who think he's correct in saying that "Saddam wasn't ever a dictartor, but the people around him made him look that way"?
and if so does this rings true to others now, and in history(meaning they weren't really that way, but people around them made them that way)?

Well I asume what the Judge was talking about is how he became the face of oppersion in the middle east, but others were pulling his chains, or birds of a feather!

God only knows they tried to kill him with everything in their arsenal before that.LoL
We did kill his sons, so why not.
But what about people like Fidel Castro, I don't think he's really a bad guy, just a mis-understood rebel, he loved America but wasn't willing to give his country over to us, so we tried to kill him, I think 3 or more times.

The easily influenced person can be made to parrot the ideals of another; the person who operates in isolation is the only antagonist to the herd effect. That is assuming, perfect knowledge and ideals exist in opposition.

They should have left Saddam in power. The country was a lot better off before the Yanks and the Brits got involved. How many people have died as a result of the war compared to when Saddam was in power? I admit things were bad but its just a real screw-up now.

The Judge is wrong. This is just more bureaucratic bullshit. Everyone in the world saw what he did i don't even know why they are having a trial. He should have been shot on sight.(God only knows they tried to kill him with everything in their arsenal before that).

probably true. you try rising to power, or staying in power, by telling everybody else what to do. "dictator" is a tricky game.
