Vamp... it would help the democracy over there, that's a good point, but I believe keeping him alive can only hurt. As long as he is alive, his true followers will always be trying to free him and they will always have a reason to fight. Also, what jail would they be putting him in? A US one or Iraq one? By making an example of him they are just making him bigger than what he is, a hero in a way. (I forgot the word for it)

Think about it, if Jesus Christ just got his head chopped off like he was a normal man instead of being nailed to the cross do you think his story would have had just as big of an effect on people?

All US is doing by giving him a trail over there is focing his own people to betray him... what happens if the jury decides that he shouldn't go to jail? US kills him... the only way he lives is in prison. I don't see the point. US can make then think it's there own decision, but the truth is it isn't. If Saddam could, he would kill each and every one of us, and god forbid he get ahold of the president, do you think Bush would live 30 seconds under that man's watch? Hell no. And pics of Bush's dead body would be all over the news in Iraq (just like he had his own people), so why on earth should we let Saddam live?

and Joeiss, from what I know, war isn't a sin, he should have been killed on the battlefield just like all the others who died because of him.
