Saddam Hussein faces the death penalty do u think Blair and bush?

Question

should be up for trail on war crimes

Answer 1

YES....they need to be hung too!!

Answer 2

yup..... completely. all this talk of who started the war from theresa is a smokescreen. The same smokescreen bush used to justify the attack on iraq. Hussein and Iraq had NO PART in September 11th. FACT.

I won't shed any tears about Hussein, but if we're talking about punnishment about the death of innocents Blair and Bush Junior and Senior have a big case to answer.

Lets look at the most cited case of Hussein's evil... The use of chemical weapons in Halabja during the Iran/Iraq war. During that Gulf war Hussein had the support of the US state department - as evidenced by the fact that the US state department blamed "both sides of the conflict" - Iran and Iraq for what was Hussein's mass murder. The massacre at Halabja did not raise protests by the international community in March 1988


but let's not stop there... US presidents should be up for mass murder - Reagan with the funding of the contras in Nicaragua & for the backing of Hussein (daddy bush was in that administration too) - How about the VIetnam war leader LBJ.

Or what about the president presiding over the CIA funded Chilean Coup in 1973 - yup, Mr Nixon...

Now we can see why the US refuse to back the International Court of Human Rights.

Oh Samuel, what crimes? Well... An illegal war, Indiscriminate Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (depleted Uranium- clusster bombs etc), Supension of the Geneva Convention dealing with the rights of combatants (and many non-combatants) for starters. The commander in chief is responsible for the actions of his army. Surely Mr Bush and Blair would welcome the chance to defend their actions - assuming they are confident in the legality and morality of the action.

Answer 3

I guess so. Saddam is being convicted for executing people who tried to assassinate him. Isn't that what a leader is supposed to do, isn't that what leaders have done for thousands of years? Bush is responsible for the deaths of many people some of which want to harm Americans and some that are innocent in that regard. Saddam is not an angel by a long haul but this was a ludicrous trial! Punish him for some of the unjustified sh$# he did not something that any other leader would do to protect their life!

Answer 4

Exactly what war crimes do you think would stick? Some very clear, logical and sharp legal minds on here tonight. Sadam was an evil man who delighted in killing and torturing his own people (and BTW caused the deaths of over a million people when he needlessly invaded Iran). Bush and Blair may have made some seriously bad judgements over the last few years, but to compare them with one of the world's worst dictators of recent years is ludicrous.

Answer 5

Considering that the US and the UK sold Saddam Hussein the chemical weapons he used against the Iranians and Kurds, then sold him even more (as well as biological agents) afterwards, there should be some kind of accounting.

Of course there won't be... only the losers pay for their crimes against humanity. The ones on the victors side get away with it.

Answer 6

The dying penalty is relatively an oxymoron. interior the top of the day you have succeeded in no longer something than taking the existence of a individual- and you not often choose a courtproceeding for that. you haven't any longer punished the guy- gaining awareness of your blunders is fundamental in any punishment and that cleary isn't occurring if the guy this is assume to alter is ineffective! additionally, the courtroom in Iraq has no authority attempting Saddam on "crimes against humanity". regardless of if, because of the fact neither US or Iraq even understand the Haag international courtroom, i assume they could do regardless of they choose.

Answer 7

They should be questioned for war crimes and be made to justify their actions... Oh that's why they have the UN and NATO and top lawyers working with their governments!

So all of their actions, though may appear overly aggressive are within the law.

Answer 8

Theresa R: Don't recall Saddam attacking the U.S or Britain?
Was I away?
Illegal war! They should be made accountable!

Answer 9

Blair and Bush did not sign the death warrents for hundreds of thousands of their own people. Hussein did.

Answer 10

Bush yes! Blair I'd need to know more about

Answer 11

yes, blair and particulary bush were responsible for a lot of civilian deaths in iraq, due to the idea to bomb whole cities to try and destroy all threat.
