OK, now that Saddam is in custody, what do you think should be done with him? Look past all the "issues" surrounding his capture and detention, and say what should be done with him. I think he should be turned over to the raqis, and put on trial, whre he will most certainly end his life in a public execution. he iraqis are the ones he terrrized, the Iraqis should get the right to try him, then hang him from a lamp post in that square where we toppled his statue. If we let this so called "world court" get involved in any way, there will be no justice. they will him haw around and debate about rights and this and that, and all the liberals will protest, it will be a circus. Let the iraqis try him, then do away with him. the last thing we need is some long trial like slobadan is getting, get it over with.

Honestly, when they found him someone should have put one round right between the eyes and ended all the political bull over this piece of trash.

But now that things are going the way they are I agree with you. Maybe they should turn him over to some of the people he tortured.

The Iraqis suffered under him, they should be allowed to pass judgment on him.

I completely agree. The Iraqis are the only ones who deserve to try him, and there are no more fair (or harsh) judges in the world.

Yes the Iraqis have suffered greatly under him and all want SH to die...to me, all the more reason to let the iraqis try him.

Wait only Halliburton and Bechtel have the capacity to re-build the country but despensing justice, well Iraqi's are ready!

Even Germans weren't allowed to try their murderous leaders.

Let the world court handle this. If you believe Bush's lies, he was a threat to the world. Right?

I would be more inclinded to go with a system that isn't so bias.

While the idea of giving him to the Iraqi justice system is appealing, Pepper does make a good point.

But I don't believe Bush's lies. Thus, leave him to the Iraqis.

Iraqis must try SH. But one large army must surround him at all times. An example must be made to others that the very people you mistreat may one day judge you for previous actions.No matter what pedestal the tyrant may think he is on,or how untouchable.
The U.S. must must totally appear to be out of the picture at the trial except for security purposes.
There will be no appeal. Iraqi justice is usually swift.
I just wonder who will defend him? And on what grounds?
Will his lawyer be safe in Iraq?

yes, and hitler promised the german people a chicken in every pot and a car in every driveway. also, german's unity was national: hitler didn't torture his own people you retard.

yer damn right, an american willing to actively pursue terrorists into nation-states that support them? it IS a threat to the world, and one that is getting the job done so far as i can tell.

Uh, MajiPirate, you said Hitler didn't torture his own people??? Gadzooks!!! You ever hear of the Brown Shirt's tactics and what clinched Uncle Adolf's power over the German state??? You thought it wuz ONLY his nouns and verbs???

I've noticed a strong sentiment by many (not necessarily on THIS board-- WE are all reasonable!) that it would be an outrage fer Saddam ta be given a fair trial... 'Cuz after all, we already KNOW he's guilty of everythin' our unbiased media and government TOLD us! Well, fer all you who are just gonna be heart-broken that I may disagree, don't worry...

...'cuz Saddam AIN'T gonna get a fair trial! How's THAT gonna happen when anybody who MIGHT speak on his behalf is likely ta be seized as an enemy combatant? And anythin' HE says is lies, just lies! And any PHYSICAL proof he may have is likely to be suppressed due ta "national security." Which kinda leaves Saddam hangin'... so breathe easy!

Am I sayin' I think Saddam is a good guy? Nope! Am I sayin' I just don't know what Saddam DID do and what he DIDN'T do? Yep. But even if Saddam WERE to be found innocent, by "mistake", of course, he IS a ruined man... He lost his fortune, homes, sons, and power... He's too old to start over-- even if his country wuzn't bein' occupied by a super-power... Have you noticed he ain't smilin' lately?

I DO find it interestin' that there are so many who believe gettin' a FAIR trial automatically HAS ta mean Saddam bein' found innocent. Are they afraid of the possibility? Anywayz, I'm just a, you know, Dem, so that's inevitably the way I tend ta think... EVERYBODY should git a fair trial, just as our forefathers said... Hey, it ain't so bad, just make sure I'm put on YER jury if the time ever comes...

My ideas may not be so popular these days... In fact, I'll go further and say they AREN'T popular these days! (I've had threats...) But hey, at least I wuz allowed ta express how I feel...

Thanks fer listenin'...

They might as well put him back in power -- he couldn't do any worse than these clowns now running the show.

Meet the new boss -- same as the old boss.

LMAO

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.......that's what you're really worried-about, huh? (http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=16210)

"The documents make it clear that were the trial of Hussein to be held by an impartial world court, it would prove an embarrassing two-edged sword for the White House, calling into question the motives of U.S. foreign policy. If there were a complete investigation into those who aided and abetted Hussein's crimes against humanity, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and former Secretary of State George Shultz would probably end up as material witnesses.

That administration's eye was not on the carnage from chemical weapons but rather the profit to be obtained from the flow of oil. In a later meeting with an Iraqi representative, as recorded in the minutes, "Eagleburger explained that because of the participation of Bechtel in the Aqaba pipeline, the Secretary of State [Shultz] is keeping completely isolated from the issue. Iraq should understand that this does not imply a lack of high-level [U.S. government] interest." (Shultz had been chief executive of Bechtel before joining the Reagan administration and is currently a director of the company, which is signing contracts for work in Iraq as fast as U.S. taxes can be allocated.)"

LOL, you crack me up with these insanely idiotic links that give away ben and jerrys, LMAO. Another fool who believes everything he see on the internet, "well if its on the internet, it must be true!!!" LMAO

Yeah.......we wouldn't want the Iraqis to find-out who FINANCED their suffering!!! (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/)

After all.......we had to get Iran (with Hussein's help), after the trouble we started there blew-up, in our face!!!!! (http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0822/p08s01-wome.html)

No doubt!!!!

The folks, over there, are well-aware of what happens, when WE influence the situation!! (http://www.counterpunch.org/vaseghi1.html)

"US-backed regimes in the Middle East are not particularly well known for their commitments to democratic development and human rights. Under the Shah, whose regime was installed and supported by the US, Iranians lived in terror of his security service."

Whoops!!! I forgot my patriotic-duties!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! WHY DO THEY HATE US!!!!!!!!!
