Like Bush and Blair, Milosovich, Sharon, etc.

We actually armed Saddam when he was fighting Iran.
Western governments did more than turn a blind eye, though, to Iraq's use of chemical weapons in the 1980s. The US in particular supplied the material, logistical information, political backing and finance to Saddam Hussein’s regime
We were actually the ones to give him the power to start wars in the first place. How can WE say that Saddam should die when WE actually gave him a few weapons of mass destruction in thel first place! How can we sentence a man to death when our leaders have started an unlawful war in Iraq. I agree that Saddam has done some terrible things in the past, but what about other dictators such as Mugabe? why do we do nothing about him? Look at the mess in Africa and we do nothing.
Iraq's assault on Iran, then the West's enemy-in-chief, involved the use of mustard agents, and the nerve gases sarin and tabun, from 1981/82 to 1988. Thousands of Iranian conscripts were choked to death in the first years of the war, and Iranian civilians were targeted with chemical agents as part of a campaign of terror. This was the context in which the Iraqi regime learnt not to worry about the prospect of international condemnation, however murderous its acts.

Saddam is not sentanced to death just for starting a war......his crimes are far more than simply fighting....Milosovich was instrumental in the slaughter of hundreds in the name of ethnic cleansing as is Saddam in part, Sharon had tried to have his own countrymen live alongside his palestinian counterparts, unfortunately there seems to be an inbuilt self distruct in a lot of eastern countries that dictate that they cannot live in peace with anyone and to die is an honour. So in answer to your question....No I do not think that ANYONE who starts a war should be killed as well..

If we were to execute all those who started wars, the graveyards would be brimful. I personally believe that hanging Hussein will exacerbate an already raging fire. Another martyr will be created and we will all suffer. You can never defeat a hidden threat. Only dead men are considered martyrs, and Saddam Hussein should be reprieved and made to serve a long prison sentence.

There is a HUGE difference between deliberately targeting civilians and losing them during a combat situation.
The result is the same but the moral issue is completely different.
Don't confuse the acts of people like Saddam Hussein with the acts of the people that try to stop him and his cruel inhuman ways.

don't be naive. other than the Nazi criminals no one from an true european country or their descendents will be tried or killed legally in the near future. if there was any justice in the world, the american president should have faced trial for dropping the
N bombs in Japan. not since then have so many innocents been killed in a single such incident.

Yes,I agreed! Anyway,who come out the named 'War'? I wondered why we have to start a war due to unsolved conflict between countries.Whats the meaning of diplomatic then? But sadly,we are only their servants that have to agree with what they had planned for us since they ruled this country.If we didn't obey their rules we are getting ourselves into trouble.Therefore,killing them won't solve the problem to peace.

No starting wars is not a crime. What Hussain was doing to his countrymen who opposed him was criminal.
War is a method of solving disputes when just talking has failed.
