Perhaps that's what he deserves...

So Saddam was evil and deserved torture? What if the people he tortured were evil and deserved it? Shaky ground....

He gassed his own people and tossed them in mass graves. I don't care what the courts accused him of specifically.

Ok, so now we just went from "does it make us any better for killing Saddam because he killed" to "what if he had a reason for killing those people." Ha. Quit fighting for this piece of scum. He deserves none of your sympathy. Do a little research on what he actually did. I wrote a paper on it last year. Wish I still had it. He gassed thousands and thousands of his own people, Kurds.
