thank you. now this is a fact. and he will become a martyr. but i don't think a few of you realise the important bits: He was sentenced by His own people He was executed by His own people We [the west] had "found him" he was then given to the UN who let him stand trial in an iraqi court so there will be no reprisals against us for the majority. at least not here. and while some of you may not agree with the principle of hanging; i really don't think you're in a position to comment, given the fact that most of the iraqi people are living in the wake of what he did. for those who are chumps, here is a brief summary: Executed political opponents started a war between the government and police started a war with iran gassed a shitload of kurds invaded kuwait had equivalents to the SS and Gestapo etc. so it's not really anyones position to judge it, They lived with it, They sentenced him. to wich i say, fair enough.
