I know that Saddam is a bad guy and has blood on his hands.

But he's not a player in America's struggle. We're in an ideological, philosophical and religious battle with Islam, not every self-appointed despot who has a history of brutality. He's become nothing more than a footnote to the wider and resurgent Islamic belligerence.

If truth be told, I bet bin Laden and Zawahiri think we've done them a favor by removing this guy and allowing Islamic radicals to call the shots in Iraq.

No surprise that the NYSlimes is editorializing against death for the miserable piece of garbage.

His hanging will be a day of rejoicing for many in his country. A small win for the people he brutally murdered.

Hope this is a sign that we are going to ramp up our efforts in Baghdad too. Time to kill the madmen who are killing innocent people.

He seems to be taking this pretty well. But if he thinks his 72 virgins are waiting in heaven, he has one big surprise coming to him. 72 fallen angels in hell, yes.

What the heck are you talking about? The point is if people avoid doing anything because it will irritate a muslim then nothing will ever get done. Who cares what muslims like or hate?

And you're correct - you aren't one of my A$$hole friends - I'm not sure whose A$$hole friend you are, but you apparently aren't mine.

Hope that helps. Have a nice day.

Tell him we're happy also. ^_~

I strongly disagree with your statement.

Thanks for the alert.

It is time to go forward, and it is fitting to put an end to this nightmare, I will be glad when it is over and the future can be dealt with.

Why bother with the Lord of the Rings. Read John's Revelation and note now a demon army will be released from beneath the Euphrates.

Because the trial was far from a normal proceeding, with judges and lawyers dropping in and out of the case, a quick verdict, and an even quicker appeals process?

Of course a normal trial doesn't see the judges and lawyers, on both sides, under constant threat of death. As to a quick verdict, I thought the trial took an awful long time, with lots of weeks long "recesses". I was impressed with the speed of the appeals though. Ours should be so expeditious.

Heads of state, in particular dictators are normally executed because they have a loyal following that can rise up to support their leader again while he is in prison.

In other words he needs killing.
