I think nothing about them.\n\nAs for this hanging thing????? I won't believe it unless I can see it for myself and even then I would still question whether it was a look alike.\n\nAll of it sounds like a "wag the dog", if you ask me.

yes i believe a small or mayb a large section the baath ( hope i've spelled that right ) sect of iraq society will martyr saddam.\nprobably not on the scale of buddha.  but enough 2 leave a power-struggle or a vacuum in an already destabilised country.\ni think the toppling of a dictator well/may make a continuing civil war in iraq 4 decades 2 come.\nthanx gw, \nhow thoughtful and sensible, NOT!\nthe lack of consideration by 1 texan village idiot & what he'll do 2 steal oil, hasn't escaped a growing band of disgruntled westerners attention & left us thinking was it really worth it.

Hilter said give me Poland and I would stop. We know what happene there. Husseun given all the oil money would have a nucleur bomb and guess what he would do? Give those Weapons to terrorist and bomb us so either get him now or lose many lives next. History repeats itself and if you think Iraq would behave itself then I got a bridge to sell you.

I'm freaking speechless...How does an armed militant faction become the most powerful party in Iraq??? the world is coming to an end as we know it...I think there is going to be a lot more chaos down in the middle east.

NATO supports dictators to keep enemies out of office, remember Saddam?  We supported him to keep the Shiite theocracy out of Iraq.  Lesser of two evils.

I agree, the day we pulled Saddam out of the hole is the day we should have packed up and left.\n\nPerhaps going in there and saying "We're getting Saddam" had some merit, but this whole "spread democracy" thing was ridiculous.  We don't even have democracy in the US.

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 ....

Check the Democrat's plan for radical islamic threats to America:\n\nhttp://democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=262588\n\nYou're welcome.

Oh I just laugh at how they think we killed Zarqawi months ago and froze him so that we could announce his death at the time that it was best for us. Or how we have Bin Laden in a cage and we're waiting for the perfect time to say that we caught him. Or how Bush stole the election. Funny, do democrats still say all of this stuff when a Democrat is in office? I think the answer is obvious.

"Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been convicted of crimes against humanity by a Baghdad court and sentenced to death by hanging. \nHe was found guilty over his role in the killing of 148 people in the mainly Shia town of Dujail in 1982."\nWhy is he sentenced?Because elections are nearby so Bush must prove somehow that he is making progresses in his "war against terror"...

The timing is very suspicious. It also makes me wonder if Bush cares enough about our soldiers' safety. He says the Iraqis are fighting more now to get people in the US to vote for the Democrats (a vote for the Democrats, is, therefore, a vote for the terrorists). If there is already extra violence because of the upcoming US election, why add fuel to the fire with a sentence against Saddam at this very moment??

I think we went in not realizing that liberals in our country would support Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, Syrian and Iranian insurgents. Democrats backed these forces with their statements everyday. Ted Kennedy's statements end up in Al Jazeera everyday. How could we have stopped the Democrats from supporting the enemy? Good question! \n\n    Oh by the way, we tried to get the U.N. involved...the Secretary generals son, Germany, France and Russian were taking bribes from Saddam Husein in the (oil for food program) and would not vote on the counsel with us. France and Russia even gave tactical advice to Saddam while we were moving in on his troops. Don't hand me your UN crap.

how about some evidence to that remark...this question is right out of O'Reilly's handbook...start with a falsehood that supports your position and form a question around it.  \n\nI don't think they care...and as a matter of fact, we may be stronger with both political parties in compromise and showing a unified front to them...your comments and those like them help the enemy more than any constructive political dissent and compromise.\n\nAs far as Al Queda supporting Democrats, it's rediculous and just propaganda on their part...it appears you would believe a terrorist above a Democrat...You're letting the nuts win...we are in this together....The Democrats have some in their ranks that want to leave Iraq...I want to BE ABLE TO LEAVE IRAQ...we can't reduce America in response to terrorism by abandoning the rule of law.  I voted Democrat because of the President's excesses, not because I wanted to leave Iraq tomorrow...it also seemed that the Admin. was doing nothing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and only had complete military victory in Iraq (a government modeled after ours and pro-west) as a way out of this...The President seems single minded and by that I mean simplistic without using other fronts to insulate us like alternative energy and conservation...He is a Military Capitalist and cannot think outside of that box without real cooperation and dissent from opposing parties...he has to be made to listen to other ideas.

If you a referring to Iraq, who's is your friend over there that Saddam was troubling?

I'm watching CNN, and he has been sentenced to death by hanging!\n\nIf Saddam is killed Iraq could decend into civil war. There is a appeals process, so it could be a while.\n\nI REPEAT HE HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO DEATH.

My money is on Muqtada al-Sadr, one of the al Mahdi army or one of Iran's SVAMA agents. Lots of Shiites would like to be rid of Saddam himself.

No. It is Al Qaida which was fuelling Saddam's hatred against the USA. His death will not deter them as they are a Jehadi suicidal group. Their total annihilation should be at the top of the agenda for war against global terrorism. His death might herald democracy and 'Limited government' under a lasting Constitution towards which the progressive Muslims should strive.
