Or, a lot of people watch NASCAR in the hope of seeing a great wreck.
It's just human nature.
If your or my country televised executions that stations ratings would be the the highest in television history. People would say how terrible and ghoulish it was but you can bet your boots they'll be watching the next one too.
Human nature.

Yep it's like how they'll never stop rubbernecking at highway accidents.

Finally, one less dictator on the planet.

peterloo · 12-31-06, 10:21 PM

executed already... I'm much less interested in that, as he didn't have much influence on me

Said to commit and found guility of "crime against humanity"... I didn't know whether America made this up(Bush had made many stuff up, to support his war in Iraq), but sources showed me about that he really commit that

HISTORY will tell us the turth

Whatever you are smoking, put it down and get rid of it.

Saddam did in fact commit crimes against humanity by massacreing civilians, it is an undisputable fact.

If you mean: "Who helped him stay in power during the Iranian/Iragi war (aka 'Gulf War')?" the answer is: Almost the whole world, including Russia, France, Britain and the USA. He was at that time considered less of a threat than Ayatolla Khomeini.
If you mean: "Who helped him gass the Kurds?" the answer is: His inner circle and a Dutch salesman who delivered the ingredients for mustard gas to Saddam and who was convicted to 20 years of jail in october 2005.
If you mean: "Who helped him slaughter the opposition?" the answer should be: His inner circle and the secret police.
Saddam will not be the only one who to be judged, I guess...

....Im guilty for that....

Sadam's death came 20 or so years too late. Too bad the SOF dudes who found him hiding didn't pour some kerosene in the hole and "drop" a ciggerette....that man was sick.

I think he was referring specifically to the term "crimes against humanity", i.e., not asking whether Saddam had committed them, but who invented the term. A justified question I think, after all, killing enemy leaders is a well established tradition in human history, but doing it because of "crimes against humanity" seems to be a rather recent phenomenon.

bradclark1 · 01-01-07, 07:30 PM

It was first used in 1915 against the Ottoman Goverment. The term was also used in the Nuremberg Trials so I wouldn't call it recent.

Care to clarify the comment Peter?

If your concern is the actual quote "crimes against humanity" I understand your point, if your point is to doubt that he did such activity, please do a little looking around on the web. There are facts that prove his guilt.

baggygreen · 01-01-07, 10:58 PM

Oh he was guilty as buggery. A girl i Went to Uni with was Iraqi, a kurd. She was granted asylum a number of years ago. She has with her a photo of her grandfather, curled up horribly with pain etched into his face before he died of gas. Two reasons she carries such a troubling photo - one is that its the only one she has of him, and the other is that she takes it out and shows the 'socialist alternative' wackos that yeh, crap like this did happen. You know their reaction? laughed and called her a liar and pathetic worm of the 'imperialist capitalist bush pig'.

he went to visit the quack shortly thereafter, courtesy of a high-heeled kick to the groin and face.

Without any will to enter a death penalty discussion, I just wish to point out that my argument against DP has never been moral but practical. There is a chance of error, which is intolerable to me.

With Saddam it looks however that there was no error...must reconsider my arguments :hmm:

Ah, see that...I was right in my arguments then

Although I have never been a fan of spanish movies, there are some very nice ones. Some years ago there was a movie that told a fictional story about a man who was kidnapped by the secret police and used as a double of Franco. Because of his continuous performance and his progressive friendship with the true one, he finally continued when the real Franco died, and is supposed to be the man now buried in the Franco memorial "Valle de los Caídos". A nice story, a movie I liked to see back then. And who knows how much truth or fiction may be on it.....

So no death penalty for practical reasons. Who knows if the guy cutting Kebab on the restaurant in the corner is the one of gasified the kurds, and the one who was hung is the guy who used to cut Kebab??

Thanks God there was never a trial against Elvis.....
