Can someone point out the similarities between Saddam's and Bush's regimes.?

If the President truly believed that "Saddam was a tyrant and used violence to exacerbate sectarian divisions to keep himself in power, and that as a result, deep tensions persist to this day", then why did he fail to send enough troops to keep the warring factions under control? Since our invation in 2003, almost 2400 of our brave sons and daughters have died in this misadventure. I think it is appropriate to ask President Bush to explain why he was unprepared to deal with the sectarian strife since he knew that Saddam's dictatorial polices sowed the seeds of civil war. Or, is this something he just got briefed on.

Indeed, I wonder how long he'd last on the streets of Baghdad! I think one would have to be extremely politically correct to worry whether or not Saddam's getting a fair trial... Sad though it is - and a noble experiment - Bush's plan to bring democracy to Iraq has predictably turned to crap; give them democracy and they'll elect an autocratic cleric or madman. The Middle East typically produces characters like Saddam, essentially because that's what it wants. You can't educate people who are stuck in the Dark Ages.

It is more of politics than justice.If innocent people killed is the criterion,Bush might have killed more people than Saddam.It is the personal grudge between Mr.Bush and Sddam.The judges were biased.No mass destruction weapons were found in Iraq.When the world commmnity wants abolishing of capital punishment,it was an unfotunate verdict.

yes. haliburton is one of the puppeteers of the bush regime.\n\ni think you will like some of the questions i've been asking too. \n\nlike the one about the US being a resource for the parasitic government that is the bush regime. from what i can recall no one really liked that question either.\n\nthe idea that iraq had second class infrastructure might be tempered by a cursory glance at google earth... well, unless they've updated their pictures now. i remember the placed used to look pretty sweet.\n\njoin the club of criticised critical thinkers hehe

Not at all. First, Saddam had a strongly secular government. He cracked down on militant Muslims within his own country, why would he support bin-Laden? Second, all the evidence points to is that members of al-Qaeda met with members of the Iraqi government. Even the source below, highly biased towards the right, doesn't argue that anything any more concrete happened. I wouldn't call that "strong links." That'd be like saying we have "strong links" with China because our administration has met with them many times over the past decade.

Both, but Bush has the potential to do much greater harm over time. His embargo on Iraq accounted (according to UN Relief) for the death of about 500 thousand children over nearly 10 years. If he goes on, the toll on the arab countries might entitle the Bush family for an award for genocide against all arab nations, I say award because I doubt he'll ever be tried to crimes (like last week's bombing of a Pakistani village over the Iraq border murdered a few peasant families) but who cares about these things, anyway.

NO! Even though Bush's Grandfather Prescott "Poppy" Bush helped fund Hitler, there are major differences. Although what Beach Bum wrote is correct, here are the 8 Key differences: \n\n1. Hitler was elected into power.\n2. Hitler did miliary service in a warzone\n3. Hitler took a broken country and turned it into a world power, Bush is taking a world power and turning it into a broken country.\n4. Hitler tried to eradicate Jews, Bush is selling his nation out to the jews\n5. Hitler masterminded a terrorist attack on his own country (Reichstag fire) and blamed his enemies (the communists) to take radical and dictotorial powers. Bush was kept out of the loop when Cheney organised a terrorist attack on the USA to help Bush get dictatorial powers (which Cheney will exercise through the puppet Bush)\n6. Hitler was very intelligent and had a long attention span.\n7. Hitler was a great speaker.\n8. Hitler loved animals.

"RIGHT WINGED NEO_CON" yes I do see the similarities! Yes your getting the point. Vote the Tyrants out in November with the rest of us.

But it's OK, Saddam was our friend when Reagan put him in, right? Dictators are cool when they're on our side. The whole "freedom and peace worldwide" thing doesn't count when the dictators back our interests..\n</sarcasm>

The CIA and the NIS were instructed by the Bush Administration to find evidence to confirm Saddam had Nuclear and Biological weapons Programs actively in use. The CIA and NIS new from the outset that they would find it impossible to do this, because they had no intelligence what-so- ever to give to the Bush administration who were demanding  proof. They managed, between them to supply Bush & Cheney a report that was`nt worth the paper it was printed on. These agencies said at the time, and have continued to admit, to this day. Saddam had NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. NONE !! The US and the UK went to war for NOTHING, It takes ONE BULLET TO ASSASINATE A TYRANT, NOT 650 000 DEAD PEOPLE. IT IS AN ILLEGAL WAR, pure and simple. If anyone would care to argue the point with me I`ll open up my e.mail for discussion, and supply ANY evidence they wish to examine.\nAnd don`t give me any crap about violating UN sanctions, they were devised specifically to entrap the Hussein regime, thus ensuring he had absolutly no choice but to violate them. \nI believe that now the US and UK have tested the water, as it were. They have set a precedent where by, you don`t actually need a viable excuse for invading another country and killing it`s people, they have devised their own set of rules. Astonishing and terrifying and truly barbaric.

I saw this one on here earlier:\n\nWhat's the difference between Bush and Bin Laden?\n\nOne can't speak english, has irrational religious\nbeliefs, and carelessly makes decisions that cost\nthousands of lives. The other is middle eastern.

see, you're slightly incorrect here....\n\nBush 2 (and for the record, sequals are always worse), didnt learn squat from anything ever, especially foreign history, but all the ppl around him like cheney and rove did learn something, they learned what happens after a war, and they realized how you can manipulate the masses during a war, and in doing so, you can profit from it financially. \n\nbush and his buddies just looked for the quickest way to do what they wanted, how they wanted, and didnt care about anything else. they're not even pretending to care about our country. their regime is the most thinly veiled corruption ever. dont get me wrong, Saddam was a tyrant, but there are worse, and more dangerous out there, why didnt we go after them?
