No, he's greedy. He wants to be both the neighborhood "Snidely Whiplash" and the village idiot.

But is there some kind of statute of limitations that excuses genocide?

Are you implying that if Bush had not invaded Iraq, which slaughtered roughly 10,000 innocent men, women and children in March 2003, even though there was no imminent threat, this would have meant that the U.S. was excusing Saddam's pre-1991 atrocities?
What kind of logic is that?

By your reasoning, taking the time to find better options to deal with Saddam, which could have resulted in saving the lives of many thousands of innocent people, would be tantamount to excusing Saddam's past atrocities. That's nonsense!

No one excuses Saddam's past atrocities. But, when there is no evidence of a real, significant and imminent threat, there are more rational and ethical ways of dealing with brutal dictators than recklessly rush in and invade and occupy a country, unnecessarily killing thousands of innocents, unnecessarily killing over 1000 brave U.S. troops, unnecessarily creating chaos, and unnecessarily increasing world-wide anti-American hatred.

Saddam was absolutely a threat, he was a terrorist. Now he is a prisoner! :bannana:

Skeptic,

I think that Saddam started out as a Bully

and the US wanted him to keep the Country in line

so that they could control the OIL supply to the USA .

Saddam was absolutely a threat, he was a terrorist. Now he is a prisoner!

...and now we have LESS threats and LESS terrorists in Iraq. Our troops can all come home now. Mission accomplished. Freedom on the march.

At this point, I'm quite mystified as to why he's being kept alive.

He should have "committed suicide" in his cell by now...

You should be thanking him for increasing world-wide anti-American hatred. That gives you more allies.

How much are you willing to bet he never makes it to trial?

But I s'pose the new Iraqi puppet government has to look legitimate, right?

So, you're saying he will? You're saying that Saddam Hussein will be allowed to defend himself in a public trial?

The new Iraqi government has nothing to gain by allowing that.

After all, dead men tell no tales...

Who on Earth has anything to lose by letting a madman talk his way to a death sentence?

You fail to realize that the folks trying him are all as crooked as he was; their hands are just as dirty.

And the Iraqi populace knows it.

Put down the aluminum foil, Gerald.

Next you'll tell me the folks running the new Iraqi government are upstanding and noble, and only interested in the well-being of the Iraqi people.

What a beautiful world you live in. Too bad it isn't real...

And, of course Bush. He supported Saddam when he gassed his own country. And Donald Rumsfeld had the cutest smile when he shook hands with the guy.
