Justice for Saddam and Bush ?

Question

Justice for Saddam and Bush ?

If on the one hand, they can justify hanging former Iraqi dictator
Saddam Hussein, for his role in 148 killings in 1982, what should the
world do about 2,991 American Soldiers, and the estimated 50,000
innocent Iraqi civilians killed by the invasion of Iraq because someone
made the simple mistake that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction ?


Then again did not this all begin with 9-11 and the 2,973 innocent
lives lost in a terrorist action attributed to Bin Ladin, not Saddam
Hussein; or have we forgotten that ?

Why are some of you blaming Bush...? Who led him down the path with the lies about these weapons of mass destruction..?

Answer 1

You make some excellent points there, and I think you've voiced the opinion of the majority of Americans, based on the polls that are just out. Let's just face it, the invasion of Iraq should never have happened and was a terrible mistake. As JFK said so eloquently, America must use its arms "for peace, not war."

Answer 2

Umm, Saddam's victims went beyond 148 killings. He has been killing people since the 1950's. Bush hasn't ordered bombs to be placed on children, women raped... he was never a fan of Hitler... you can't even compare these two. If Bush were any thing like Saddam, you wouldn't be here right now for even saying that. So thankfully you have Bush in power.

Answer 3

huh, it's funny how you remember about 9/11 to try and blame Bush for something, but yet, 9/11 doesn't justify the US fighting terrorism?

Even if Bush was tried for something, though he has done nothing wrong, then we would also try Congress since they stood beside the President.

We should also have looked in Syria and Iran for WMD's, however, we got in a country that we saw fit to jump in, the plan just did not go to plan. But I'm sure you can enlighten me, please name one plan that has gone 100% correct.........I'll be waiting awhile.....................................

Nunoyvgvna Awi's.....Habeas Corpus was suspended, not removed, and it was for the purpose of protecting Americans to get more information out of the detainees down in gitmo.

On 29 September 2006, the U.S. House and Senate approved the Military Commissions Act of 2006, a bill which would suspend habeas corpus for any alien (noncitizen) determined to be an "unlawful enemy combatant engaged in hostilities or having supported hostilities against the United States"[2][3] by a vote of 65-34. (This was the result on the bill to approve the military trials for detainees; an amendment to remove the suspension of habeas corpus failed 48-51.[4]) President Bush signed the Military Commissons Act of 2006 into law on October 17, 2006.

With the MCA's passage, the law altered the language from "alien detained ... at Guantanamo Bay":

"Except as provided in section 1005 of the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by or on behalf of an alien detained by the United States who has been determined by the United States to have been properly detained as an enemy combatant or is awaiting such determination." §1005(e)(1), 119 Stat. 2742.
Under the MCA, the law restricts habeas appeals for only those aliens detained as enemy combatants, or awaiting such determination. Left unchanged is the provision that, after such determination is made, it is subject to appeal in U.S. Court, including a review of whether the evidence warrants the determination. If the status is upheld, then their imprisonment is deemed lawful; if not, then the government can change the prisoner's status to something else, at which point the habeas restrictions no longer apply

Answer 4

Honestly, the Bush administration should be on trial for war crimes for the way they lead the U.S. into this disastrous and unnecessary war. But, we all know that will never happen. I'm just hoping that with the Democrats controlling the House and Senate that there will at least be some sort of investigation.

Answer 5

Bush is going to do everything for a vote, including killing people, inoocent or guilty, he doesn't care, he cares only for the votes.

He did his way, all the time.

But the votes won't come in 2008, you will see, he lost from the very beginning, remember the election day, he didn't win.

He did not win killing Saddam anyway, he han't won since the very beginning.

Justice ? who cares about justice, it's all about votes, ask him.

Answer 6

SH was on trial for killing far fewer than the 100's of thousands that he had tortured and killed. He was obsessed with having wmd. He gassed whole villages. He ruled by fear. If people looked at him the wrong way they would be tortured or executed just for the fun of it. Remember, we who are not in intellegence get to sleep peacefully at night.

Answer 7

I think Bush, Cheney, and some others should have to go to the Hague and be tried for war crimes.

Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen.

And yes, people have forgotten - or never believed or realized - that Bin Laden was behind 9-11, not Hussein. Or perhaps they realize it but are so deeply racist that they think offing one person from the middle east is as good as offing another.

Answer 8

ignore all the above......has everyone forgot that Bush took an oath to "uphold and PROTECT the constitution with all his powers". yet he is the one who removed habeas corpeus?

is that not a blatant violation of his oath of office? he did not protect the very item that is at the center of all we do....instead he hurt it.

this act alone is treason.....THEN we can add on all the other issues of war, murder, lies, spying, torture camps, etc, etc.

Answer 9

Oh no we have not forgotten. The main thing that I would say is why did not my fellow Americans remember all this when they went to the polling place and voted this person back in office?

Answer 10

Your statistics are all wrong and stilted.

Saddam was evil.

9/11 didn't mean we should have invaded Iraq.

However, Saddam was evil. His sons were torturers too.
