does anyone care that saddam is on a hunger strike?

This might sound cruel, but if he starves himself to death he's doing the whole world a favor.  \n\nThough they refused to take up the case for Terri Schiavo (who was not guilty of any crime other than being disabled and therefore inconvenient for her two-timing, money grubbing, lame $#s excuse for a husband), I can see the ACLU and various bleeding hearted groups mounting "Save Saddam" campaigns.  I can see it now...Michael Jackson writing a song, "Let's Save Saddam, let's keep him living..."\n\nArrgh!!!!\n\nLet the old buzzard rot.

Saddam committed his alleged crimes within the boundaries of Iraq and should be subject to Iraqi justice if indeed he is found to be guilty.  I have believed all along that the Iraqi people are the ones that need to handle whatever is to be Saddam's fate.  \n\nIn view of the controversy surrounding the death of Slobodan Milosevic, I am a lot more comfortable that Saddam will receive actual justice and we will not have to worry about this kind of thing putting a cloud over the whole thing.

The Americans have been gunning for his death all along, and\nwill defiantly impress upon the tribunal to give the Death penalty.\n\nBut you must also know, that even today Saddam is a feared and respected man by many in Iraq.The outcome will not be settled so fast. Did you see the Glaring eyes & stance when in court he recently told the judge"I am the ruler of Iraq and who are you, a foreigner trying to pass judgement on me?"\n\nThe recent spate of bombings in Iraq between the Shias and Sunnis is directly connected with Saddams case. Which country\nwould ever allow a foreign country to set up courts?\n\nNo. The chair will probably decay &break, and the switches/\nwires will rust or melt away.And dont suggest a rope, because there is no such strong rope exists in the World to snap such a\nstrong throat.

Yes absolutely, he ordered hundreds of thousands of Kurds to be gassed to death. He was sadisitic and had two awful sons who would rape and torture at will. My only concern is that hanging Saddam will just inflame the situation in Iraq as it will make him a martyr and will annoy his followers

I think they will and since I lost my baby brother in Iraq, I will be watching with popcorn!!!!!! Burn In Hell Saddam!!

quote\nis it better to keep him around in prison\n\nAbsolutely not! ! ! Saddam loyalist with the idea of him somehow regaining power is a major source of terror in Iraq. Keeping him alive this long has cost the lives of many American service men.

Saddam had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11. Nothing. And no he was not a good man. But then, how many 'good men' are running countries all over the world anyway. Unfortunately for the people of Iraq, Saddam's actions were a part of the culture. There is NO connection except that the Bush administration used 9/11, AlQuaeda, Osama, and Saddam?? as an excuse to visit havoc upon that country. In addiiton to which, in now uncovered (Freedom of Information) documents, the US had been looking for an excuse to invade, to remove Saddam and take over Iraq's oil reserves since Bush Sr. If the people of the UInited States had read, listened and demanded more, everyone would have been aware of this plan; and that includes our sorry representation in the House and Senate.\nSo Saddam has been sentenced to be hanged. So what.!!There's an appeal process which will likely keep him alive for at least another year. Actually not many people in the US give a rats azz about Saddam anyway.  They are more concerned with our troops and why the heck they are there anyway. Even the troops are beginning to ask questions. Those that is, who haven't been brainwashed.\nThe republicans will win or lose based upon what the voters want. Actually I am not too hopped up on voting anyway. If the Dems win, all I can say is that I hope they win by LARGE margins. If not, the Repubs will do everything in their power to keep the races OPEN ....

Absolutely not. He's turning a world against us, killing thousands of innocents (including our own troops), and lying out of his teeth in the name of his special interest puppet masters.\n\nWhew. That took a lot out of me.

I saw the headline yesterday "Blaine to hang", got me all excited it did. Turned out it was a stunt.  Surely he should come before Saddam.

Okay. In my opinion he was all bark and no bite. I don't believe there were any weapons of mass destruction to begin with. He didn't know how to deal with the U.S. or U.N. so therefore he threatened and tried to scare people. I don't think he really scared the U.S. I think Bush was looking for a reason to go in there to get ahold of the oil and to get back at him for threatening George Bush Sr. If you are a teenager are you going to go fight a first grader? That's what's happened. The first grader (Saddam) stuck his tongue out at the teenager (George Bush) and the teenager is a bully because the first grader has something that he wants so he's going to use the excuse that the first grader stuck his tongue out at him to get what he wants. So my friend, I can't say anything good about Saddam because I don't know him personally and the news isn't going to say anything good about him, but I can't say anything bad about him either because there is no proof of him doing anything wrong. I hopes this helps.

Sick, U.S. is not killing  him.The newly elected government\nformed by The Great George W. Bush and our Brave Loving Soldiers have ordered death by hanging.Do you know about the mass murders, the torture,Do You know before they torture a Man to a slow death, they rape the wives and child in front of him then kill the kids ,wife and then him.Then Saddam would go home , get the champagne,He and his sons would replay all the tortures for laughs.His nation is thankful.

This is the animal who cut Kenneth Bigleys (British civilian contractor) head off with a butchers knife, whilst he pleaded for his life, on video.\n\nThat mans family (who were not supporters of the war by the way) now never go a day without the haunting image of their brother, son, having his head severed from his neck with a fountain of blood as shown on Al Jazeera.\n\nHe personally did three "live for TV" beheadings and sponsored the rest.\n\nIs is a good thing this beast is dead?  Damn right it is!\n\nAl Zarquawi was a Jordanian. He was not an Iraqi or a freedom fighter, and nor are most of his Sunni followers.\n\nDoes his death mark the end of the insurgency, no of course it doesnt, but it is important as it clearly shows that Iraqis are starting to turn against the real foreign invaders and that is the bunch of criminals who are only in that devastated country to cause civil war between the Sunni and Shi'tes.

Hunger strike? Pick a cause!

They haven't found any (please list your source), and even if they did, is that an excuse for going in and killing 10000's of Iraqi's?  That makes him no better than Saddam.
1115522
They have not. I'm not just going to say I don't like him and consider that as a valid excuse. He has not been honest with us, and I in fact find him a threat to the United States as a whole. First of, Saudis attacked us, not Iraq. We're in there for oil, when we should be in Pakistan looking for the man that threatened the United States and might do it again. Think Pakistan, not Iraq. Bin Laden, not Hussein. And if it's not Osama that he cares about, why not deal with the Janjaweed in Uganda? Thousands of children being raped, sold as sex slaves, murdered, put on the front lines, mutilated. Why not save children if not the country?\n\nAs for Nickyraage, I'd like to see you make a complaint about this. The truth hurts, so get used to it.

Yes Saddam was an evil fuck who ate babies. That doesn't make a realpolitik invasion fuelled by hysterical paranoia masquerading as a war of liberation any less fucked up in comparison.\n\nWe must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.
