I don't know if it's true or not but I have seen some articles that said Saddam has had a stroke and may die before his trial. I think it was a link on drudge. Anyways, it may be time for the bastard to meet his maker.

Damn, it was only a rumor
Guess we will have to keep our fingers crossed and hope he has prostate cancer. Whatever causes his death I hope it's painful.
I hope he makes it trial, I posted all previous comments because it helps explain the silence concerning your post. Many in the leftist community condone his actions or try to justify his behavior and would hate to see any justice done. You’ll hear a lot of Saddam is bad but…

It's pathetic that someone would even try and defend him.
Honestly, I am kind of worried about him going on trial. To many freaks, like the people on this board, that will ignore what he did and turn it into a bad US against a poor little peasant trial. I guess we shall see.
Good quotes. In particular, I really liked the scholar(LOL) El Brujo's comment:
"Unfortunately, most ignorant American pigs will see this as a "great victory against terrorism" and flock behind the neo-con's, fueling them to continue their neo-colonialist policies. That is why this event pisses me off (aside from the fact that Saddam wasn't the "evil totalitarian dictator" he is portrayed as by CNN and Fox)."
Oh, no, he wasn't an evil totalrian dictator at all. My bad. My mistake
LOL, ROFL, please...
I hope he doesn't end up like Pinochet. Milosevic is trying the same "unfit to stand trial" trick, too.
Actually, I really just don't care whether he lives or dies. He is ultimately, unimportant.
Also, I noticed that you posted messages by Bolshevika and Ceacescu, both of whom were banned if I remember correctly. A lot of those others are still pertinent point, however.
"Turn Changchun into a city of death" -PLA Field Marshall Lin Biao, May 30, 1948
"When we heard outside the city that so many people had died of hunger, we weren't too shocked. We had been in and out of piles of corpses and our hearts had hardened... But when we entered the city and saw what it was like, we were devastated. Many of us wept. A lot of us said: We're supposed to be fighting for the poor, but of all the dead here, how many are the rich? Which of them are Nationalists? Aren't they all poor people?"

Thats why we let the Iraqis deal with him and keep International Criminal Court out of the trial. The people won't let him off the hook for his crimes.

What an odd thread.
Being mortal, Saddam Hussein will die from something.
So will you.
But here's a little wager: go join up with the occupation troops, why don't you? And we'll see who dies first, Saddam Hussein or you.
Good idea?

Theres no way this can be a fair trial. I say we bring up Nuremberg again, and hang Saddam, Bush I, and all others who helped commit genocide in Iraq.
That's not capability, that's mathematics and environment. Saddam is one person in custody, which is, fundamentally, safe. Coalition troops are thousands and obviously in a hot war zone.Originally posted by redstar2000@Jul 29 2004, 09:26 PM

Here is a more fair comparison: Lets see who dies more, coalition troops, or Iraqi resistance fighters?
Oh, we know the answer to that one.
The majority of those quotes are irrelevant. Bolshevika, El Brujo, and various other people you mentioned were authoritarian communists/'Stalinists'. In case you haven't noticed, the views of those communists and the more libertarian communists on this board are nearly diametrically opposed. The quote by Exploited Class displayed no sympathy for Hussein. She just stated that she was disgusted by the fact that a surge of blind nationalism would surface within this nation's population. AllTomorrowsParties didn't even mention Saddam. She just talked about driving. DeadMan just stated that Saddam regrets things he has done, and then talked about Bush.

I would say that the cost though is much higher for the Americans. As I understand it, it costs about 50 bucks to give a guy an AK and tell him to shoot at a GI. On the other hand, it costs about 25000 just to keep a GI in gear and food and shelter for a year.
So, unless you are killing them at a fantastic rate, you are losing.

Well, we are killing them at a pretty fantastic rate.
Not many coalition trops are really dying, relatively speaking.
Plus, our investment will have a return, while the insurgents are just paying with lives in futility, as they are merely postponing the inevitible.
And finally, believe it or not, I would surmise that 25k to the US government is much less, proportionately, than $50 to the Iraqi resistance.
isn't that the same thing that happened in vietnam? and as "win" and "lose" would be inappropriate terms, who pulled out first?
yeah, let's run up that slightly major thing called a deficit just a little bit more. and your kids are going to be paying for it all.
with the money america has spent on the war up to this point iraq could have been fed for all of eternity. the world could have been fed for something like 18 years.

Hmm, if Saddam is to stand trial for crime against humanity, should those who aided him in carrying out such crimed not also be in the dock?
Now, just who did support Saddam in the war against Iran? and who did stand by whilst he gassed the Kurds?

Iraq was much better off with Sadam in charge. If you need to know why because you are obviously a moron and blind to what goes in Iraq right now post back saying so and I will discuss why Iraq was better off with Sadam in power.
I imagine your 'insurgents' are expecting a return on their investment too. If they win they gain sovereignty of their land (whether you think that right/wrong) at the very least. It ain't going to happen however.
Adiel: How can you defend a country where 5 percent of the people control 95 percent of the wealth?
Lisa: I'm defending a country where people can think and act and worship any way they want!
Adiel: Cannot!
Lisa: Can to!
Adiel: Cannot!
Lisa: Can to!
Homer: Please, please, kids; stop fighting. Maybe Lisa is right about America being the land of opportunity, maybe Adiel has a point about the machinery of capitalism being oiled with the blood of the workers.
I knew you’d resort to editing and removing my posts at some point. You have too, because when the previous comments your comrades are exposed they look foolish.
I don’t see how that makes them irrelevant, they do represent communist thought.
All Communism is authoritarian by necessity regardless of the slogans that are chanted. The only way one can denigrate and destroy the rights of the individual is with the power of the state.
Unfortunately an apparent authoritarian communist decided that no one in the forum should view those previous quotes. Would you be so kind as to post them verbatim so that we can have a debate? If I posted them it would be “spam”.
