Does Saddam Hussein Deserve Death?

[NightBlade2011]

what should Bush get?

life in prison
death
let go

You think that Bush and Hussian should get the same treatment????? Sadam killed people so he could hurt America, Bush attacked him to protect Americans. You think they should be put on the same level. Think if Bushed hadn't of attacked Sadam could have attacked the U.S., and you could have been killed. So you would die just to bring Bush down????

almost gibberish but I understood the gist of it ..saddam never attacked america, there was absolutely no proof whatsoever saddam was going to attack

lololololololol

You know, declaring war isn't a crime. Gassing several hundred civilians is.

Seriously dude. WTF did he do?

We but in on Iraqs bussiness. He should be left alone.

Yeah. I disagree with intervening like this militarily, but since its a middle-eastern country, I understand fully.

:upstare: wrong, a war crime is a war crime is a war crime

first of all the US refused to ratify the International Criminal Court treaty prior to the invasion of iraq effectively removing themselves from criminal prosecution by any nation. They also passsed a law giving themselves authorization to remove by muilitary force US soldiers being held by the International Criminal Court ...so no US citizen could be tried in an international court for war crimes.

second, there are many war crimes, they are not all equal in severity

and lastly, bush violated international law ..the invasion of iraq was illegal ..specifically this international law (which was instated during the nuremberg trials)

"Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances."


that's just the bush admin specifically there are other war crimes including torture, civilian murders that could be attributed to the administration if the same criteria that the US used during the nuremberg trials were applied today

here's a good article that sums it all up

So stern, if a war crime is a war crime... Is a felony a felony?

Its a felony to look at through someone else's mail. Its also a felony to kill someone.

But a felony is a felony, right? :upstare:


I'm not arguing that Bush is innocent, but saying Bush should get the same punishment as Hussein, who gassed and slaughtered lots of his own citizens just because they are both "war crimes" is pretty ridiculous.

it's still a crime isnt it? that was my point ...I even said that not all war crimes are equal

point out where I said that

Fine you win sorry, I missed a large part of your latest post.

I was responding to you saying:

"yes both have committed war crimes"

to someone saying "Should they be put on the same level?"

You also said "wrong, a war crime is a war crime is a war crime" which is not a great point.

You can't put them on the same level any more than you can put the mail-checker on the same level as the murderer, is all I'm saying. They both committed war crimes and should be punished for it, but they were very different war crimes.

The good thing about being a citizen?

I mean that Bush war =/= Saddam gas

Gah. Who made that damned thing up anyway? I thought the Charter thing was nullified 40 years ago.

Life in prison, for the exact reason that I said the other guy should get life.
