No argument from me, but he had much more painful ways to torture people, ending in death. One of those would have been appropriate. Torture is one thing, execution is another. But, wrt stoning, Goggle a little and find out what this is really like. It is a slow, extremely painful, agonizing way to die not at all like the human hanging Saddam really received. Then the stoning is what he deserved. -- http://www.petersparrots.com http://www.insanevideoclips.com http://www.petersphotos.com What do you call a dwarf who throws the discus?

Had not the U.S. forced the Iraqis to put Saddam on trial before the entire world, they would have meted out the traditional punishment for despots like him - stoning to death. As to the last paragraph, President Bush probably has been over zealous in promoting these ideals, but then, we all know this is about oil, right? A stoning would have been preferable. Since we're on the subject of what we think personally vs. what is prudent for our governments to do, I would have paraded Saddam through the streets of Baghdad, later turn him over to its citizens, and let them do what they want, which would have been to kill him in the most gruesome manner possible. But, I like to think I live in a civil, compassionate country which values fairness and which also does not want extreme measures used by our military people who might get captured. The only way to ensure that the world believes we practice what we preach is to follow international law as well as American law and the Constitution. Fairness to evil dictators. For christ's sake. -- http://www.petersparrots.com http://www.insanevideoclips.com http://www.petersphotos.com It turns out that a several protected, rare birds in Germany have been feeding on a species of protected, rare fish. In response to this dilemma, exasperated German officials have decided to do the only thing that makes sense in this kind of a situation - kill all the environmentalists. |

"HEMI-Powered" wrote in message .. . Peter Hucker added these comments in the current discussion du jour ... If you mean Iraq, I'd agree that our military hasn't been used effective. But, the initial war in 2003 was over in only 3 weeks. And, I take great umbrage to foreigners who have no stake in this disparaging the brave men and women who wear our uniforms in the defense of freedom everywhere so I don't appreciate people who say we've gone soft. The whole world has gone soft. They've forgotten the meaning of the word "enemy". Giving an evil dictator a fair trial was just crass stupidity. The only "crass stupidity" here is you. You and the other pacifist non-contibutor countries should know better than to actually follow advise this disingenuous and nonsensical. I judge by the tone of your reply that you're a foreigner. Fine. Now, how about discussing your country's recent successes and failures in the War on Terror. We're just as soft as you lot. I'd blow up the whole of Iraq. What Socialist country do you live in? I hardly think the United States is soft, has gone soft, nor ever been soft, but I can't say the same for the Canadians, French, Germans, or even the Brits. And, countries such as Belgium, Norway, Sweden, and the like never have had a credible military. Your racist Now, wrt Iraq, I'd personally have followed a friend's advice - "turn the desert sand into glass". and not very smart I am well past sick and tired of foreigners who do no-thing to defend freedom and haven't since maybe WWII telling my country what to do and what not to do, meddling in our internal affairs, and disparaging the brave men and women who defend her with their lives. Apparently, you're so ashamed of your country that you won'd even say which Socialist state it is. Fine, just stay on your side of the pond. You're all talk. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |
