Saddam Hussein: Captured


looking very dirty and terrorist like indeed

A bad hair day will do that to a guy :tongue:

An interesting point, the same argument was made against putting Nazis on trial for the holocaust that took place in their own country. Occasionally, you get a dictator so bloody that he gets put on trial for crimes against all humanity.

I don’t think they will put Saddam in the usual international courts, however. The Iraqis who have been tortured by Saddam will want to have their own trial of the man, so we can see why they’re so upset with him.

Putting mass-murderers in prison is the most sane thing we do. :wink:

Here comes Saddam Claus! :cool_laugh:

:grin: I was thinking the same thing when I saw him with that beard.

They should send him to Guantanamo Bay, I’m sure Castro could give him a few tips on grooming.

You would be amazed how fast things can be done, as long as people pay enough for it… :smile:

though i must say i personally do not know much about dna analysing

Cause US is world police… sigh
I find it amazing how USA/Bush whine about weapons of mass destruction, when USA is the country that has the biggest and highest amount of weapons mass destructions weapons in the whole world…
Why is it ok for some countries to have this weapons?? I have yet to see USA care about the weapons israel have…

I still think Saddam is an VERY bad person, and should have had any power of a country…But however using the excuse about weapons of mass destruction to goto war is bullshit…

I think a good example is World War 2, when the Americans and Nazis were racing to see who gets the atomic bomb first. Why would it be ok for the Americans to get an atomic bomb and not Hitler? Why is it ok for a country like Britain to have nukes and not a country where they commit genocide against their own people? Why is it bad for a country to have nukes if it enslaves neighboring countries and puts them in concentration camps, but peaceful countries are allowed to have nukes?

I think the questions pretty much answer themselves. :wink:

yes but there is a difference between having some nukes for defending yourself which i feel america has the right to and saying that its bad to have weapons of mass destruction when they have alot more than any other country in the world yet seem to be the most against them
i mean wtf do they plan to do with the thousands of nukes they have i can accept them having tens or even hundreds but thousands?
doesnt look good for anyone in the world

It’s Cold War leftovers. Everyone wanted to make sure we had more than the Soviets, to feel safer and to deter them. Of course they all felt the same way and it created an arms race. Mostly, we make newer and better nukes, and you have to make new ones every so often, which adds to the total. But they get retired after a time.

What about when USA dropped a nuke in japan? That was total unecessary… killed tens of thousands of innocent civilian people and hurted/tortured many more just for revenge… Even today people are suffering because of this… Weapons of mass destructions is NEVER used for peace, it is made to wipe out entire populations…

And why should not other countries have the right to have nukes for defending themself also?

“Putting mass-murderers in prison is the most sane thing we do”

Yeah,but at what cost?I dont see how it could be the best way through killing thousands.If we follow this way we may run out of people to actually look for mass murderers.You dont use a tank to kill a fly.

At the time, it was believed using atomic weapons to end the war with Japan quickly would cost the fewest lives. This is still widely believed to be the case, since the Japanese military leaders were not interested in surrendering.

Perhaps other countries only want nukes to protect themselves, and have no hostile intentions, but we cannot necessarily trust them.

The military action in Iraq may not be the best way to get rid of a dictator like Saddam Hussein, but it is the best way that anyone knows of. :cool:

" The military action in Iraq may not be the best way to get rid of a dictator like Saddam Hussein, but it is the best way that anyone knows of."

Dont tell us you actually believe it.Thats the best way to fix all those businesses behind it not to find and bring one person to judge.Just look around whats happening now…all the countries are racing to whos gonna be rebuilding it:(.
Im not buying it and i suggest we all stop doing it cuz soon we may run out of people on earth to actually look for mass murderes.
Saying that killing thousands of people for a sake of capturing one man, puts the person thinking like that in one line with him.
How can civilizied country or countries for that matter still apply such methods???After centuries of wars and sufferning we didnt learn anything:(

But everyone should trust the allmighty USA? I hate it when other countries think they are better than everyone else and ontop of that force other countries to behave the way “USA” call the proper way.
But i guess they know what is best for us… sarcasm

And btw… I strongly believe that the IRAQ war was all about money… i really doubt it had anything to do with helping the iraqies… None of the “proof” of mass destruction weapons turned out to be true…

I still think it is nice that Saddam is gone though…

Well said.

I agree, the United States tackled this situation with all the strategy and grace of an ogre with a club, but were the civilian casualties truly unreasonable in stopping this tyrant from tormenting the country any longer?

I think their families should answer this question and all the rest shall listen

There are countries where there is injustice… but why dosent america do anything about it?? what about in Columbia how the drug lords pretty much run the country??

There are thousands of people dying every day from hunger and easiely preventable diseases… why dosent america have a strong interest in saving these people??

I cant wait for the day when America has compleate control… and i dont have to think very much cause i will have the media control me. yay!

U.S.A SURPASSES ALL GENOCIDE RECORDS!\

KUBLAI KHAN MASSACRES 10% IN NEAR EAT

SPAIN MASSACRES 10% OF AMERICAN INDIANS

JOSEPH STALIN MASSACRES 5 % OF RUSSIANS

NAZIS MASSACRE 5% OF OCCUPIED EUROPEANS AND 75% OF EUROPEAN JEWS

U.S.A MASSACRES 6.5 % OF SOUTH VIETNAMES & 75% OF AMERICAN INDIANS

Coming from an American: (who reads american textbooks and american TV)
It made us win the war. I need to read up more on WWII, but I believe we developed the Nuke just month(s) before germany would have, and if we didnt use the nuke, the axis could have won and the entire world would be under facist rule.

An interesting fact: The japenese did not surrender after the first atomic bomb, and only to the second when we said we had another one… we didn’t.
