Saddam Hussein arrested

4th or 5th?

China and then Iraq? There's a bit of a difference.

1 million poorly armed militia doesnt make one of the world's largest armies either me thinks.

besides, if he had one of the world's largest armies, if he was even remotely dangerous, i doubt the us govern. would do anything

Well, mixed emotions really. I feel sorry that he looks so pathetic, really a shell of a man - any man. But then again I feel sorry for Charles Manson, just for the fact that the guy is crazy as all hell.

Immediate emotions aside, and remembering the pure hate that came out of this man, I have to say that I would never shed a tear if he was shot in front of a firing squad. The guy is now someone totally without control of his destiny or life. - As it should be for someone like him.

What you sow is what you reap.

well we can agree on that. We showed what happens to a million man army in gulf war I. They are sitting ducks without an adequate air force to protect those million men.

well I'm inclined to agree for the most part. It would be a mistake on my part to show pity. The enemy can use weaknesses like that.

But was he really a man of pure hate? I think he was a weak leader myself; who appointed men who were full of hate. Of course he did nothing to stop the atrocities his men created, but that may be more out of weakness, rather than evilness.

opposition to america is not hate.

killing 1 million kurds is

I wonder how the rest of the Arab world will react. I half suspect they will be sad to see the Americans won yet again.

I return home today with a very bad feeling...
I was out doing some christmas shopping, when I overheard this conversation:

"Did you hear? The caught Saddam."
"Yeah I heard. Isn't Bush great? He caught Saddam! Clinton didn't even catch Saddam. Now it's only a matter of time before we find Bin Laden!!!"

[Bereta_Eder]

what's wrong with that? aside from the misconception about Clinton's role in this. Eventually we may get Bin Ladin. What's the problem with that?

[Harry Tuttle]

Dissident: I think he was full of hate, or at least a domineering sense of the world that equated to hate. Saddam did some bad things (I'm sure he didn't think of them as evil at the time i.e. sociopath 101).

And no, Clinton didn't catch Bin Laden or Saddam. He just told others to push buttons to fire missiles to blow up radar stations and to not confront the problem of Saddam.

-----But anyways.....

Clinton didn't have the luxury of a national catastrophe on the scale of 9/11 occuring so he could make a convincing case to Americans and the rest of the world to go to war in Afghanistan to get Bin Laden, nor to dupe people into thinking such a thing was somehow related to going after Saddam.

Absolutely not. He should be tried by his fellow Iraqis, his "peers" and the survivors of his reign of terror where he murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians. Funny how all the people and countries who supported him in this last war and tried to keep him in power to continue mass murdering his own people all seem to be on the news pleading for him to be tried in the Hague.

The current American Administration and the Iraqis seem to see eye to eye on this. The Iraqis should try him.

They also seem to see eye to eye on a three phase trial system:
1) Try his a$$.
2) Convict his a$$.
3) Kill his a$$.
