NO! I don't think so! though he was a tyrant..but almost every politician is. BUT why the americans to judge?????? Who are they to decide? That's none of their business! It would've been better if they could examine what's going on in the USA and then to "put their finger into smb. else's pie". Some Americans still can't remember how to write it correctly - Iran or Iraq........

Fairer than most poor Americans get.
I doubt his guilt would stand under US law but he is answering to Badgag law and the Judge and jury are vindictive people wanting his destruction.
Saddam's most obvious character faults, are not what he is being charged with. He was acquitted in the year long Mass murder of Kurds trial Now this murder of Shea trial was quick and decisive.
I find it more of a testimony of Shea aggression than a trial. Hezbollah (the foreign militant arm of Shea) murdered so many people connected with the trial that no one would think of anything other than Guilty.
So Saddam a Bathest and traditional Sunni is found Guilty of killing Shea as a result of Shea death squads killing all Sunni involved in the trial.
OH Yeah democracy is really working in Badgag.
Go big Red Go

Fair- had to tell. The evidence supported he ordered the killing of his own people. As a dictator I don't see Saddam giving that much authority to anyone else without him losing the total control and power he enjoyed. No one was going to go behind his back , do those types of atrocities and then live to tell about it.
Saddam was a dictator that ruled his country with an iron fist and saw mass murder as a means of keeping total control. He should of been tried in his own country for offenses against his people.
One thing that was wrong with the trial was -- it should not of been the media circus it was turned in to.
Hanging seems to be Iraq's form of capital punishment - so be it. In Saudi Arabia he would be decapitated in the public square. We can't say Iraq is it's own country and the laws are theirs to make then complain about how they rule or we will never get out of there and let them stand on their own.

No.
It was a very good example of a show trial outside of Nazi Germany or the old Sovyet block.
It will achieve nothing but make the man a martyr to the people of his own tribe, thereby accentuating the divisions in Iraq.
But maybe that was exactly what the Americans had in mind?

Saddam bragged about his killings. I think he got what he deserved.
