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.

No, we are not just like those who behead civilians. No one in the U.S. is calling for the extinction of Arabs and no one here claims all people who don't share their religious views should be killed. We ar not arming suicide bombers or paying their families for their sacrifice. Saddam did those things. War is not a joke and there is such a thing as collateral damage. The people in Europe laid low and let the allies and axis powers fight it out in the streets. They suffered civilian casualties, but they did not aggravate then death toll by sparking an insurgency or demonstrating and subjecting their own to the war.

Iraqi civilians living in their country and US & UK soldiers are occupiers. Is it clear?\n\nYou may say allieds removed Saddam and did somethings for freedom and .....\nBut all of these answers are rehash. US soldiers are in Iraq and Afghanistan just for US benefits, NOT FOR DEMOCRACY.\nYou should know, someone like "Saddam" was supported by US several times because at that time US policy and benefits was so.\n\nIf I want to make a decision between innocent peope and professional soldiers, I'll select innocent people who are living in their country and if they had some problems with their leader, it wasn't their fault. It was related to aliens policy and benefits.\n\n> Saddam was one of US friends for a long time, untill US policy was change.\n\n>> Don't forget, allieds are in Iraq and Afghanistan and they are killing innocent people and unarmed men, women and children with some nonsense excuses, SO ALLIEDS ARE ENEMIES.\nI bet, if you was an Iraqi, you was an enemy and of course you tried to kill allieds because they are killing Iraqi people.\n\n>>> Have you ever seen (On TV and movies) ordinary people's resistance against Hitler's army during WWII?\nWho could say, those people were insurgents and saboteurs except of Nazies?

It's a bit late to reinstate Saddam, but maybe now stupid Americans can understand why he was a successful ruler.   As for him gassing Kurds....well DUH, they were his political enemies, and that's what dictators do: they destroy their opponents.   I'd like to add that as many as 600,000 Iraqi civiilans have died in the present conflict, so what's worse?   To be destroyed by your own government, or a foreign invader?

Many citizens of Iraq supported Saddam.  He was put into his role in Iraq by the hands of American politicians during the Reagan era.   The Iraqi people know that.  They may have had it hard before this conflict started, but basically, they have lost their world as they know it.  They could at least live and go about their business if they accepted the rules of Saddam's regime.  Now they have lost anything they ever had.  \n\nYes, I think it will have a terrible, adverse effect on America and it is a serious matter we should all be worried about.  We are not liberators in Iraqi's eyes.

If we celebrate the conviction of Saddam, then we should also convict our own President, as he is just as guilty of "war crimes" as Saddam and then we should celebrate his conviction as well. As far as I know, Bin Laden is still in hiding, although I am sure our President has always known where he is and will never bring him to justice...Bin Laden didn't have a personal feud with Daddy Bush, only Saddam. Just my opinion folks...don't come down on me too hard, but I'm not in favor of this war in Iraq, and I feel we have no business there. When all the weapons of mass destruction were NEVER found, we should have high tailed it back home and let those people live in peace or at least live the way they are accustomed to, there has always been holy wars over there and we have no business in a holy war with them or anyone else for that matter.

Im currently serving in Iraq with the army, and I truly believe it's not the american people worrying about the way he died. The american people are fine in knowing that the evil witch is dead. But the press is going to make it a big hype for the the next best story. The american press Sucks! I am in great dislike knowing the means that they go to, to get a story. I mean look at this marine ordeal, they have considered them all guilty before even a trial. When if you would do some research you would see the fact so far to them killing innocent people intentionally are discredited. My suggestion is quit worry about what these idiots care about and educate yourself on true facts. Go to www.boredsoldier.blogspot.com Thats a site my friend here in Iraq has started, hear your news from soldiers. Not a peanut gallery that knows only propaganda!

What saddens me was reading about the death of "Al-Zarqawi" and the quote by bush.."Justice"\n\nThe responses by Americans disgusted me. \n\nHow can justice be served by dropping bombs on people? \nDoesn't that make America just as "bad" as the other side.\n\nActually i think America and Americans in general are some pretty  messed up people.

Poor Abooodi, are you expecting mercy from your lashers?\nI will not generalize but most of those who answered your question and supporting the US "Democracy and Freedom" are no more than the other face of the dirty coin which the US administration occupies its other face, particularly this boastful Mr. EX, who doesn't feel shy at all to support the invaders of his country, why not while he is laying in their lap now and still boasts about being patriot, not only that but claims the right to say DO and DON'T, just to know every Arab whether Moslem or non-Moslem has the right to defend the whole Arab world as long as he is patriot not betrayer, just look at Christians in Palestine they are fighting beside the Moslems against the tyranny of the Jewish occupation. No body has called the damn Americans to free the Iraqi people from the tyranny pf Saddam, although no one liked Saddam including the writer, but still Saddam is better than the foreign invaders who came to rob the wealth of Arab and Moslem countries, those who speak a bout terrorism and blood shedding should feel shy of them selves , because if they read the history well they will know that on top of terrorist nations and regimes sits the USA nation (to be precise not in general)  and the successive governments in general, and the American history is a living wittiness that America was founded on the skulls of red Indians, Americans has started their history as invaders and still continue to play the same dirty game, remember the first and the second world wars it was mainly between you western countries of civilizations , how many the Arabs and Moslems killed from you through out the whole history including the invasion of Moslems to your countries during the early Islamic expansion and include even the victims of 9/11? What ever the figure is, it can never be compared to your crimes against humanity, against other nations and even against your own Christian people during the world wars. Those who claim stupidly that the lashers didn't take the USA administration permission to execute their crimes against Iraqi armless people; can they dare to say also that the criminal pilots who dropped the atomic bombs on Japan and killed on the spot 240,000 and left hundreds of thousands suffering the atomic radiation effects until to day can he say that they didn't take the permission? 10 million people were killed during the First World War, 55 millions were killed in World War 2, ooops you don't believe me? OK go and search Encarta Encyclopedia and you will find the dreadful truth and then you Americans and western people who still support the tyranny will discover who the Real Terrorists are. Please people wake up before it's too late.

Hi there,\n\nI think the reason is to show off America's power or their greed for power.\n\nHere's why I think so-\n\nThe USA first attacked Iraq and captured Saddam Hussein near Tikrit. The reason Mr.Bush gave for that is that the USA suspects some biological weapons in Iraq.\n\nAfter the war was over but nothing revealed, Mr.Bush apologized for this bliss by saying that he received false intelligence reports. Now that's easy, it's the same thing as I kick you hard and then apologize. Whatever the damage should be done, it was done. \n\nSo I think the reason for these attacks is not any terrorist threat to USA or the greed for oil, but it is just to show off it's power to the world after the attack of Sep 11th. I just think it is a ploy to scare away the people. It means something like Mr.Bush wants to say "We are rich, we are powerful, we can do anything, so don't mess with us."\n\nI don't mean to offend all the Americans out there. I just told you my opinion about the attacks. If I offended anyone, my sincere apologies. And let me make it clear, I'm not being partial to Mr.Hussein. I think he ruled Iraq for quite some time with an iron fist.\n\nI just told you my opinion frankly, but anyone of you here are free to disagree with this. After all, everyone has their own thought process. \n\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

I don't. In fact, the overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of President Bush. But many Americans believe that deposing Saddam Hussein will bring a new era of freedom and prosperity to Iraq and give the West a much-needed ally in that area. His supporters are more optimistic than most people about progress in Iraq and hopefully they'll turn out to be right.

... that's an excellent question... apparently Saddam (who killed no one on American soil) is more important than Osama (who killed 3,000 on American soil).... It doesn't make sense to me...\n\nIf Osama does attack again.... as far as I'm concerned... it's over for the Repubs... you don't give someone another chance to hit you after he kills 3,000 ... that's just stupid...\n\nAnd many say Osama's not a threat... with NO EVIDENCE TO BACK IT UP... they don't even know where he is or what he's doing? yet they say Kerry was weak on defense? HOW CAN YOU GET WEAKER THAN THIS?\n\nI CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT SO OFTEN SAY "YOUR A PANSY" JUST LET THE LIVES OF 3,000 GO WITH NO REAL CARE FOR THE MAN THAT MURDERED THEM... THEY MAKE ME, WHO'S LEANS TO THE LIBERAL, LOOK LIKE THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES... OR MAYBE I'M JUST SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT THAT IRAQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 9-11?\n\nAND SOMEONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT WIRE TAPPING... THIS IS 3,000 LIVES ON U.S. SOIL... THAT'S COMPLETELY OFF THE SUBJECT?

Remember we have a thousand year of history behind us and have survived and co-exsisited. Saddam was installed in power by the Americans. He was financed and armed by the US(to combat Iran). We now have another American puppet in power. Then we paid the price of America's mistakes and today again we are paying the price of America's mistakes with our lives. All we want is America to get out of Iraq and we will solve our own problems. The sectarian violence will not cease unless American's leave our country. They are doing more harm tham good with there presence. Dont they realise, we dont want there "democracy" or way of life. Just let us be. We dont need any help from the Americans. GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW.

You are an absolute idiot. Stop listening to the media and actually attempt to find the truth in this matter. I have three siblings who went to Iraq several times each and all have said how much they love Americans for getting rid of their tyrannical dictator. If we benefit while we are over there, is that not a fair trade?? This is a highly mutualistic proposition for both countries, and the only really bad thing about is that it has cost the U.S. a bundle.

i think americans should mind their own business and stop going over into other countrys getting our ppl killed. im sure most ppl believe what we are doing is good and in some ways i can see that too.... but how often do you see a troop from iran coming over here fighting crime for us???? enough siad

Absolutely agree, I think they want to see Americans dead, and have been responsible for many deaths of Americans, albeit covertly. The US should do what it must when attacked by a foreign nation, to declare war.

Look at the long-term involvement of the US in Iraq.  Was it ever justified?  Did it ever make sense?  If you marry a psychopath, do you expect them to be loving, kind, and gentle?  Stupid past policies of the last few decades got the US to where it is today.  I'm STILL shocked that people think Regan was a great president.  You think the Iran-Contra scandal made Iraqis happy??  Selling weapons to their worst enemies?!\n\nAmerica has a knack for forgetting how stupid it was in the past.  Now you wonder why we are paying so much (via lost economic vitality).  Well, it's called paying for past stupidity.  Coming next: who will pay for the lie called "trickle down theory?"  Right now, the wealth is not trickling, but rushing to those in the know to invest in arms stocks in the 1990s (including the Saudis, Bin Ladens, and China).  Meanwhile, the rest of us Americans must be either ignorant, complacent, or disempowered.\n\nAnd yet, someone was stuck with breaking the political, economic, and military destructive stalemate of sanctions against Iraq from 15 years ago.  It was a lousy reason for a war.  Oil for FOOD?  Hello!  That's not exactly fair trade - that's raping an economy.  Someone had to take responsibility for putting Saddam Hussein in power... Who could it be, hmmm??  The GREAT SATAN?  Well, ok, maybe that's not us, but maybe you should get a grip on how someone else can say that.  How else do you describe someone that would arm Iraq with chemical weapons and sell Iran M-16s when they are at war with one another?\n\nSo, WMDs?  Bullshit.  The US was totally ok with it in the 1980s.  The greatest problem with the Saddam trial is the US government is probably too afraid to declassify the incriminating files that point to our government, yet prove - via US involvment - that he had WMDs.\n\nDon't forget: this is the same government that in turns practiced or turned a blind eye to genocide of Native Americans.  The US is not so morally special.\n\nLast, but not least, determining the morals of other countries for them is defacto imperialism.  We are Pax Romana.  We are Hail Britannia.  And like every other brainless empire that marginalizes those ruled abroad, we must inevitably fail.\n\nFreedom is a matter of personal responsibility.  You can't have someone else come in and do it for you.  That's not freedom.  That's trading one set of shackles for another.  Maybe the new ones will have a fuzzy trim, but they are still shackles.\n\nWithdraw?  Well, Bush is honest about that at least.  We dove head-first into a slurry pit.  You can't then turn around and pretend like it didn't happen.  Nobody would be fooled.  The opportunity to stop the war was 6 years ago and America blew it then and did again in 2004.  We screw it up again and again when we forget to demand investigations into how our national security was bungled because it isn't as fun and entertaining as a sex scandal.  I'm not sure how many Americans DIED because of that sex scandal.  I hope not as many as died in Iraq.  Nothing is more disrespectful to our troops as saying that ML was more of a disaster than the Iraq situation.\n\nBottom line: It's not about supporting our troops or having patriotism.  You can do those things AND hate this war.
