Dinosaur Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Although I just had the greatest idea! they should make a tv show about him in prison where each ay he has to do a rediculously stupid task in order to win food and that,Not one of your crappy reality tv shows, each thing he has to do is genuine and destroys his self esteem and dignity like licking everyones feet in the prison. and eating bad bad food and being forced into a small, small box with poisonous snakes etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ()Papaspyrou() Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 He'll probably get let off and be back in charge of Iraq in 10 years time, knowing the US government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 There should be no need for a trial, the evidence against him and his henchmen is pretty conclusive. Hang/shoot the fucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Gun Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I agree, i think he'll get off aswell, hes one of those jammy cunts!!! His trial should of been in aberdeen with hulk hogan as judge and the contestants from big brother 5 in the jury!!! Now that'd be TV!!!

ben_1903 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 "hello burnt face man, I've made you some pate out of my own nasal hair, and yeast"No. He will not get a fair trial.Imagine being in the jury deciding upon the fate of the man who has cause you and your' county so much pain - they'll find him guilty of everything, and he'll get life in prison.

Knight of Swords Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 There's a lot of bastards in the world, why pick on him?I don't think fairness really comes into this trial. If there's no way to prove what he's done and he gets found guilty, then that would be unjust (legally as opposed to morally), but everyone knows he's guilty, so nobody really needs it proved to them.

Lazy Gun Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Thats what it comes down to in the end mate, its a moral decision as opposed to a legal one!! We see this old withered man out of his luxurious surroundings, not the man of power he once was and people feel a little remorseful for him!! Bollocks, did he give a fair trial to the millions he tortured, did he fuck!! But, he'll probably find some sort of loophole!! Do you think they'll execute him??

lepeep Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I can't believe he's pleading "not guilty"I can, as he thought (like most meglamaniacle dictators) he thought he was doing no wrong....as we all know (fair trial ?) that's a crock of shit.I don't think we'll get to see much of the trial, and I'd imagine that the US will see even less, as I am sure he's got a few things he wants to get off his chest...

Knight of Swords Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I don't think he did anything wrong. I also don't think he did anything right. Measuring other people's actions by our own standards has caused a lot more death than Saddam ever managed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']and there lies the Mob "eye for an eye" mentality ...If I remember correctly, we have to uphold our standards, even if the people we are trying didn't. Don't get me wrong, I am no saddam sympathiser (is anyone ?, even the people he was in with, are probably being wooed by someone else with power / money) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metarie Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Are the US Government actually involved in this at all? I remember the news saying that he was being tried back in Iraq and the clip showed him refusing to give his name to the judge because he and everyone else in the country knows who he is. I'd like to think that he'll get a couple hundred life sentences in prison. He'll never get out, it's not like they're dealing with a petty crook, a vast amount of people died under him and fighting him, from all over the world.The death penalty might seem like the harshest punishment but it'd be over for him in a flash. This really is a case of hanging is too good for him, let him rot away in solitary confinement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Temple Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Are the US Government actually involved in this at all?I wondered why he wasn't handed over to whatever the court at The Hague is, since it wasn't Iraqis who caught him. Probably because the U.S recognises that court no more than he recognises the Iraqi one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I think it would be good to see a decent trial for 2 reasons. 1) To see Saddam squirm when he is asked akward questions backed up by tons of evidence regarding the atrocites he has carried out.2) To see America squirm when he comes out with "home truths" regarding how the US actually supplied Saddam with a lot of his military capability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Swords Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I don't think it really matters anymore. He's gone from power, whether he's alive or not is of little consequence to the general situation in the Middle-East. I think the main question is still why our government is so eager to help the Americans make money. If we were going into Iraq on our own terms, I could understand it, but I really despise being part of a nation whose government is willing to risk the lives of it's own citizens for the benefit of another country's prosperity.Realpolitik is something I'm quite fond of and I can understand the reasons for America going in (just so I don't come across as a trendy, student, SSP voter type), but the reasons for Britain going in are in no way beneficial to us.
