Sadaam Captured Alive

The issue at hand is simple. Saddam, a tyrant and ruler for a multitude of decades, has finally been apprehended. The death tole he has created is far greater than the loss of International troops in Iraq. He's an evil man, and served as a menace to humanity.

Iraq is, whether you like it or not, going to be Westernized and turned into an effective trading nation that can help the global modern situation, rather than injure it. The time for change is now.

As for trials for Saddam... I agree whole-heartedly with Strangler that it is a shame to see Saddam living. I'm not sure how the Iraqi populace would react to the "fair trial" of their dictator as opposed to just his simple death (When it comes to mass psychology, I draw a blank). However, I do feel I know the poor resultants of a trial... he will once again get his voice to his people. So long as he lives, a certain morale will stay high for those opposing American Iraqi occupation. On the other hand, however... now that he's in captivity, killing him may possibly turn him into some twisted Tyrannical Martyr.

I can only fear the worst of the situation, but I most definately hope for the best. Yesterday was a wonderful day. There's nothing else to it.

I agree Rndm. I was just abut to post the martyr thing. That wouldn't be good. He'd only survive about 10 years in prison. I think he should just rot in a jail cell for the rest of his life.

Strangler, if you want people to look at your side of the argument you should stop being so rude. You can't call someone else's idea stupid because you don't agree with it. I think some of the things you have said are stupid but you don't see me calling you or your ideas stupid. It's not fair to force your ideas on everyone and call other people's ideas stupid. That makes you seem very ignorant. Whether you are or not, i don't know. But I do know that you can't just thrust your ideas out there and act like they were written in the Bible or something. Putting people down isn't the proper way to get your point across.
