Saddam Hussein

<< < (4/6) > >>

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I must admit that I don't quite understand how a country that has never had a democratic system such as ours( :shock: ) and has only been used to a tribal or single party system, can just suddenly change.
It would be like the UK suddenly being told that we have to do as we are told, without freedom of choice, and all the political parties singing from the same hymn sheet.


Hang on a minute...............................

att:
We do not have a democracy, we have majority rule.
Not a democracy in any ones book, it is only democratic during voting, once votes have been cast, it is a ruling majority.

I have always thought the current system is a electoral dictatorship

bezzabsa:
all 3 major parties are all the same - claim they support the people, then when  elected shaft us all and vote them selves a 40% payrise...and as for green policies!!! :evil:

Lawnmower:

--- Quote from: "beast5680" ---i thought he was being tried by the iraqis? and that its their law thats being carried out. yes he may have been dethroned by the allied forces and then caught by them but if he is being tried by his own people under their own law whats the problem? any western society always has a problem with the sentencing carried out by islamic countries, its a difference of culture
we give an asbo for stealing they cut your hand off :shock:

Except that Iraqi law doesn't allow the death penalty to be used for a former president (or somthing like that anyway)

Under Iraqi law, Hussain shouldn't be killed.
Under British law he couldn't be killed,
yet US law does allow the death penalty, which is whats going to happen. In the US lesser crims end up on death row for donkeys years, so saddam gets 2 months?

Its all BS. They should have killed him 'by accident' when they captured him.
