Saddam definatly... amazing how you forgot about saddam torturing ppl , rape rooms or such, I'm sure he'll be cannonized soon into sainthood in the liberal mind. If hitler was alive today i am sure you would reccomend theropy for him also?

Answer 2

Saddam Hussein killed hundreds more and without any legal justification/ protection.

When the unfortunate event of death of civillians occurs by coalition soldiers, we need to remember this "war" is fought by those in unifrom (the coalition) and those without (terrorist/ militia). If you were fighting people in plain clothes every day then it is understandable that SOME civillians will die.

Saddam Hussein killed for sport, for the pleasure of exterminating races - he was a dictator of the highest order, his rule was arbitrary and cruel. However, the coalition are all Liberal Democratic countries who do not kill unless it satifies the requirements of specific law (i.e: captital punishment in USA, and in war).

In war both parties makes the decisions to kill one another - it is fair and understood by both sides. In war both parties wear different colours and carry different flags so that they can be identified from the citizens. In war the fight is between those who AGREE to fight. In dictatorships/ acts of terrorism, the lines are smudged. One party decides the break the rules of war - one party decides to wear civillian clothes, jeapordising the whole "safety" of war. In Iraq, rebels are acting in this way.

Note: If America and the Coalition was really so bad, wouldn't they just nuke the whole place - easily eliminating all civillians? Hmmm... that doesn't happen, because the Coalition want PEACE in Iraq... and the Iraqis want it too.

As for torture - again, that is part of war - an ACCEPTED part of war. Torturing people for fun was what Saddam did. Of course torture is nasty but it's not a new thing. In the WWI and WWII the US and other Coalition countries tortured the opposing party, as did the Japanese and Germans do to us. Torture is unpleasant and information obtained through torture is not always the entire truth, but it can help. Torture is the last means of acquiring information - first there is intelligence....

What the general public don't hear is ALL of what happens - only select bits. And thanks to the television stations it's skewed - crime sells newspapers. Sensationalism also sells papers, and so we MUST accept not all information we receive is the whole truth. Take it with a grain of salt.

If the number of deaths is really your qualm, then i suggest you read the UN's assessment of Iraq under Saddam. It's a really long paper which, in short, says Saddam killed thousands and nothing was done for years, that the UN couldn't stop him and wish some country would take the stand against the mad man. Hmmm one country did... and now are persecuted? How odd.

Nothing in life is perfect, but we bl**dy well try to make it so.

Answer 3

I am not defending the crimes Saddam committed against his people. But I am also not going to defend the Bushes’ crimes either. And remember, when George Bush, Sr. was the head of the CIA, Saddam was on the CIA payroll. Bush and Saddam have worked together in the past, before this deadly international family feud came to a head. And remember when daddy Bush was implemented in keeping the Iran hostages in captivity LONGER than needed so they could be released at the exact HOUR of the Reagan/Bush inauguration, making Carter look ineffective at negotiations? In reality, that is like Bush and Reagan holding those Americans hostage, just for their own good press! Seriously, the double standards of prosecution here are alarming! America lied to the UN to make an illegal war. THAT is a DOCUMENTED international war crime, as is the documented lack of civil rights given to those being held right now in American prisons, with no charges at all against them, only a claim of “terrorist suspect.” Why on earth is GWBush not on trial? It seems to me when you add up the suffering and deaths Saddam caused, next to the combined deaths and suffering at the hands of the Bush family regime while ruling America, Saddam pales in comparison quickly. It is clear that there is no international justice; American “justice” is as corrupt outside America as it is inside America, and the Bush family has what resembles in every way a dictatorship going on…internationally. The stupidity and apathy of American people is astounding, yes. But the way the UN just looked the other way at Bush’s WMD lies and the way America cannot even feed its own, or protect its own in a natural disaster on its own soil, makes our exploits in other countries, to save them, quite questionable. America has WMD, why were we able to say Saddam cannot have what we freely have? And now we slaughter Iraqis and Americans daily for these non-existent WMD? How crazy is this world? How much power *do* oil moguls like the Bush family have? This international level of corruption is really frightening.
