How can Bush say that the hanging of Saddam was "an important milestone on the road to democracy for Iraq"?

Answer 1

Ask the 180,000 Kurds that he gassed how they felt about it.

Answer 2

Because he's a liar?

Please..... people must realise by now that this war has got NOTHING to do with 'democracy', that is absolute BS. In fact I seem to remember in the beginning it was about WMDs, was it not? Or was it about removing a brutal dictator?

OK so maybe its about bringing 'democracy' to Iraq. Or is it about stopping the 'terrorists' now (this is the current excuse). Correct me if I'm wrong but NONE of the terrorists on 9/11, 7/7 etc came from Iraq?!

It's amazing how many people will consistenly believe what they are told even when the obvious truth is staring them blank in the face. This is yet another complete lie.

This war is about OIL and MONEY!!!

Something you will never hear the politicians admit!!!

Answer 3

Because Saddam perpetrated genocide on his fellow Iraqis (Kurds). His regime was brutal. The current situation in Iraq is not a stable one but the hanging of Saddam ends the chapter of Saddam's brutality. Of course more brutality and ethnic violence lay ahead.

Answer 4

Because it is an important milestone. Now the Iraqi people know that Saddam will never return to power and murder more Iraqis or send more terrorists to murder any one else.
The Iraqi people are freer with Saddam dead than they ever would have been while he was alive.

Answer 5

Normally I wouldn't waste time defending Bush but a lot of Iraqis who were tortured, maimed, or had friends and family treated that way or killed needed a sense of closure in order to get on with their lives and the difficult task of rebuilding the country in a religious war zone.

Hopefully now they will be able to leave the hatred they felt for Sadam and his party of thugs behind now and become part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

Answer 6

no. But he could say that the ability for the newly formed Iraqi Government to try him in a court of law and seek a conviction without fear of retribution from the Bath party is a milestone.

Answer 7

cuz some folks will buy this as a true statement and George is a bit desperate for any "good news" in the mess he and chicken hawk Cheney and Rummy the dummy have made of Iraq.

Answer 8

Bush likes executions thats why. When he was governer of texas he made that clear. He says that executions send a chilling message. But at what cost? About 70 people get executed in the US each year and surely a few of those must be innocent. But whether they're innocent or enough can we as humans justify that someone should be killed? Can we teach our children that killing is sometimes ok? Can we be as hypocritical as to say, you killed someone so we're gona kill you?

Answer 9

There even making Saddam T-Shirts now!

Tight around the neck but they hang well!

Answer 10

Because he understands not the "Holy Bible" nor the scheming "HolyGhost", who is always revealed after mankind strikes the first blow in a world of hypocrites and judges. Eye suggest that you read the book of "Revelations" for more insight has to how the rest of humanities' time will play out. Never forget that these are perilous times and hidden agendas concerning the halls of truth and wicked games that mankind has been playing against since the dawn of time.

Answer 11

Well there's this organ called a voicebox, that creates vibrations and therefore sounds. Using the tongue and the lips to form words is a useful skill practised by human beings. I hope this answers your question or did I take you too literally?
