i have read what he has supposed to have done, but i have not sat in a court room to hear the evidence, i dont trust the meddling of the judicial system in iraq by an american backed legacy, once shy twice bitten ?

Did the troops decide " lets do it " ?
I dont think so!
Bush/blair have blood on their hands, for all I agree with the hanging of sadam, for all the good it is supposed to do :erm: I feel a lot of hypocrisy going on.

How is it possible that somebody snicked in a mobile and recorded Saddam's hanging? (the video was broadcast by algazeera, recorded by fox and by now everywhere on the web)

One would expect high security for such an event or it was deliberate...

If you say that he is guilty then what is there to question? :shrug:

It was many years ago, when Saddam Hussein was at the height of his power, that a nervous European journalist plucked up the courage to ask the Iraqi leader whether he had ordered political dissidents to be tortured and even killed. Saddam took no offence at the question and eased back in his chair. "Of course," he replied, genuinely puzzled by the naivety of the interviewer. "What do you expect if they oppose the regime?"

I will rephrase my question - do you believe that Bush/Blair, or any of the Coalition commanders, have directly ordered the killing of innocent civilians?

Or is it more likely that there have been civilians killed in cross-fire, by accident, by other Iraqis, and sometimes (imho, rarely) on purpose by troops who have been under unrelenting pressure and "lost it"? None of which lessens the death and suffering of the Iraqi civilians who have been killed or injured, but I find it hard to countenance that British troops would willingly breach the Geneva Convention.

British soldiers I'd agree with you, however I don't have the same faith in some of our allies

War is War, We have a duty to protect others not so fortunate as ourselves. Did we start Murdering innocents? I don`t think so.
We were not the one`s with the suicide bombers killing innocent women. men and children. Would you not protect your family or stand up for a friend being bullied at school? This is no different apart from the firepower being used to counteract the firepower being used.:erm:

*waits for reply that ignores most of what you've posted and says something like "Oh so we protect others by blowing them up do we?" from someone who probably marched to keep saddam in power*

No need to " rephrase " your question THANKYOU!

The commanders HAVE ordered bombings of areas populated by innocent civilians, correct?

The fact is that bush and blair have blood on their hands.

The government backed the bombings in Baghdad, that killed and injured countless innocent humans, this is the same government that opposes executions on humanitarian grounds, ( but maybe its ok if youre in miami )

You cannot have both things, in other words you cannot bomb and kill innocent people yet oppose executions on humanitarian grounds, please look up the word hypocrisy.
