Re: Saddam's Execution

Yeah, let's just go over to the middle east and kill everyone because they all might have been behind 9/11.

I don't see why people are so happy about him being executed. What has he done that you have ever seen first hand? He could be a made up person and you'd never even know, so why care about it? Yeah, sure, I'm sure that he really is a real person and that he really did terrible things, but I just don't see how people can care when it doesn't affect them. I mean, I guess you could have a relative or friend in Iraq, but the US invaded Iraq, not the other way around. We instigated the fight.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Don't be so easily swayed. Support his execution, sure, that's fine, but be happy about it? That's just silly.

Afrobean actually proves a good point here. On one hand, yes he has done terrible things before. But on the other hand, Bush had no right to use the American troops and invade Iraq. Was Iraq really involved in this so called, "War on Terror?" I think not.

I'm not saying that Saddam isn't a bad person, and I'm not saying that he didn't deserve death. I am saying that Iraq was probably better off without America getting involved.

I guess we should hang Bush then because of all the deaths caused by the Iraq war, occupation, and following civil war?

Bush isn't my favorite president, but keep in mind Bush did not deliberately target the murder of civilians--Saddam did.

Yes but Bush did send thousands and thousands of troops to their demise.

Re: Saddam's Execution

Well, Bush asked for war, so he got war. And a good way to win war is to go for the opponent's leader......of course, Bush was about 2 years late. Moving on.

I think that what Bush didn't see is that Saddam has followers that can basically take his place. Captain Jack died, yet we still have those that support him, and he has a son to "take his place".

So, unless Saddam's death deals a great emotional blow to the loyalists, the war is probably gonna get worse.

Did you honestly just compare Saddam Hussein to Captain Jack?

As for this thread, I refuse to post anything before actually researching the topic. I have not done so, mainly because I don't really care about Saddam or the Iraqi government. If you want a purely opinionated statement on my feelings toward the War on Terror/Iraq, I think it's a bunch of bull****. We've got more domestic problems we should be worrying about before worrying about everyone else. If I decide to partake in this lovely, little argument you've got here, I'll look some stuff up. I'd advise the rest of you to do the same before making asses out of yourselves.

I'm not happy with his decision to go to war either, but there's a difference between what Bush did and what Saddam did. Saddam deliberately murdered innocent civilians. Bush--for all his failings--at least does military targets. Morally, he's still ahead of serial killers.

Re: Saddam's Execution

yeah bush is dumb, but what Tisthammerw said, hes not murdering people like saddam did.
