Why would Saddam get the death penalty?

Question

He killed "dissidents" in his country to prevent civil unrest, humane or not that was his country. Right now, the USA is in there and the death toll and destruction is greater than before. Does Bush get in trouble for invading a sovereign country. Wasn't Sudan in need of a humanitarian invasion more than Iraq?

Answer 1

Where were you when all the people died in Rwanda and Bill Clinton sat on his hand or was it Monica's hands? Tens of thousands died and a company of Marines could have stopped the carnage. Clinton did nothing!! So, you think its all right to kill dissents? Is there anyone else that you prefer to be dead?
What is a humanitarian invasion? Dropping food boxes on people willing to kill you.
Remember the twin towers coming down?

Answer 2

If you knew that Sadam had members of his own family slaughtered, wouldn't that prompt a conviction? He's one giant scuz bag who doesn't care who he tortured and killed. If these people wanted specific information from the military about family members they were tortured and killed. This should tell people in the US that he is a very evil person who should be put away so he can no longer harm people.

Bush is trying to get rid of everything that has to do with terror. No, he doesn't get into trouble because he went through the right channels; and although we didn't have the support of some countries...LIKE FRANCE...which the United States sent it's men to die to liberate their people during WWII, we still have a right to defend. Don't pay attention to media hype....or you'll never know the truth.

Answer 3

George W. Bush wasn't the first president to understand the threat from Saddam Hussein's Iraq. On Feb 19, 1998, Clinton's Sec of St Mrs. Albright told the crowd that the world has not "seen, except maybe since Hitler, somebody who is quite as evil as Saddam Hussein." In answering a question, she sketched some of the "worse" case scenarios should Saddam "break out of the box that we kept him in." The charges against him range from genocide of the Kurds to torture and murder of his political opponents, and any individuals who spoke against him. That is just off the top of my head though.

Answer 4

Have you ever heard the word "Genocide?" He gassed a whole village just to get rid of them. He's worse than Hitler was and he taught his sons to be the same way. This guy needs to be executed as of yesterday. We had no business being there in the first place. Bush should be brought up on charges too. The problem is, the Iraqis seem to want this kind of leader. It's all they understand.

Answer 5

Saddam deserves to die, but not by the hands of anyone else. In those religions, it's seen as being a Matyr if you're executed. He should spend the rest of his life in the spider hole they found him in.

Not just one country is a terrorist county, the whole world is. That is man's nature.

Answer 6

If he is executed he becomes a Martyr. If he dies in prison of natural causes who will care? With Iran and Syria running the show why would they put him back in power? As long as we are there he should live or die naturally. Once we leave they can do whatever they want with him. But since it appears we are not in control of Iraq it's out of our hands.

Answer 7

i agree with the above comments, America has created so many more war crimes, but as they are a leader in the world, involved in the war "on terror", they the terrorists themselves are never to blame. Sudan did do many inhumane things, but i believe that he should "rot in jail", because death would be to quick, and he would see what his actions have really caused.

Answer 8

For all Saddam's atrocities committed against his people, he should not get a death penalty, but a life sentence. LET HIM ROT IN JAIL!
