Finally, somebody has their facts right. It was the united states and britain who made saddamn hussein the butcher that he was and it is the united states and britain who are ultimately responsible for the horrendous war crimes saddamn carried out. Without US weapons of mass destruction and US involveMent in the war between iraq and iran, saddamn would have been hanged back in the early eighties after a miserable defeat against iran. Now,when is the real justice going to be carried out? There are many past and present US presidents, Cia officials,... and their cabinet members as well as british government officials who need to be tried for the same crimes as saddamn and be given the same sentence. These people supported this terrorist and they deserve the same fate.

The media has been and always will be liberal dominated...You list the only conservative television news media that I am aware of...FOX...whereas, you have CNN, MSNBC (Freak, olgar-man), CBS, ABC, PBS, NBC, not to mention a lot of left-winged newspapers including the Washington Post, NY Times, Time, Newsweek...I mean, the list goes on and on..

What's funny, even with all that ammunition, you guys still manage to lose elections...LOL!

So, please spare me with your media spin...The media is on your side, not ours...

read this on the so-called conservative media you claim to be true...

I think John Kerry was correct in his analysis of people who end up in the Armed Services. BurningMan is a perfect example.

I understand your anger, Tuesday is coming.

No, you don't. My anger is for people like you who claim to be happy that Saddam will be punished, but refuse to give credit to the President that facilitated that. Moreover, you seem to think he's guilty of something worth a trial.

Tuesday is coming, but it's only the beginning. If the Dems take over, you'll see the beginning of the end. The Dems have no solutions for any of the problems this country faces. They have run their entire campaign against the President. Once they have the power they seek, then what?

More fearmongering, come on with the Republican talking points already.

Fearmongering? Now, what would I have to be scared of? For the last six years, the liberals have called us every name in the book, impugned our morality, our intelligence, and even disarmed law abiding citizens in their homes (New Orleans during Katrina).

All the Dems have done is campaign against Bush. They have generated so much hatred that they can't defuse it. They're going to have to find a scapegoat for all that hatred and I'll bet I know where they're going to direct it.

Of course, if you think it's going to be all hearts and flowers once the Dems take over, well, good luck to you.

It's all a matter of perspective.,...moral perspective. How many dead Iraqi's to get him? Oh, by the way....we didn't go to Iraq to save Iraqi's. We went there because we 'thought' we saving ourselves. Like I said, 'perspective.'

No We went to Iraq for oil and the people were lied to about all of it.

What I would love to know is what exactly does "winning" in Iraq mean? What do we gain from killing all of the people who are standing up against us there? What exactly do we win? Is it an ally? Because we have lost a lot of those over this war. Is it a base in the middle east? We already had those too. What is it?

Yeah...it's a real shame.

"Oh, by the way....we didn't go to Iraq to save Iraqi's. We went there because we 'thought' we saving ourselves. "

OK, fine. I think Saddam was a threat to the world. Your moral perspective is different. Who do you see as the big threat...besides Bush and us Conservatives?

cherev. You are only telling half the facts and you are twisting them to suit your needs. Bush facilitated the war that brought saddamn to justice but the bush's, reagan, rumnsfeld, cheney and many others made saddamn the butcher he was. The united states government gave saddamn hussein the weapons of mass destruction that he used to butcher the kurds and irainians with. He shot 60 or so of his cabinet members on national television for the world to see and donald rumnsfeld couldn't get to iraq fast enough to shake this b@st@rds hand and give him weapons of mass destruction. You had better do some research before you start snivelling over bush's and the republicans losses in next tuesdays elections. The only parties in our government who are not responsible for saddamns butchering of human life is the nations third parties. Take some time and check them out. LIBERTARIAN PARTY @ LP.ORG

If the Republicans lose in the next elections, it will be their own fault. I'm not snivelling about it. I'm recognizing reality. The Republicans are no angels. But it's the Dems who are stroking the fires of divisiveness in our country. They have no solutions other than to tax the rich (and they get to define who's rich), disarm law-abiding Americans while sparing murderers the death penalty, and promoting hatred against their "fellow Americans". Thanks, but no thanks. I'll just hang onto my weapons and hope America and the Republican Party (really one and the same) wake up to the danger within.

Cherex. If the dems take over it will be because the not so conservatives in the republican party gave tax breaks to the wealthiest americans. The repubs gave away our surplus on an unnessessary war instead of giving the money back to the people who earned it.(American taxpayers). It will be because republicans and democrats signed legislation to spy on americans, To sneak into our homes using warrantless searches. Signed legislation that allows bush to imprison indefinately, without trial, any american citizen who he deems to be an enemy combattent.Bush lied us into an unnessessary and illegal war. Bush has murdered thousands of iraqi men, women and children. Need I say more. People who support the democrats and the republicans are supporting terrorism. Bush and the democrats can pass all the legislation they want to shut people up, but when all is said and done, they can all go to hell and kiss their socialist a$$es.

"Need I say more"

So far, you haven't said anything more than what the liberal press has told us. Let's take one point - tax breaks. I got money back in my paycheck thanks to Bush. Now, maybe you consider me wealthy, but my cars are pretty old, my house isn't new, and I have to work for a living. I'm not complaining, just stating the facts. I don't think I'm wealthy. But it's not up to me. It's up to whomever has the power to tax me. Those making less than me want me to pay more. That's fair to them. But what's fair is if we all pay the same. You'll never get that from the Dems. They're the modern version of Carpetbaggers....exploiting the masses to gain power. They will solve nothing and will make things worse.

OK - so what now? Has this solved anything? If Bush was on trial, I fear I would conclude the same penalty. Yet, I disagree with the death penalty. Without redemption, there is no hope, without hope, life ends. We all need the chance for hope, even Saddam....None of us "the righteous ones" that is just so much BULL, and I fear that we do not really know the terms of this trial. The US put this man in power - are we not all responsible for what he did? Such hypocrites we are..... and Bush STILL LIES!!! and lives. Who killed more innocents? I dare ask....

hello. the tao isn't about peace and love tho. it's about a world of opposites in dynamic tension with each other, and finding balance between the two.

The 'supposed' christian way is to return love and forgiveness for evil.

The buddhist way is to return justice for evil, and return things to balance.

Lotta folks miss the point. You don't use the death penalty for revenge, it is about preventive medicine.

I am not interested in whether Saddam finds repentence. It isn't like he crossed a couple lines and can go back, he's responsible for untold misery.

As for the US seting him up in power, no one held a gun to his head to hold a gun to everyone in his countries head, let alone told him to pull the trigger. The US only supported him in the Iran/Iraq war as the lesser of two evils.
