What is the use of hanging Saddam and failing to install a democracy ?

Question

What would the hanging of Saddam change in Iraq if the civil war cant be stopped and the democracy never worked . In a divided country the hanging of Saddam wouldnt improve the situation and maybe would make it worse and give rise to hundreds of Saddams in Iraq who dont want to stop the killing machine..

Answer 1

Hanging him is the kind of small victories Bush can hope for now.
Another victory was pulling down statues. Was there anything else?Bombed out the whole damn infrastructure making life better for Iraqis . Another victory was making haliburton etc richer in giving them lucrative contracts. But this cannot be claimed in public as around 3000 soldiers & half a million iraqis died for it.

Answer 2

Death sentence to Sadam whether it was rite or wrong beside that , it was just a drama of Bush Govt In USA to take vote to show that they have achieved the purpose of the war to bring democracy in Iraq atleast...if they hang him it will worsen the situation in Iraq, and USA will never be able to get out from there.

Answer 3

Who said hanging saddam would create a democracy? We took him out of power because of Crimes against Humanity. But, under democratic rule, he must be tried by court, and he was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. The court ruling happened in Iraq, and that's just one democratic institution you see working in Iraq.
The only people that liked Saddam was the portion of the Sunni minority that had power and could live life luxuriously. The Kurds hated Saddam because he did some genocide upon the group. Saddam also kicked most of the Shi'ites of Iranian descent out of Iraq. Saddam oppressed his people, are you saying taking him out of power was wrong?

Answer 4

i detect that the final public of your solutions easily proffer evidence that u . s . has already preceded down a slippery slope. Rejoicing in someones dying isn't the ethical Highground the Redsters declare to own. no count what happens in Iraq. u . s . would be blamed. very few citizens of u . s . have been effected one way or yet another via Saddam he's barely a guy in a miles off land. Celebrating the loss of life of a stranger isn't stable on your soul. flow huge purple flow

Answer 5

Revenge for all the messed up things he did to people for over 20 years. The world will be better off. Bye-Bye Saddam!

Answer 6

its just symbolic,a way to show something for all the effort it took to get this far,his fate was decided when he was caught,as far as the rest goes, well ,i think its about time we left iraq,and give the iraq people their shot at governing themselves,isnt that what democracy is all about,by still being there its no wonder they think america has ulterior motives,i thought that was the plan

Answer 7

Why, praytell, would a democracy necessarily be the best form of government for Iraq right now? Do you really think the Iraqis could handle it? I don't think so---they're not doing a very good job of it now! There will always be insurgents there; will we have to stay forever????

The entire process has been a shameless show trial. The Iraq Special Tribunal was established by an edict issued by US proconsul Paul Bremmer in 2003. Its judges and prosecutors were selected by American officials and instructed by American advisors.

Answer 9

Good point. I think the whole exercise from the beginning has only served to increase the violence, increase the number of enemies of the USA, and increase the violence of those enemies.
I'm sorry, but from a purely pragmatic point of view, the invasion was a brainless decision.

Answer 10

Democracy can't exist with Kangaroo Courts. It's all a bogus house of cards and will fall when the noble US troops leave.
