I can\'t believe Saddam is still alive. Huge Mistake.
This must be the worst misake the US made during the war.
We try to give Saddam a "fair trial" and look where that got us. I how many less people would have died had we just executed him? |

Is the claim that the aftermath of the Iraq War would have transpired much differently (better, from the perspective of US interests in Iraq? -- better for the Iraqi people? Both?) if we just summarily executed him? If that's what your claiming, could you expound on why you think that is? Because I suspect for many of us, it's not that obvious why that necessarily would be the case -- and if something is that obvious, it typically isn't worth discussing. Is it possible there was some breaking news about Saddam or the situation in Iraq I'm unaware of? And lastly, can we put something in 'The Constitution' sticky about starting such opaque threads? Because I'm not even sure what the OP is trying to discuss here. |

A large number of people involved with prosecuting Saddam have been assassinated. They've gone through, what, 3 judges now? I'm all for due process, but if there was ever a case for summary execution, this was it.

What are you talking about? We did kill him. Watch <u>Jarhead.</u>

How many less people would have died if we had just left him in power?

I agree with that. But that's not the discussion.
