Out of all of this hate and discontent among all of you fellow Americans out there, the thing that horrifies me the most is that many of you who are commenting are misspelling words that children don't miss. I won't go into any details on anyone specific, but there is actually a spell check button on most word processors. So I guess the one thing I'll say is that if you are smart enough to try and comment on one of the biggest international trials since the Nuremburg War Crimes, spell correctly.
Now onto Saddam, there is no joke that this case decision being delivered to millions of Americans is going to make the Republican Party come out smelling like a white mushroom. It is these large overall acts that go far in helping Republican candidates' constituencies ignore what the polls are saying, what their opponents are saying and even what they are saying.
Beyond this, Hussein was a dictator, but there is one thing that dictators do well, and always will do well, they control. People in Iraq did not have to worry about getting water, food, and electricity. Now, with the work Americans have done there, it is difficult to live day to day and with the insurgence and sectarian violence. The children, the mothers and the fathers of Iraqi families are dying each day. However, I will say this: We must not leave, why? Because we (meaning our president and defense department) made this bed called Iraq and now we must sleep in it. George Bush can stay the course all he wants to, I will not stay the course, I will advance the course with all possible speed. This needs to end soon and so therefore do the corruption of our government in this area, the death of our troops and the death of innocent Iraqi civilians.
Saddam's trial was just an overemphasized Hollywood trial to keep people's eyes of the real problems in Iraq. I know its hard to communicate sarcasm of the internet, but I'll be blunt...who thought that Saddam wouldn't get a death sentence, if there is anyone out there who reasonably thought he'd get away when anything other than death for his crimes, you are a fool and are blind to not only the trial evidence, but moreover, the political winds.

i didn't see a suggestion to fix the Iraq situation, just that everyone else is doing it wrong. perhaps you may want to clarify.
Hmm, I'm trusting that that is who I think that is, so I'll write one just for you.
