Then why did you post?

Why is it always people who say "Bring back hanging" who always say "Hangings too good for them"? I wish these people would make their right wing minds up.

who actually sentence leaders to their faith what if a court found GWB guilty of certain aspects would the sentence be followed

Indirectly GWB has probably been responsible for half as many deaths as Saddam. Maybe even as many. Watching the news tonight of the opening attack on Baghdad and wondered just how many people died for every explosion seen.

and what court judge leaders with even a sent of credibility

Anyway, Bush did not carry out this trial. Bush did not sentence this man to death. Bush did not decide he was going to be hanged. Iraqi's did. Be angry at them. Not us. Despite what some people in the world may think, the US does not control EVERYTHING.

And Roosevelt was responsible for even more. Your point is?

We had a discussion about the Death Penalty. No one blames "you".

It's about time.

Not that a trial was even needed.

A trial wasn't needed. But a showtrial was. With a verdict conveniently postponed to a few days before November midterms in which a party with a history of timing national security "events" to coincide with the political calendar stands to suffer defeat, by an independent judiciary with no ties to the U.S. administration, despite having U.S. advisers and trying Saddam under statutes that were drafted by the U.S.

Saddam could have been tried in the ICC, a permanent judiciary specifically for the trial of individuals for genocide and crimes against humanity. But he wasn't.

What other option to the Death Penalty is there that is effective?

THANK GOD THAT HE'S GOING TO GET HANGED! IT'S WHAT HE DESERVES FOR KILLING ALL THOSE PEOPLE ON 9/11! NOW HE WON'T BE ABLE TO KILL ANY MORE AMERICANS! GOD BLESS THE US!

And in what way was Roosevelt responsible for more deaths?
