Yes, but then so do many others. You make it sound outrageous that the US might try and influence the legal/political nature of another nation when it has been going on for a long, long time, and when other nations (usually Western) have been doing the same. [/B]
In the big picture what you say is absolutely true, more powerful countries always impose on weaker ones, it's a big bank take little bank mentality and it isn't a knew concept...
What would be outrageous would be the outcry if America made Iraq change hanging as it's means of execution (and has been even before the war) or outright denied Iraq to have the death penalty as you mentioned above.
its late. im too tired to dance. you said:

Hanging has been Iraq's method of execution long before America went in.
the justification for hanging/death: iraq was already doing it.
doing it under saddam's rule...so then by that reasoning the new president should be allowed to use chemical weapons on shiites?
see where im going with this?
doesnt matter, i was just saying your reasoning is flawed.
the conclusion is irrelevant in what i was pointing out

They have been hanging people long before Saddam took control, so it being seen as a negative because Saddam did it is irrelevant.

That is irrelevant... What do you want to happen then? America to deny Iraq it's right to capital punishment or just deny them specific ways of performing it?
im not arguing that. in fact i agree. its (supposed to be) their democracy to do as they wish.
i was challenging your flawed reasoning regarding their past justifying the ethics of death penalty/hanging.
i hate repeating myself
