lol thanks ^^ Anyway, g'night fellows I'll leave you with this before I leave, 'tis a fantastical and interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson
I was pleased to find that someone posted an article on the Net about Saddam and his speedy execution. I had wondered why it was 'thirty days or less,' then had a talk with a friend about the whole execution and about how Saddam was only on trial for the Dujail deaths and not for the massacre of others he killed. Why? US involvement in Saddam's acquisiton of chemical weapons, and the US going to his defense in the situation against Iran. http://www.lexpress.mu/display_news_dimanche.php?news_id=78772 Here's the site of the article. Some may find it interesting. I am not saying that Saddam did not get what he deserved, he actually deserved more, but there is an unsaid truth and apology that goes along with previous US involvement.
In the cold war, many secrets and "lesser of two evils" deeds were done. Keep that in mind the next time you see a USSR/CCCP flag in an antique shop.
My suggestion is to read up on Iraqi law. There is a very clear definition to each question you pose. He was hung within 30 days because that is what Iraqi law requires. No one was hurrying anything. That is their law. He was only tried on the one crime because in Iraqi law there is no sense in trying someone over and over for several crimes once they are already convicted of one that carries the death sentence. It's kinda redundant, don't you think? Anyway, sorry to paraphrase, but this is taken directly from what I have read about what the Iraqi criminal justice systems says in regards to your questions. The US's involvement in Iraq has no bearing what so ever on the case, judgment or penalty. Your post and the link you've provided are complete bunk. Why must people continually resort to making things up? And thanks for reviving a dead thread about a dead beat, dead dicktator!
The U.S. asked for Saddam's execution to be delayed, and for it not to occur on Eid. The Shiites did it when they did it just to piss off the Sunni's. It's a mad mad mad mad world.
Do not disrespect Dictators witk words like these(Dicktator) Dictators live and die for their country Saddam Hussein is not a real dictator so do not call him a Dictator! Also Iraqi law has been framed only by U.S and some exiled Iraqis and not like us (India) Where our own constutional experts framed the Indian consitution!
In my old age, I admit, it is getting harder and harder to detect what is and is not sarcasm. You cannot possibly be serious. I give up.
Almost right, if you replace two words If the dictators gives a fuck about their countries, then they would allow their people to replace him. But then they're not a dictator anymore. Because a dictator is defined by wikipedia as: I can't find anything about that dictators caring of there country in that article. Actually, how much they personally 'care' about their country is irrelevant as long as they fall in the general definition. Also, saying that Saddam wasn't a real dictator makes as much sense as saying that the sky over Paris isn't a real sky. It doesn't make any sense as long as you don't have any valid reason for not define the sky over Paris as a sky like the others.
I'm still waiting for an example of a dictator who made their country a better place for having been there. Asked weeks ago. Don't think anyone has come up with an example.
I must have missed that post. I would like to nominate Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore as the worlds best dictator. Chiang Kai-shek did wonders for Taiwan, and is seen by many as a dictator. Augusto Pinochet led a brutal regime that delivered far better results than competing ideologies in neighboring states. Suharto of Indonesia, although eventually toppled under the weight of his own corruption, did better than average.
Indian law is an absolute copy of the british law, Our legal system is more than 50 Years old and outdated
Yeah, that is the democrats machinery, going for cheap laughs with no meaning behind it. Many have been sold. But most people know better.
Bush killed more than 5 lakhs people in Iraq who were innocent... Do you think it is ethical to kill so many in order to just to hang one? Saddam was a killer but bush is a mass killer... I don't think this is justified... Think of it there were innocent women and children who lost their everything... I think Mr Bush should bear their expenditures now...
