Little note for all the people who aren't that informed on the topic. The U.S. had nothing to do with the trial, besides finding Saddam. The trial is being held by Iraqis.

I hope he suffers before he dies.

The mis-informed (Dems) are saying it's political (of course) due to the fact that it's coming out just before voting week buuuut.... it's been announced for over a week that they'd be coming out witha verdict this week sometime.

Saddam's going to need a new tailor and get resized for a new neck size.

Because what happened two weeks ago wouldn't affect the elections.

Nothing will be resolved by his death, nothing will be changed other than a guy who's been in prison for the past couple of years will get executed. That's it.

Shiites and Sunniis will still be at ends, Iraq will still be the same, dismal, hellhole that it is, and America will gain nothing from this. If we're there to liberate and westernize the Iraqi people, society, and government, then it would be hypocritical of us to even allow a hanging, possibly a nationally televised hanging at that, to take part. Why keep sending mixed messages, saying one thing and doing the other? Why claim to be westernizing the Iraqi people yet encourage them in practicing forms of capital punsihment that the western world has deemed inhumane?

We can only lose in this deal...there's nothing to gain...

Funny, they still take out hard criminals here in Florida. It looks like not all of the western world shares the same idealisms now do they? An eye for an eye my friend and if they take out Saddam he's still ahead by thousands and thousands. You really don't think this guy deserves to die do you? -

Westernize? Who's using those words???? Common knowledge that he has been on trial, common knowledge that a verdict would be reached this week, not common knowledge that we are westernizing Iraq, Iran, North Korea, BFE and Hell.

Who encourages them to televise beheadings? Helllllooooo, their TV stations (aka Al Jazeera) are not owned and operated by americans. Do you see the Amnesty Inc, HRO, or any of the others going to Iraq or anywhere else and saying "Hey Stop beheading people!" Nope, people like them end up with live nades in their pockets or blindfolded and pitched off rooftops. Reporters who support that type of news coverage get their throats cut (televised).

People who support beliefs should, up to a point. Find out the facts for yourself. Guard the border, go to Iraq, join the service, serve your country as a page, do something except take some disgruntled teacher's rantings as truths.
