The sad ending to this story is someone who will make Saddam look like Santa will become the new dictator and life will be much worse for the Iraqis- we already made it worse for them.  And no, I do not believe America should be the "judge and jury" for any sickos that pop up- we are hated by all countries now and targeted our country for every terrorist and wacko out there.  When you see a cesspool, you should already know what is in it, you do not need to stir it up to have the shit float to the top, that is what our government has done in Iraq.

The judge is attempting to be fair and impartial. Last I checked, the Judge is a member of the same religious sect as Saddam Hussein al-Tikiriti (to use his FULL name). The judge is bound by their jurisprudence which is based upon the Brittish system. Mr. al-Tikriti is being tried by jury.

I do not think any one will disagee that all guilty should get the punishment as per their crime then whatever kind of crime they have committed. 1984 riots are shame on India's name. This should not have happened now this has happened we have to ensure that if this is inicited by someone they should get such punishment that no one should ever dare to do this again. We cannot afford one more 1984 as we have lost smile from one of the most smiling community. Community which use to crack jokes on themselves to make every one laugh. I cannot imagine my school class without my sardar friend who use to make our life so kool that we use to forgot all our study tension. I undersand that this no more there things have changed for bad and if I am given power I would not spare who made this loose. Either hung them or put them in such miserable condition for life that they get punished for snatching smiles from my friends face.

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.

though there is no iota of doubt regarding Saddam suppressed and massacred shies, his trial has not been conducted in accordance with principles of natural justice as defense witnesses were beaten up lawyers died under mysterious circumstances. another thing is whether he be given death punishment or life imprisonment that is to be decided by the Iraqis only. the us has no role to play in awarding punishment to other heads of countries. if that is the case what sort of punishment is to be given to bush for the death of countless innocent Iraqis by invading that country with a false charge that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. in this regard we are to learn from the Nepalis  who dethroned their autocratic king without interference of external forces

NO...First punish the rapists, murderers, dacoits, robbers, tax evaders, child molesters, kidnappers, corrupt police officials, and then waste time on Sanjay Dutt and Salman, all they did was possess a weapon (only possess..didn't kill even a fly with it) and kill an endangered species (if humans are in abundant, that does not mean the criminals against humanity can get away)....\nSadly, it has become a fashion these days to go after celebraties...

no, Madan Lal Dhingra, a keen follower and friend of Savarkar, assassinated British MP Sir Curzon Wylie and it was known atht Savarkar supported this action. By jailing him he could not work as effectively and be a warning to others that to associate with assassins means you go to jail for ever. To say he lay a trap for the British gives far too much importance to at the time a minor player in the confused world of Indian politics

Well a few states here still utilize this ultimate punishment, I guess it should be a national issue and should probably be brought to a vote.\n\nUnless Parliament can actually discuss this matter calmly, rationally, and use public opinion to guide their final decision.\n\nCould this happen? I don't know...

Nope, murder sanctioned by the government and police always goes unpunished... unless it's to boost political support, in which case they get made into sacrifices for public approval.

Maybe for the challenge.  Everyone knows Saddam gassed the Kurds and invaded Kuwait.  But some lawyers are competitive that thrive on the challenge.  Here you have the opportuniry to represent a head of state, accused of crimes against humanity and the peace that are irrefutable, but what does it feel like to be responsible for an entire country, while surrounded by neighbors like Iran and Syria, where there is a strong presence felt from world powers like China, Russia and the U.S.  This is a cuthroat region where everyone wants or needs a piece of the action because of the oil reserves in the region.  What is the history of the region?\n\nA lawyer cannot change facts or perform magic.  Even Clarence Darrow had a case where he had his clients plead guilty to murder, and instead argued at sentencing in an effort to save his clients from capital punishment.  That's what I would do if I represented Saddam.  I would argue that he's not a sadistic criminal that deserves the death penalty, instead he was a politcal strongman that did his best to protect his country in a region where it's kill or be killed.  I would argue that life in prison is sufficient punishment.
