Bottom line these sort of things are always going to be extremely opinionated, though it does help to put forward a comment with at least some factual backup, happy days,

Death rates because of the war far outweigh death rates under Saddam - under international law the unilateral invasion by the coalition without a UN mandate is illegal - the UN has said as much - as I said Might is Right - the US just wanted to take out Saddam so went and did it - not even the UN could stop them - that what makes it illegal - in 2003 waging war is illegal - we no longer live in a society that can just pick on who it choses - it may not be perfect but it is a start - there were other ways of dealing with Sadam and the US undermined the UN rather than giving it the teeth that it needs.

I can assure you - I know my facts. As you and others have said -we all have our opinions.

Well, I think the 150,000 Kurds that he killed and the 300,000 shi'ites that he killed might have something to say about that! Not to mention other Iraqis.

No matter who should've done or not have done whatever, an evil pathological killer is now no longer with us

Any views on any other polliticians/despots etc is a separate argument.

Why can't they do that to the polititions as well? :-(

One less politician at least. A bullet when he was hiding in his hole would have been a lot cheaper than a farsical trial that could have no other outcome.

I have a friend who did most of his growing up and early adulthood in the Emirates and Kuwait. His father had a senior job with an oilfield support company. He reckons sand n-----s should be declared outside the protection of law. His father has an even lower opinion, "shoot on sight" says dad.

Oh come on RobHay....

As long as you espouse 'Democracy, Freedom and Liberty' you can invade any country you want, kill as many people you want, destroy any infrastructure, impose foreigh policies and laws as long as you are big and might. As the President who ultimately issues and takes responsibility of orders given I see no difference in Saddam and George W. Bush. The US has sponsored terrorism worldwide for years to accomodate their own objectives.

But you will never see these guys up for war crimes......
