Saddam Captured!!!!!!!!!

[Sleeping Fox]

I like that idea Amos!!!!! lol like a live wax museum of world scum...
all funds goto "Rebuilding Iraq"

An Iraqi who owns a business here in Arizona said that they should put Saddam in a zoo & let people go look at him

I think putting him in the tigers cage would be better(with the live tigers of course)..Now thats entertainment..
That would be too good of a torture for him but its not bad to watch.

........The trick now, though, is not to make Hussein a martyr and a rallying point for a "cause", which could backfire on the US and the rest of the world, which is what the tape of his capture may very likely achieve......

......I have to tell you, though, I was not impressed by the decision to show that tape. The last thing you want is for people to see him as someone to feel sorry for, and yet, that's exactly what I felt - and I didn't want to.

TD,
I fully agree that no sane person would even want him made into a martyr.
I do hope you are mistaken about the possiblities of that tape. Although there
a lot of screwballs out there. I think perhaps it was to show that he is Saddam and he is mortal and not the "god" that he tried to make his people believe.

You felt sorry for the man is the tape because you are in no way, shape or form like him or his followers. You have the ability to feel pity and sorrow for those that you perceive as being mistreated. They don't!
I must say, in watching the tape, that I too had the feeling of pity. But I quickly remembered all those innocent people that this "man" had ordered
put to death. The entire town that he had gassed to death just to see if and how well the poison gas worked.
If I were to have my way, which of course I don't, I would have him tried and convicted and spend what ever is left of his miserable life in solitary confinement. That way he is no martyr, just another thug behind bars where he belongs. I consider this "man" to be the epitomy of all that is evil. Saddam and ben Laden are brothers in that respect.
Oh, they have a god allright and his name is Satan. One could say that Saddam and ben Laden have both done an excellant job for their "boss"!
One day they will all fry together.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. God willing, it will eventually end.
God bless,
Mama san

Thank you, Casey. Yes, I agree that the best punishment for him is to spend it in solitary confinement; but as long as he's alive he'll still be a focus for disaffection, unless those who felt he was their benefactor (and there are many in Iraq who consider him to be so, ordinary folks like the people of Tikrit, not just the people who profited alongside of him) suddenly turn against him.

I will follow the trial with interest. There are already people who are rising to defend him in the upcoming trial, not because they want him properly defended but because they truly believe he did nothing wrong - and that, to my mind, is as horrifying as the acts he perpetrated.

Any feelings of sorrow or compassion should be reserved for Saddam's many innocent victims. Every arrogant breath this monster takes is a slap in the face of the hundreds of thousands of tortured victims at his hand..
As we know, he has escaped from prison before and as long as he is alive there will be supporters who will be willing to try and break him out again..
This should be a quick trial and a slow execution. Most Iraqui's wont look at him as a martyr or anything else but what he is and was-A mass murderer of tens of thousands and even his own people and most of his victims, less we forget, were Muslims.
He should be tried by his own people and done with however they deem fit. He's no martyr but just another criminal.

Don't underestimate the support Saddam still has in Iraq.I remember all the Iraqis dancing in the streets of Basra when them 2 British soldiers were beaten to death in the road.Not all his shows of support are forced. He may cause more problems for the West now than he ever did. Maybe the grenade was the best option.
