Who has killed more people, Saddam Hussein or George Bush Jr.?

Question

Furthermore, what does it mean for the Bush family to have supported Osama Bin Laden with billions in aid, weapons, and capital while he was "terrorist-ing" Iran and Russia on the US's behalf when we are now decrying terrorism as the biggest evil in the world?

Somebody tally the death counts and get back to me.

So Hussein personally mudered thousands of people...

I'd never heard that before... he is on trial for ordering the trial of a group of people who tried to assasinate him...

George Bush is not on trial for declaring war with a third world country under the guise that they had weapons of mass destruction... over 75,000+ have died because of that... hmmmmmm

Answer 1

Bush

Answer 2

I am not sure I can get the specifics concerning the death toll attributable to Saddam Hussein, since he was a dictator after all. Such sensitive information was probably kept secret from his own people, and therefore would be unlikely to be published anywhere.

However, it can be stated that with a good degree of certainty that though George Bush Jr.'s current rate of killing as a direct result of war with Iraq might not even equal Saddam's massacres, his destruction of Iraqi infrastructure (i.e. hospitals, schools, basic sanitation, electricity, etc) and the general insurrection and discord his incursion is causing will over the years lead to as many deaths or exceed the number of deaths caused by Saddam's regime.

Just the potential that a democratically elected leader’s decisions could lead to more deaths than the former tyrant he deposed is argument enough against Bush.

Answer 3

First of all, the answer is Hussein, who directly killed thousands, by his own hand. Bush is automatically disqualified, because even though the US supposedly "started" the war in Iraq, he is not killing anyone by his own hand. Matter of fact, even our soldiers are trying to avoid killing anyone who is not a combatant. There are exceptions to this, but it's not the Presidents fault.
Second, the support of bin Laden happened during a time when Communism was considered the largest threat to the "free world". Ever heard the saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"? That's what that is about.
The actual tally of noncombatants killed in Iraq has been placed somewhere between 39,000 and 239,000. They're not sure which is closer to the truth. I'm thinking it is somewhere around 75,000.
As for the number that Hussein killed, no one knows for sure. They're putting the number upwards of 250,000, according the number of mass graves that have been uncovered. But we're not done yet.
Your claim of WMD's being used as a false reason to go to war is not entirely correct. I've read several sources that have said that yes, there were materials used for biological and chemical weapons found. No, they did not find whole nuclear warheads, but the materials for aforementioned weapons have been discovered. I'll try to get the source to you before this question expires, if I remember to check back.

Answer 4

Saddam probably has the lead right now because of all the mass executions he had carried out, but give Georgie Boy a chance, he'll catch up - if not in Iraq, he'll start a war elsewhere so he can. Terrorism isn't the biggest evil in the world - George Bush is.

Answer 5

Definitely saddam He wiped out entire villages Killed tens of thousands. and his sons raped tortured and killed just for fun. not to mention saddam had members of his own family exicuted.If you look at most the deaths that are going on in afghanistan and iraq most civillian deaths are coming from there "own People" and not american troops yeah weve killed some but hell when you can't tell who the bad guys are and who aren't it's going to happen It's not like the fighters are in uniform that would make to much sense. Remember your talking about groups who hit and run it doesn't matter who's in the way they are happy with killing 10 civillians if it kills 1 U.S soldier.I don't care for bush just as much as the rest but I'm not going to compare him to saddam till he actually does the same thing .
And btw we have a policy in place to try not to cause civilian death and we even treat the enemy and civilians can we say saddam and the the insurgents fighting there now would be willing to do the same.
Do a little research before you start runnin off at the mouth. Damn people are idiots when they think along there party lines and listen to tv..

Answer 6

Saddam Hussein

Answer 7

George Bush Jr.

Do the numbers, Saddam and George are both intelectual murderers. Saddam killed a bunch of Chiites and so, George is killing Irakies both civilian and military, military from the allied countries, americans, and that´s only what we have seen in the news. at least Saddam admits to what he did because he is crazy, but George he won´t admit it because he things he is doing good he is the real evil.

Answer 8

Well since Saddam killed the Kurds with chemical weapons supplied by the US government (the first load was brought by Donald Rumsfeld himself as a bribe for Saddam to re-open the US embassy in Baghdad) the answer is simple.
Bush.

Answer 9

Saddam Hussein has killed literally hundreds of thousands of people. I would say it would be saddam. George Bush Jr. technically didn't kill anyone, he just made america go to war.

Answer 10

I don't either one of them has personally killed anyone. It's possible that Hussein's done it but I seriously doubt that Bush actually physically killed Col. Mustard in the Kitchen with the Pipe.
