4. And the GOP Congress made legal methods for which we executed
war criminals using them in the past.

Yeah, a bit hypocritical. Everything this GOP Congress and administration has done defies logic and decency.

6. Bush yelled gleefully: "Hang 'em high" ain't legal here!"
I thinks it's disgusting and barbaric.

7. Oh, but the spin will be " a sovereign Iraq is hanging Saddam"
Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 12:18 PM by Solly Mack
but yes, the US, a nation where torture is government policy, is hanging Saddam for crimes against humanity.

Yes, the US, a nation that frames its own crimes as "mistakes" (so the guilty can walk free) is hanging Saddam.

8. Already I have run into too many people here at DU
who fail to understand that we are the ones who brought Saddam to power and while he was doing our bidding for us, which he was during the time period these crimes were committed, he was A-O.K. It was only after he quit doing our bidding that he was a bad guy.

Coincident? I think not.

Yes, without a doubt!

13. A bumper sticker that I see at the pool where my daughter's team
swims:

Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?

15. It's part of that culture of life thing. All lives are precious, except
those that "they" deem aren't.
