    "becuase"? "cant" "half the time"??
    open a topic about grammar and discuss there about my English, Mr Perfect Grammar. Do not use the fact that I'm not a native English speaker to turn the discussion and hence to show that you're unable to provide an answer.

    Ah, I forgot: in Italian we call people like you "cagoni"

    I dont care if your grammer and punctuation arent perfect, you just dont form clear sentences. dont take such offence to it, i'm just trying to help you out so we can have a normal discussion.

    i don't know about the US. Or, i know, but since you would tell me "how do you know? you're not even american", I pass that to some american people.
    But here in the UK, who's the people that have difficulties in getting out of jail? That stay longer than their sentence without motivation and can't appeal against that? That are deported from jail to countries where then they disappear or are tortured?
    Answer: the most vulnerable classes of the society: immigrants, asylum seekers, poor people... That means: people that are not informed in their language about what's happening at the processes. That are not informed that they can make appeal. That "are immigrants so are terrorists". That don't have money for a proper lawyer so have a lawyer that follow 75 cases per time...
    Welcome into the West, enjoy its human rights.

    great point, well stated and clearly written...

    this verdict makes me a bit uncomfortable - I'm not sure why... there's just something wrong about the whole thing.

    Yeah. For me it's because it really was not a fair trial according to international law as well as the whole death sentence issue, which in most civilised countries is banned (US and China excluded of course).

    I'm against the death penalty in this case....actually I am against in any case...I think it is a total hypocrisy to kill those who have been sentenced for killing....to me it sets a negative precadent....but I have always been against capital punishment...should be very interesting how this carries over in Iraq.....

    hanging him will gaurantee it. And remove any possibility of some nutbags in the middle east taking hostages and demanding his release. Noone gets released from hell, last I checked.

    I say we let the Iraqi children have at him like a pinata after he dies. The little savages would probably go apeshit over an opportunity like that.

    This verdict was decided on September 11, 2001.

    I wonder if anyone really believes his death means anything...like really the country is 10x worse without him in power....I think it will throw more fuel to the fire.....something that it really needs....geez

    Saddam understood the cultural differences between Sunni, Shiite and Kurd. Something that took a long time for him to come to terms with. I can see it taking even longer for a U.S. influenced government, because U.S. culture is completely different.

    The culture in Iraq is such that influence by a western civilization, especially the U.S. is degrading to the countries progress.

    Of course by saying that Saddam 'understood' the differences between those groups, most notably the Kurds, you mean that he understood that he wanted all Kurds dead.

    Of course, that IS what you meant, right?

    I dont understand the death penalty.. you kill someone for killing someone.. I dont get it.. last time I heard 2 wrongs don't make a right. Dont get me wrong, he is a sick fucker.. but I think hanging him is letting him take the easy way out. I think he should suffer and rot the rest of life in a tiny cold cell.. and payback somehow for all the suffering he has caused. Just because you make him go away.. doesnt mean the problem goes away. More shit may be happening because of this.

    I don't actually believe that. I think Saddam realized that wasn't a possibility in the end.
