to all the factions in the country.\n\nCan this happen?   Probably not.  I personally see little hope for a country where the religious leaders control the minds of the people as they do, have their own militias, and can murder the leader of a rival sect and get away with it.

That would be an interesting question to ask the citizens of the world. Based on our current foreign policy, I'd bet most people would say that Americans are, particularly since we now openly approve of torture. The Iraqis are seen as citizens of an occupied country and we are seen as their occupiers. And in spite of the failure of the war, our leaders refuse to change tactics or even admit wrongdoing.
