Hell no! No peace for Iraq....just more republican voters in the USA.

But on 25 May 1994, the US Senate's Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs produced a report entitled "United States Chemical and Biological Warfare-related Dual-use exports to Iraq and their possible impact on the Health Consequences (sic) of the Persian Gulf War".
This was the 1991 war which prompted our liberation of Kuwait, and the report informed Congress about US government-approved shipments of biological agents sent by American companies to Iraq from 1985 or earlier. These included Bacillus anthracis, which produces anthrax; Clostridium botulinum; Histoplasma capsulatum; Brucella melitensis; Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli. The same report stated that the US provided Saddam with "dual use" licensed materials which assisted in the development of chemical, biological and missile-system programmes, including chemical warfare agent production facility plant and technical drawings (provided as pesticide production facility plans).
Yes, well I can well see why Saddam wasn't permitted to talk about this. John Reid, the British Home Secretary, said that Saddam's hanging "was a sovereign decision by a sovereign nation". Thank heavens he didn't mention the £200,000 worth of thiodiglycol, one of two components of mustard gas we exported to Baghdad in 1988, and another £50,000 worth of the same vile substances the following year.
We also sent thionyl chloride to Iraq in 1988 at a price of only £26,000. Yes, I know these could be used to make ballpoint ink and fabric dyes. But this was the same country--Britain--that would, eight years later, prohibit the sale of diphtheria vaccine to Iraqi children on the grounds that it could be used for--you guessed it--"weapons of mass destruction".

No. I think he should be hanged, too, or maybe go about his business, living his life, knowing that he will be gasses at any moment. But it won't bring peace to Iraq. Their hate goes far deeper than Saddam; he just added to it.

I doubt if anything will bring peace there any time soon. That said, I agree that Saddam should be hanged.

I think he should be hanged...but peace will come in time. There are alot of supporters still there for him. Hanging him is not going to bring automatic peace.

No. In fact, there were a bunch of people protesting in SUPPORT of Saddam. How crazy is that?

It won't, it's just an added bonus if anything good comes out of Iraq at all.

It won't neccessarily bring peace, but he does deserve his fate.

More likely to worsen the civil war there.
