CHICAGO The Reverend Jesse Jackson says U-S forces should not turn Saddam Hussein over to the Iraqi government for execution.
Jackson says that to allow the former Iraqi leader to be hanged as what he calls "a war trophy" would be a "barbarity" that would only inflame tensions.
Jackson says making Saddam spend the rest of his life in prison would be a better way to "break the cycle of violence in Iraq."

Maybe he's got a place for Saddam on the Rainbow Coalition?

Jesse, why don't you worry about the cycle of violence in the black community rather than thinking you know how to end the cycle of violence in Iraq, especially since you're so stupid you don't realize leaving a tyrannt alive would keep the possibility of a return to power alive in the minds of many Iraqi terrorists and thus motivate them to continue to fight, and other Iraqis fearful of cooperating with coalition forces. Now crawl back under your rock loser.

Jesse is upset because this is detracting from the James Brown memorials which are detracting from the Gerald Ford memorials on the MSM.
Ya can't win!

I'm personally opposed to the death penalty,
but I wouldn't want to impose my morals on the Iraqi people.

Jesse needs to retire with Cater down on the peanut farm. They can sit and eat peanuts and figure out the world's problems.
