If "we" didn't hang Saddam, who did?

Unless my facts are incorrect, Saddam was apprehended by US Armed forces and imprisoned by them. He was then turned over to Shi'ite muslims for execution. Shi'ite muslims also presided over his "trial" - "crimes against humanity."

How can a sect of muslims who wish Saddam dead, judge him for "crimes against humanity"? Saddam should have been tried in an international court in the Hague.

The more I see here, the more I get nauseous.

If Rumsfeld and Reagan supported Saddam in the 80's then would that make both our past and present administrations guilty by association? I ain't gonna go down this path as one can then accuse Ariel Sharon for all that happened at Sabra and Shatila.

Please understand, I am no liberal. But I do follow the US Constitution and the US Bill of Rights.
How did hanging Saddam Hussein make the world any safer?
We are missing our original target: Bin-Laden.
No word about him from the White House ;>

I like Bush - a lot!
But hanging (handing) Saddam over the Shi'ite's is not what I would call American justice. Bush made a mistake on this one. He's human. Just pray that it does not cost the US or Israel any troops or civilians.

Best wishes for a peaceful and secure 2007 from Israel.
