Totally man, I bet you the majority of americans wanted Sadam to live!

I disagree,
The majority of americans voted for bush.
The majority of americans are obviously republicans.
The majority of americans would probably vote to hang Sadam.

We can speak in probablies until we are blue in the face. Claims like that require factual backing.

whatev. dead is dead is dead. i, for one, am not displeased. hanging, lethal injection, electric chair, stoning... it all amounts to a well-deserved death.

Eligable voters as of 2004: 221,285,099
Number of Bush votes 2004: 62,040,606
% of eligable voters who voted Bush in 2004: about 28%

It was a real mandate, riiiiiight.

Ethan, you aren't exactly write when you say stuff like "the majority of Americans are Republicans", because the majority of Americans fall in the center of the political spectrum.

You so serious.

Actually post-dealignment, a majority of americans I believe are registered independants, but there hasn't been a year in the last 100 or so where republicans have been any kind of majority. Even in 1984 at their peak democrats still out populated any other catagory.

Republicans are less likely to defect. Democrats more likly.

Republicans do a better job at courting independants.

The higher the office in the election, the higher chance of defection.

This man deserved to die. The atrocities against the Kurds alone justify his hanging.
What I fail to understand, judging by previous posts in this thread, is the distancing (by some of the Americans) of responsibility regarding his execution.
Make no mistake...Iraqi law, Iraqi execution...yes.
Nothing to do with America (and Britain)...no.

He's Saddam Hussein.
I think I support a hanging in this case.
Nuff said.
Cheers to this.
