Anyone else wish we had done more for Saddam's human rights?

Question

People say we violated his rights by executing him, that execution is wrong. People also say we shouldn't have invaded his country, that the war is illegal.

It sounds like the best way to have respected his rights would be to have let him live, since execution is wrong. And if we shouldn't have invaded his country, we really shouldn't have put him on trial; or toppled his government.

So to make up for it, we really should have freed him and issued an apology, right?

Answer 1

He wasn't a human and my only regret was that he didn't suffer

Answer 2

It would be nice if you could ask the thousands he murdered an why dont you join the USArmy an go over there an help the iraqs people out son an learn why we are there because you sure dont have a clue we the USA did not execution him the iraq gov did. An i was there in 03 an 05 an i do not owe nobody an apology so you are far from right an son know what you are talking about before you talk

Answer 3

It is too late to second guess either action. All of the wrongs add up to one big mess all around. Saddam was neutralized when he was captured but he was a citizen of Iraq and subject to their laws. The biggest problem with the execution is that the US governments fingerprints are all over the hang mans rope whether by perception or in fact. This is to be regretted.

Answer 4

The United States has fueled the barrage of anti-American sentiment by invading a country under a cloud of mis-information paving the way for the assassination of Saddam.

there are too many loose ends replete with conspiratorial overtones that reflect an arrogance that is supported even by the democrats.

Answer 5

somebody calling them puppets? sure i think of they verbalized the perspectives of many international. Kinda question the know-how of u . s . of Chavez, he seems very common with human beings who detest united states. As for Iran, From what i've got examine, seems the non secular chief is the single working the country, doubtful if the president words have been his or no,.whoever, is clever, considerate, and in a position to place at the same time a resounding argument. they are actually not appropriate relating to the "Imperialism" cost greater like "Capitalism," can have confidence that, and experience pal and foes alike might agree. have not incredibly discovered the politics of Iran so far it seems very like the previous Egypt and Libya different than a non secular ability fairly of militia. might desire to learn greater if cloth could be got here across, think of basically Arabs comprehend Arab politics.

Answer 6

Your thought process is flawed.
Who are you to say that executing someone is wrong? And then to go forward with this assumption and say that all is forgiven because we did something wrong to you.

My advice to you is to stop visiting the web sites that blindly support your views without regard to common sense.

Answer 7

Here's a basic premise for you:

In order to be entitled to human rights, you must, at a minimum, act like a human being.

I wish that premise would apply to all terrorists.

Answer 8

Some people wish we had done less for the human rights of black people.

Answer 9

yes I am sorry the U,S, has screwed up so bad , Sadam should have been tried in the Haig, in the world court, ( by international Law) he did not have one chance in hell and he could not present any evidence on his behalf, and was tried by his very enemy's who would not accept any type of evidence for his defense, now no one will ever know for sure who was or was not really guilty, and Ihave a feeling there are a lot of them WHO are getting away with their crimes, or did the U,S, plan it this way?

Answer 10

No, we shouldn't have invaded Iraq, but they would have executed him eventually, anyway. He deserved what he had coming to him.
