why not? He could be very useful. Just the sort of firm hand Iraq needs at the helm to hold it together.

Being the barbarians we are here in the US, we still have the death penalty. Why shouldn't Iraq?

Being the barbarians you are in the US, you still have WMD, too....

I understand, the US has done nothing for Europe and our big ol' weapons have just endangered the fine people that inhabit Europe and made their lives less safe.

As an American, I would like to apologize for being so good at what we do.

No, I asked why Saddam should be spared. I did not say that what's good for the US is good for Iraq, I said we have capitol punishment here and they have it there.

Your juvenile strawmen bring nothing to the conversation.

i thought we were bringing "western values" to iraq and the rest of the middle-east ?
is the death penalty one of the western values we want those countries to learn about ?
(not that i believe that SH was a particularly nice fellow . i do think however that he may be able to relate a few interesting stories that may be somewhat embarrassing to the western nations .
perhaps better kill him before he "spills the beans" ?)

What makes you believe that we have the right or obligation to tell the Iraqi's that they should not hang Saddam. Remember his crimes and brutality was visited against them not us. Would you tell those who suffered and had families killed by the Nazi's if it had come up to spare Hitler?
