no i dont think i need any schooling from the likes of u! since u seem to believe everything that is printed. if u beliee saadam is where he is then so be it I dont give a rats ass. I do know he is a war crimminal being held in prison by the us. and if it suits us to think he is in iraq then so be it who is any one to argue?

a) He's being held by an Iraqi court in Iraq. The US is providing security

b) Do you have a point, or are you just trying to make yourself look less silly?

It would probably improve the quality of this argument to no end if you would both calm down and stop the name-calling.

Now that I've got the nagging out of the way, I'm inclined to agree with KH. America's neighbors have historically not been keen to honor foreign contracts signifying "ownership" of a person, IIRC. The Underground Railroad and all that jazz. This is also a good deal more complicated than mere contract disputes; the man was basically acting as a law enforcement officer for a foreign country, on their turf, without their knowledge or consent, right? What country would take that sitting down?

Bull****. It would improve the quality of this "argument" if Texas didn't apparently give out free frontal lobotomies.

Simply leaving the US in violation of a bail agreement isn't a violation of Mexican law.

Is leaving Mexico in violation of an agreement against American law?

In most cases, yes, but said foreign national may file for asylum. We took in all sorts of people "illegally in the US for the sole purpose of evading the authorities back home." A lot of former Soviet physicists, for example. It's a case by case situation.

Well somehow I doubt Dog dabbles in being a bondsman for nuclear physicists.

Your government assisting our government is one thing. Do you turn a blind eye to private American citizens enforcing their laws in your country? I don't think the RCMP would be too thrilled to do that.

Chances are they would if they ever got out of the coffeeshop. I mean geez the US has to warn Canadian authorities of terrorists up here in Canada.

Hey, it's fine with me if they get shot while resisting arrest. Saves us a lot of time and paperwork.

Well I don't think they'd mind a few 'accidents' either.

Please restate. I can't parse that sentence.

elok i never called any one a name. and i asked not to be called names if thats so bad them what can i say.
Oh ok KH thats why the telecast showed him in washington dc after he was arrested. The Us just usually moves them back to iraq for good nature

Let me see.

The US would announce that they are keeping Saddam captive in Iraq.

That makes it a target for all his best buddies in Iraq and leads to the possibility that they could free him.

Wouldn't it be more intelligent to ship him out to the US and try him there?

[KrazyHorse]

Are you living in some sort of alternate Universe?

[SlowwHand]

If I accidently stepped on KH, I'd wipe my boot off out of habit. All the same.

Assuming that your lobotomy claim is true for the sake of argument, there is very little you can do to restore lobotomy patients over the internet. However, I assume that even lobotomy patients think more clearly when they're not being mocked. So my point remains: cessation of verbal abuse appears to be the best means of civilizing the argument. Booya!

What the **** are you guys on?

The court is in Iraq, in Baghdad, in the Green Zone.

This isn't really an argument. It's more of a sad demonstration of the effect of living in Texas on the intellect.

This is some sort of misplaced april fool's joke, right? You can't possibly be serious...
