Their illegal invasion of Iraq, based on lies, has killed many more Iraqis than Saddam ever did. So if he deserved to be hanged, what about these two war criminals? (according to the Nuremberg judges, launching a war of aggression is "the supreme war crime").

Might makes right. That's the big picture of today's reality. It's not important if you are right or wrong, what is important is how powerful you are. In case, you missed it the first time, let me repeat "Might makes right." Saddam also worked under this principle but he found out there are others in this world who are a lot more powerful than he was.

The same thing happened in Germany, the majority of population were being distracted from the truth by the propaganda machine.
Today the propaganda machine is much more powerful and very finely tuned. A lot of the media in this country and the states are now run by a handful of very wealthy people. If someone can control these sectors of society then obviously they control it's content.
If you take a look at people like Rupert Murdoch who's view's are very right wing and watch his FOX News network you will see the bias of not one but all the presenters. I think at the run up to the last election 80% more coverage was given to Bush rather than his opponent... It's slogan incidentally is "fair and balanced, we report you decide".
You have to see it to believe it... I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
It is very funny to watch too.
You also have to take into account that the country is at war and a lot of the information from over is reported via strict military channels and a lot of the truth does not get through. If you look back at history this happens on both sides. So I wouldn't believe figures from either side especially about what Saddam did or didn't do... They seem to have wanted to get him out of the way pretty fast.
There have been apparently more Innocent woman and children killed since the start of the war than Saddam had ever done.

First of all, in saddams reign, he killed 1.5 million of his own people. I'm pretty sure that far outnumbers the deaths related to this war. And second, just because your opinions don't agree with Bush and Blair doesn't mean they should go to trial. How can they illegally invade Iraq. All the president has to have is the approval of Congress to wage a war, which he got. He has not stepped beyond his duties in any way. Once the Commander in chief is approved, by congress, to wage war, it is his job to do whatever is necessary to prevail. The only thing Congress can do is cut funding, which we all know will not happen.

Once again, all you have voiced is YOUR opinion. Lies? Your OPINION. For the record, the intelligence he used to make his decision was also read by and believed by the UN, Kerry,Clinton, Clinton, Kennedy, most nations, the US congress, the US senate, Albright, all of clintons cabinet etc etc etc....
War of agression? Says who? You? I think you need to more closely examine the ways, methods, actions and other events associated with the Empire of Japan and the Third Reich. If you had, you would not make such utterly ignorant and assine comments.
Illegal by who's standards? Yours? Sorry, that doesn't count. Once again, opinion.....
Since you quoted an alleged "fact" please post your statistics as to the number of innocent civilians that where murdered by Saddam over 30 plus years, along with the numbers of Iranians he killed, the number of rapes committed by his family, the number of rewards he paid to homocide bombers is Israel.
Then post whatever figure you have linking Bush to the same number or more of the same crimes. Lets go. Put up or shut up.
Instead of unsubstainiated claims, try using actual fact. The vast majority of civilian deaths in Iraq are done by foriegn fighters, sectarian militias, death squads and common thugs. To make a statement the Bush has killed more Iraqis then Saddam really shows how ignorant and far up your anal canal your head is. Its amazing to me that people can actually be so ignorant. Be for the war. Be against it, but at least make up your own mind based on legit facts and not the crap you are reading on the far left sites. Having other people tell you what to think and then passing those ideas off as your own, with no evidence or facts is really ignorant.

Gimme a break! Bush committed no crimes and did NOT go into Iraq illegally. He had to get the ok from the UN to do so and, if history serves me correctly, even DEMOS voted for the war! Saddam was in power WAAAYYY longer than Bush (for the past 30 or so years) and so, Saddam killed many more people during his evil reign of terror than the number of brave soldiers we lost during the war in the past few years we've been there. The terrorists in Iraq and other nations are the oppressors who are against freedom! They are the TRUE criminals, as every American soldier fighting over there will tell you! Bush has NOT committed ANY crime. Just because you don't agree with his decision to go there, doesn't make him a criminal!! Get your head on straight and return to reality!!
