I still maintain that the kid that found the prick would have done the world a favor by shooting him on site. Perhaps taking lots of time doing so.
It really was a boring trial for us. Pretty redundant.
I can't say that I'm upset that he didn't get his wish.

From what I remember the kid that found him was Iraqi wearing an American uniform and said he would have love to kill him.

Dont take this too seriously, its just a passing thought.
Maybe they should set the guy free.
Saddam may be the only guy since God ruled Eden that has been able to maintain some control over that part of the world.
Though his tactics were brutal and unacceptable to the rest of us, he did keep the people in line over there.
The citizens of Iraq are certainly not bowing to the current ways.
Maybe a little job sharing should be instituted. Put him back in partial charge. Any foothold Al queda has gotten since the U.S. invaded would be eliminated in short time.
The death rate of the people continues without him at an even higher rate but now it comes from all sides.
WMD required.
Just a thought as its about to get even uglier over there with the sentencing.

Just a personal view,
If the US Airforce didnt stop bombing Hanoi ( North Vietnam ) after only 3 days in 1945 but continued long enough to wipe the Communists out of the country, there wouldnt be over 50 millions people suffering now ....

I agree with you MJ. I'm afraid there will be retribution OVER HERE once they hang him.
One thing for sure -- our kids over there are going to be in a lot more danger than they have been.
Put him in jail and keep him there, but hanging is a little more than the Muslins are ready for.

Seems more likely its alot less, they thrive on beheadings and slaughter. The bloodier and violent the better, it'll be a family event.

I honestly cant believe they took him alive either.....and i cant believe he allowed himself to be taken alive.
Does anyone know if this international court has a mandatory appeal?
I think this whole trial is making a mockery of the USA and it's Coalition - a.k.a. Great Brittland.
but that's just me

The death sentences automatically go to a nine-judge appeals panel, which has unlimited time to review the case. If the verdicts and sentences are upheld, the executions must be carried out within 30 days.
A court official told The Associated Press that the appeals process was likely to take three to four weeks once the formal paperwork was submitted. If the verdicts are upheld, those sentenced to death would be hanged despite Saddam's second, ongoing trial for allegedly murdering thousands of Iraq's Kurdish minority.
Taken from a good article covering the trial at the following link:
http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/saddam-hussein-receives-death-sente nce/20061103125609990008
It's not over yet, folks. This is just the beginning.

The idea of turning him loose on his own people because he was the only one that ever kept the mullahs at bay has appeal and it was embraced by the powers that be so long as he bought WMDs from us and kept Iranians busy.
You're not alone in this.

It long amused me that under Brittish (and Oz) law, people had to certified medically fit by a doctor before they could be executed. Wonder how we CHeads would have got on.

Ramp up the troop levels,
send the country to condition red,
and lets take the war on terror to the next level!
I figure we got about 25 more years of war before we put a good dent in the terrorist numbers and their will to continue.

Executing Saddam can easely turn him in to a martyr for his own people,and who will gain on that
2
Iraq is on the way to be a "bottomless"swamparea for you americans as Vietnam was for you americans back in the 50-75,or have you all forgotten that already?
3
All the wars going on around the world these times can very well be the start on WW3"god forbid"
Just my 2 cents worth in this subject

Not so my Norse friend. We were kicking ass in Nam. Never lost a batlle. The bombing was taking a definite toll. Trouble was the whiney spinless back home got the politicians all scared about votes so they held backand fought a half-assed war.
That's why I hate to see the same thing happening now. Time to do it and do it all the way!

Battles are great if you have an enemy with conventional forces. Not so good if the opponent is a guerilla force.
We put half a million troops in Viet Nam. We dropped more munitions on Vietnam than was dropped by all sides in all of WWII. The loss wasn't due to to half-assedness - it was because the war was directed by half-wits that were unable to recognize the situation, and unable to tell the truth to the American public. Kinda like what we have going on today.
