Yeah, ok, tis true he did that, but it wasn't really related to the Iran-Iraq War. Reagan and Thatcher did a great deal of supporting Saddam in the 80's for the war against Iran, so it would be pretty hypocritical for the West to try him for anything in that war. That whole war was about getting back at the Islamic regime in Iran for the American hostage-taking in '79. Unfortunately the animosities it created linger in the form of the current incursions.
But anyway, yeah, he gassed communities of Kurds and Shi'a that were calling for their independence from Iraq. And for that he deserved to be punished. But in a fair and democratic process, not a sham trial and a (now) public hanging.
And if you look at his actual conviction, it was for one or two incidents in the early 80's. Though to be fair, there's a ton more he was never given a conviction for. |
ow ok..yeah they should had more trials and he should be convicted for more than that.. he got kinda away easy.. well.. now its to late anyway.. cheers and have a happy new year ;) |

| I knew a vid would leak...Im just glad it wasnt something that was at 8pm on fox during sweeps week type thing. It would have been taped weather the public saw it or not, to prove he is dead. I really didnt feel much over it, I cant imagine the pain he inflicted upon his people for so long. Just of what we do know, its awful. I cant imagine the stuff we will never know about. |

At the same time i wonder if this is staged. some obscure bunker, dudes with ski-masks. looks too much like another Al Queda fabrication.
This should've been public or something. For all we know Saddam's in Dubai laughing his ass off.
edit: let's not forget the Blair Witch Project camerawork. granted it's a cellphone but even i take better vids with my cell of Max Graham while dancing my ass off. |
