George Bush to be hanged? After Saddam Hussein?

Question

Undeniably, Saddam is evil to many. However Bush is equally evil, causing many deaths such as the silly invasions of Iraq and many others.
Should he be brought to court and meet the same faith like his best friend Saddam Hussein?

As I checked the results. I could tell there are variety of responses as I expected. Some people like or hate Bush, absolutely fine. However, the 22nd is absolutely violent and rude.It is a good test that these people are so emotional and aggressive. what a shame indeed.

Bush supporters, esp the 23rd answerer. Any fool has a brain is able to think that 3000 military deaths is silly and shocking (today's news), this figure only shows the American soldiers excluding all other civilians. Therefore, what is the point of having so much of knowledge and good background of history but without a good common sense and sound decision as a leader?

Answer 1

What would this prove?? Nothing.. Killing people to show that killing is wrong is just wrong. Killing these people will not solving any problems but making more problems for all people...

Answer 2

I believe there are many aspects to why Iraq was invaded - the anti wars will give you one story, and the pros another....lets look at some of the facts..... Firstly I believe Saddam brought this very much on himself, although sadly he was kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. As we all know, Saddam was an ally of the west for many years, including the years when he gassed the Kurdish village. But he was the main anti-Iran influence in the region, so ally he was. Saddams first mistake was invading Kuwait - maybe he thought that western governments would not act, but this lack of judgement led to his downfall After Kuwait, UN security resoluton 687 was signed, with one of the aspect that he had to PROVE that he had destroyed all the WMDs (which we know he did have - gassing villages, using against Iran etc, anthrax etc) - but again, here was the difficult position - if he proved he had got rid of them then he was showing weakness + showing his enemies he was militarily weaker than they thought. His 2nd bad lack of judgement was his brinkmanship with the UN weapons inspectors - even Hans Blix, the chief UN weapon inspector stated this. And with this coming after 9/11 he basically really screwed up (and UN SCR 687 stated that if he did not prove that he had destroyed the weapons, then "serious consequences" (i.e. war) would happen) - so I feel, on balance, that the Iraq invasion was justified (although you could argue why dont ALL the UN security resolutions get enforced!) Where the US and UK did screw up over Iraq was the exit strategy, errr, or lack of! Just because WMDs were not found in Iraq does not mean that there was not a good reason to look for them, as UN SCR 687 and the blocking of the UN weapons inspectors provided this

Answer 3

It takes a huge leap of logic to say that Bush, Blair etc are "just as evil". Neither are driven by greed or hate in the same way Saddam was. Neither wage war on the basis of race or creed. Neither pre-meditated the murder of innocent civillians. Yes, granted that their decisions are unpopular and personally I don't agree with them but they are hardly "criminals". When wars are fought people die. It is an unavoidable consequence and mistakes DO happen and innocent people DO die by mistake. Wake up and smell the coffee. This is a completely different thing to PRE-MEDITATED genocide. The difference is that Saddam planned military operations to deliberately target civillians. He had DIRECT personal involvement in the planning/strategy of these offensives. That is what he was sentenced for NOT anything else which he may or may not have done. He was executed for the murder of 147 civillians after a failed coup because that was the only offence they could gather enough evidence/witnesses/testomony for.
Bush and Blair, whilst not entirely blameless, have NOT been directly involved in any of the tragic accidents which have claimed the lives of innocent people in Iraq. The reason Iraq was invaded was because they would not comply with U.N resolutions which had been drafted and prepared by the leaders of many nations.
So, NO they shouldn't be tried as "war criminals" because they did not directly plan or orchestrate any military action against civillians.
Wake up and don't believe everything you read in the gutter press.

Answer 4

Not only Bush, there is plenty of guilt to go around.
For this very reason, Bush made sure that the US does not recognize the " International Court for Crimes against Humanity,"
I think the "Execution" will make a martyr out of Hussain and a fierce "Civil War" is going to be the result. The US will now be in a very difficult position. They can leave and let the real slaughter begin or stay, but on which side? It will be a lose-lose situation, for which the US ppl will pay for from their taxes for generations, but tragically so many more young Americans will die or be maimed needlessly. Their blood will be upon the heads of Bush & the other greedy investors, who are reaping a fortune from this ,the first major,man-made tragic event of the 21st century.

Answer 5

For all of you who think Bush is as evil as Saddam, I hope you never set foot in the USA. If you do and continue talking like that someone is going to kick you *ss.
Bush may be a jack*ss but he is our President and until his term ends, I will not put up with your hateful words. If you dont like who is President then you go out make a difference and vote for the better candidate. Obviously you cant do that because youre probably not a US citizen... or are underage. Get a life.

Answer 6

Whatever atrocities Bush does are above the law since he is the 800 pound gorilla.

Answer 7

Certainly Bush is a War Criminal [not only a War President, as he called himself]. The invasion of an independent nation without any reason or UN's support IS A CRIME, according to International Laws. Nowadays, US casualties are larger in number than 9-11 victims! How would he justify this war before a judge?

He must be hanged beside Saddam, same day, same hour same bush-channel [Fox, of course].

Hope it helps.

Answer 8

Saddam was hanged, because of atrocities against his own people,not others. He was tried in Iraq by Iraqi's. Are you saying the USA should charge him? If it's true what you say, why isn't he being charged as a war criminal by the Hague?

Answer 9

I can completely agree, but I don't think there is much we can do though. He such an idiot. Have you ever heard him make a speech? He always stumbles on his words and he does not ever give a straight answer to any questions. I think there are many people who would like for him to just fall off the face of the earth. He is just wasting air.

Answer 10

unfortunely Bush is just a bad president and its not a crime to be stupid. Saddam was responsible for alot worse crimes on his people. Bush has not delibertly killed anybody like saddam. So be thankful you don't live under dictatorship and He'll be out of office in a year.
