Ramsey Clark, a former US attorney general who is one of Saddam Hussein's lawyers, said that any death sentence against the former Iraqi president would increase violence in the strife-torn country.
"It seems clear that a guilty verdict will set off catastrophic violence" and that a death sentence would be even worse, Clark told a Washington press conference.
"It's hard to know how many Iraqis, dozens, hundreds, thousands, will die because of the sentence," he said.

Why don't we hang them both? Save the world a lot of grief.

Even if he's right, so be it. Should we stop punishing criminals in consideration of how "activist" might react? Kill his ass and do it quickly. Street marches in opposition make for prime bombing targets.

"It seems clear that a guilty verdict will set off catastrophic violence" and that a death sentence would be even worse, Clark told a Washington press conference.Given the current amount of violence, I'm willing to risk a Saddam public execution. The more violent, the better.
To: RDTF
People died in Iraq everyday because Saddam is STILL ALIVE.
There is an element of the insurgency that fully believes he will one day be the president again and they are helping to perpetuate the chaos until that time.
An execution is just what Iraq needs now.

Probably true. Also true if they don't hang him. Amongst those not educated beyond their capacity this is known as a 'wash'.

Saddam should be dead now. Part of the problem in Iraq is the dithering over the rights of assholes. He should be dead and Fallujah should have been flattened the first time.
To: RDTF
OK, let's hang Saddam and Ramsey side by side and tell the Saddamites that they were gay lovers..... that should distress the Saddamites even more...... /s

We won't really know until we kill him, so let's take the chance. Hey, maybe Sadam Insane will write a children's book and the libs will then adore him and ask for clemency.
I say kill him.

I'm pretty sure the opposite is true. Many Iraqis are justifiably wary of the Americans thanks to the President's father. If he had not encouraged an uprising, and then left the rebels to die at Saddam's hand, we might have more cooperation today.

Yeah, we should just apologize to Saddam and give his palaces and country back to him.
