Using your twisted logic - Bush should hang too. Six Hundred thousand dead Iraqis who had NOTHING to do with 9-11 surely merit capital punishment for those ordered the illegal invasion.

This doesn't apply here. He did these crimes - and more - for sure. But, the fundamental reason for the need to execute Saddam wasn't "criminal justice" (as agonised over in the article above) - that the punishment should fits the crime - but that it was a necessity as the only way of being absolutely sure that a hated, vengeful, cruel and kleptomaniacal dictator will not back with his henchmen. - a guest Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:54:49 +0100
