I hate the way American's are conducting themselves at the moment.

In their own set laws they are not allowed to give a death sentence, so why should they agree to a death sentence in this case? Yes, Saddam might have committed "crimes against humanity" but that doesn't mean that you disregard the laws that are already set that you agree with.

Iraqi law does allow a death sentence, but that doesn't mean that everyone should not reject it and see it as inhumane.

err i do believe bbc would be european news. but thats not the point, the judges were of Iraqi descent, and america had little say in the case about the ruling, since hanging isnt part of an american death penalty hence its happening in iraq and not here.

America still has the death penalty in quite a few places so may wanna check up on that before you say we are so bad and go against are own policies, when thats not true. and since when do they not allow the death penalty, i do believe they do, but i may be wrong.


and i hope they film it to, i wanna see the bastard die.

You want to see the bastard die? You advocate violence yourself, and yet agree that the charges made against Saddam are right and fitting? Doesn't that make you as wrong as him?

If anyone wants to see him killed, then you are sick, immoral people.

thats wrong, many states in the US allow the death penalty, and he was tried under iraqi law

I hope they film it.

I don't think they are allowed to by law. If they did, that would be an outrage. You shouldn't want them to broadcast stuff like that, if you do want them to, I'm sorry to say but your completely immoral.
