Any time we get our hands on one, you betchya.

To "get your hands" on a dictator, it's usually necessary to invade their country and go to war. Minor detail.

Unless you'd rather just compensate him for his losses, and reinstall him in Iraq.

I take it you're one of those who believe that the current anarchic, terrorist-infested swamp is an improvement over Hussein's Iraq? The truth is, we've totally destabilized Iraq which is far closer to being an Islamic republic than it ever was under Hussein. You know, if you really wanted to punish Hussein, you could cut him loose and tell him to restore order to that chaotic country. We surely can't. Nor will we.

The only question is how many Americans have to die before we figure that out.

It would probably be too much even for Hussein. His power structure now in ruins (thanks to us) he would simply be swallowed by the al-Qaeda thugs who now effectively control Iraq.

Still, we need a trophy, don't we? Something to which we can point while saying proudly "mission accomplished!!". So we'll hang Saddam while the bombs and carnage continue unabated.

I think we need to end this. I believe that captured mass-murderous tyrants should be executed; You do not.

Let us leave it at that. Neither of us is willing to change our minds.

If the 'Rats in Congress get their way, and we cut and run, the Shiites, aided by the Iranians, will eat Al Qaida in Iraq alive, or rather dead.
