I am finding it hard to swallow that anyone would feel sympathy towards Saddam in any fashion.

I wish I could say that I can't believe anyone could be so purposefully ignorant and display enough stupidity to think that because a person is able to recognize the execution of Saddam was about revenge means a person sympathizes with Saddam.

I wish I could say that but apparently I can't.

Why do some people always believe the world revolves around them and that every post is either about them or in reference to them?

I made a general statement of fact, some people have been very sympathetic towards Saddam.

…the more I think about it…the happier I am that when I saw Saddam standing over a trap door about to be sprung…with that huge rope around his neck…

…knowing that when it sprung he was going to fall and have his neck snapped…

…that I felt sympathy for him

I did feel sympathy for him…and I am proud that I did.

What's more…for the people who didn't…and especially for the people who apparently delighted in Saddam's plight and felt joy or exhiliration rather than sympathy…I feel tremendous sympathy for you also.

However, had Saddam been an American, I'm sure your feelings of sadness would not have materialized.

You are sure of that, are you?

You American conservatives are a pathetic lot! You've been on the wrong side of damn near every important issue this country has ever faced...and you have shown no improvement over the years.

You can take what "you are are sure of" LSM...and stash it where the sun doesn't shine.

Yes of course. Compare that to the measly 250,000 WE have killed. Of course, the people we killed would still be alive under Saddam but that's besides the point. I'm not sympathetic to Saddam, but I am not paying allegiance to Bush either.

How do you know they'd still be alive?

Frank is one of the few libs on A2K I would like to sit and share a beer with. He doesn't pretend and he doesn't put on the haughty airs many of his brethren do.

Because, CluelessMadam, they would be alive if WE DIDN'T KILL THEM!!!

There are some, as you well know, that would praise satan himself if it meant they could jab Bush.

When "Frank" said this to me on another thread, "Yiou are an American conservative which is far worse tha a whore or madam" I took offense to that. Since America isn't the only country with conservatives, I could only take it that he meant Americans.

Oh, don't get me wrong here, Frank can be very offensive. In fact, he has made my blood boil in the past, but that's Frank and if you just remember that fact, you get over it.

Nothing wrong with taking offense to Frank and feel free to give as good as you get.

I wish it was the UN which had tried Saddam, for crimes against his own people.

I also wish the UN could try Bush for crimes against humanity, in Iraq.

Yes. The UN War Crimes Tribunal. That's what it's for. An international body of legal experts whose job is to exercise the law impartially. I can't think of a better available alternative, can you?
Surely preferable to the fiasco that has occurred with Saddam's trial & execution? And the ongoing problems that will result.
And there's no other authority has the power to require that the US account for its actions in Iraq. And the US should be held accountable for what it's done. Fat chance, though.
