While I do think Saddam deserves his sentence, I don't think the current Iraqi government / courts should have tried him to begin with. The ICC while not completely effective should have been the ones to conduct an impartial trial and sentencing.
That said, does this bring a new president to US foreign policy ?
Will they now not shelter ousted leaders from prosecution... as they did with the Shah among others. Or are they deciding this on a case by case basis, if so the term justice doesn't seem to be applicable.

Yes, dead men don't tell tales. Killing Hussein before testimony about US complicity is important. And haste is necessary.
U.S. complicity in what ???
Sorry, but Saddam's had more than enough time to sing. Seems he has only hours now.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

He doesn't seem the singing type, but he'd make a good judge on American Idol.
I hope they play the same music the Undertaker enters to from the WWE. And I think it would be cool if for no apparent reason Saddam was put to death wearing a Cleveland Browns throwback jersey. If I were a crazy Iraqi dictator/mass murderer thats how I'd want to go...give the people something to talk about.

Cool, I was hoping for a snuff movie. We hang em he turns blue. Tongue and foam come out. Then we cut the rope with his last breath bam right into a meat grinder. Of course all on 9mm for historical posperity.

George Bush isn't in the same league as far as evil dictator goes.
Well it's true! He's semi-evil. He's quasi-evil. He's the margarine of evil. He's the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Jenny is quite justified being utterly disgusted with all the blood on Bush's hands.

All the blood ? That would be 'none', actually.
As for 'Democratic/ Democrats / Democrat' , I've never heard them referred to as Democratic party. If that's their name, then that's their name. Hardly rises to the same level of absurdity that compares Saddam to Bush. I freely admit my error, where as others likely won't. No biggie.
