why didnt amercans killed Saddam yet?

Answer 1

Because every man is entitled to a fair trial. Although I think Saddam's chips are down, as the death penalty has been requested for him in the Iraq Courts...

He will get his, don't worry and it will be justice indeed because his own countrymen will be killing him...

Answer 2

United States LEADS the world in exemplifying justice, and due process, (although there are many exemptions). This man has a right to defend himself, (although he did not give this right to the people he murdered), just as if you and I were being tried. It is my hope Saddam meets his demise at the hands of a crowd and a rope, but it is still up to a society to provide the proper route for this justice. If people went around stoning, hanging, and shooting on feelings and suspicion, it would not be part of a society. It would be part of savage animals and murderers, much like the insurgents and third-world 'nations'. He probably WILL die, but there must be a an honest process, although he does not believe he should have done that to his victims.

Answer 3

Come on, you guys, sometimes naivety just takes over.
The CIA is responsible for Saddam's lawyers being killed, the US government has their hand on who is the judge. No one wants to hear Saddam's version of what happened. The whole trial is a sham. An out for George Bush to say 'See I did nothing wrong. Saddam is the villain here. A court of law agrees with me. We have to kill him and we had to invade Iraq. I am completely justified in all my decisions because Saddam is a bad man and I am a goood man.'

Answer 4

the real picture is....

in September 1980, Iraq's army invaded Iran. Saddam hoped to establish himself as the Arab leader who put down the Persians and regained control of the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway and islands held by Iran. Iraq made early gains in the war and then called for a cease-fire in December 1981. It was not until July 1988 that Iran finally agreed to a cease-fire; by that time Iran had partially reversed its fortunes and even threatened Basra, Iraq's second largest city.

When the war broke out, the United States declared its neutrality. But that did not stop the U.S. government from aiding Iraq's war effort to keep Iran, which had humiliated the United States in the hostage crisis, from prevailing. In fact, the American "tilt" toward Iraq began before the invasion. The Carter administration furnished Iraq, through Saudi Arabia, exaggerated reports of Iran's military weakness as a way of encouraging Saddam to invade.

The Reagan administration furnished the Iraqis with intelligence on Iranian troop concentrations and damage assessments of Iraqi attacks on Iran. After removing Iraq from the list of countries supporting terrorism, the administration began providing $500 million in annual commodity credits, which enabled the nearly bankrupt nation to obtain wheat and other food. The United States provided another $500 million in Export-Import Bank guarantees for an oil pipeline. Those measures gave Iraq critical support in the eyes of other potential lenders. With U.S. approval, American allies, such as France, armed Iraq with, among other things, Super Etendard fighters equipped with Exocet missiles. The Reagan administration also encouraged Arab financial assistance to Iraq and urged American allies to stop selling weapons to Iran.(208) In 1984 Reagan resumed diplomatic relations with Iraq.


So SAddam has always been blessed with the US support.

this trial and the whole abolishing of SADDAM is a CIRCUS
like WWF.

this is what politics is all about.

Answer 5

Because if they Kill him they will have to kill bush and blaire for all the afganis, yugoslavians and iraqis they have murdered.
Don't forget the wars in yugoslavia and iraq were illegal, yet bush and blaire lied to people and went in to kill innocent people and us and uk soldiers.. not to mention all the hostages now being taken.

Why kill Saddam?? I don't like the man but he is a sympton.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Saddam is in Iraqi custody and their court system, not the US's. It is up to the people of Iraq, those against whom he committed his crimes, to decide his fate.

Answer 8

Because if they killed him they would be just as bad as he is. He is being tried for war crimes against humanity if he is found guilty he will be punished according to the law. But if you want my real opinion they should have shot him the day they found him.

Answer 9

it would cause too much dislike and backlash. it would make them as bad as those they say have been bad. an eye for an eye does not mean literally taking an eye. it's a spiritual concept, meaning spiritual karma, reincarnational karma. many sayings are taken literally, not in the way it was meant, but that's because we have forgotten we are spirits first, humans second.

Answer 10

Saddam IS dead. The guy on trial is one of his many doubles.
