10 bucks says they make an episode of South Park where Saddam gets hanged, then craps himself...

well, i guess it's about time...although i agree with some of the soldiers, that this won't do much to end the war and what-not.

Correct. Saddam's been out of the country for some time now anyways. It's just something to boost morale and maybe George W's 9% (is that the current statistic?) approval rating.

I suspect a new slogan being something along the lines of "2007, the first Saddam free year!" followed by a ticker-tape parade, hookers and blow.

It might also be because of a little thing called "justice." I mean, you know...

Oh I agree with you, Professor S, that the man needed to die. But irrespective of Hussein's trial, my understanding is that the 30 day limit is Iraqi law, not just special circumstances determined by the courts for this one case. So the next person to be convicted of a capital offense will die that quickly, and that doesn't sit well with me.

Well, thats true, but then again 30 days is a lot better than a lot of the laws in the Middle East. I remember reading a story about a man that was arrested for molesting a child, so his "trial" was them kncking a wall on him. If he lived he was innocent, and if he died he was guilty.

Reminds me of the witch trials.

haha, the witch trials were priceless, we need to bring those back

good thing i'm a dude and therefore not a witch...
