I don't see the correlation? I'm assuming you mean rape... but please, let's not get into that.

I thought you were all for the hanging... You wanted him to "rot in hell." I guess we can all have a change of heart, though.

Yeah, I was all into the hanging and having his body rot in hell, but when I really thought about it, hes human too, and i guess he got his punishment even though i may or may not fully agree with the method used.

I dont think the death penalty was what he deserved for what he did to those people. He didnt deserve the death penalty at all because it would've all benefited him. He can just innocently kill over 150 people, more counting and get away with all of this by getting hanged? WOW, so does that mean i can go around and kill over 100 people and just get hanged? 1 life for 100 +++? My opinion to this is, he should've been tortured, extreme torture and give him a taste of his own medicine.

well can you say the same for Bush?

he did have people?
innocent lives in Iraq killed (over half a million, thats right over 500,000) all because of his own business and political benefits.
not to mention the american soldiers who died (3000+)

cant you say that Bush deserves torture, equal if not even greater than what you say what Saddam Hussein deserved?
OK then lets open up the gallows for Bush.

im not justifying what Saddam did to his own people, but he actually kept order and control over the region, instead of the !@#$hole it turned into after the war.

BTW, Saddam only tried to take his own lands (Kuwait).
Kuwait was Iraqi territory for 100's of years, until western nations made it independent. Oh and the news never mentioned anything about the oil the kuwaiti companies were siphoning off from Iraq by drilling under Iraqs borders.

Iraq did not exist until the Sykes-Picot Agreement in 1920.

Before then, it was part of the Ottoman Empire.

Kuwait was created in 1613, as a trading city. In 1913, the British agreed to keep Kuwait independent, but subordinate to the Ottoman Empire until the end of WWI, when the British invaded, and set it up as an independent Sheikdom, subordinate to themselves.

When Kuwait left the British Protectorate in 1961, Iraq tried to claim it as a historical part of Iraq (which it never was part of, at least not since Iraq was Mesopotamia) but the British would not let them. Iraq recognized their independence two years later in 1963.

How much of what you post do you check, and how much do you take someone else's word for?
