Cripes- the Republicans SHOULD be celebrating a massive victory of terror

Sic?

& deserve every gain they can get from this- the dems can whine all they like- but the plain simple fact is that if they were in power, Saddam and his scum sons would still be murdering multitudes of innocent Iraqi civilians-

As opposed to the mulitudes of innocent Iraqi civilians being murdered today, and yesterday, and the day before that?

Oh, I get it now -- it was all about *privatizing* the murderers. We've brought the free market to Iraq!

their policy has ALWAYS been cut and run and then comply with the terrorists

3 examples, please?

I don't think anyone will cry over Saddam. As far as Baghdad being "quiet" what does that mean? Only half the usual number of dead bodies in the street at the end of the day?

Hang em high...

No matter what you think of the war, the verdict is a triumph for humanity and the Iraqi people. A mass murderer has been brought to justice....

James; I've no doubt whatever that Ramsey Clark put up an excellent display of lawyerly defense for Mr. Hussein. That's because I'm equally sure that Ramsey Clark considers Saddam Hussein innocent of all charges and probably considers and to be a hero. A man of the people... even as Saddam himself considers himself to be a hero. Consider the same as defiant words from the box: (Sky News)

"Allahu Akbar!" (God is Greatest) and "Long live the nation!", he shouted, pointing defiantly at the judge as the verdict was delivered... Looking away in disgust, and then staring angrily back at the judge he continued to shout "Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!"

It is quite clear to me at least, that Mr. Hussein hasn't figured out yet that he is an enemy of the people and "death to the enemies of the people" is precisely what this sentence was all about.... And in case nobody's noticed; Baghdad is quiet as this is written. So much for the DNC cries of "we've had no progress in Iraq" ...

And as much as I think our interests would've been better served by a realpolitik befriending of him post-9/11, it's hard to argue with the verdict.
