bout time really init :wink:

When does Bush's trial start :roll:

I thought the verdict was set before the trial started.

Just watched it on the BBC. Its amazing that he just looks like a dejected old man now and not the once influential figure he used to be.

End of next week - cant wait.

I don't believe in state execution under any circumstances.

well in the case of genocide and SV theft i see no problem :)

I'm with you........it will make a martyr out of him. Lock 'im up for the rest of his days.

My 2p worth...
 

Execute him or let him go with no conviction...the only difference it will make is which side will be doing the shooting.

Kill him and he becomes a poster-pinnup martyr for all arab / muslim people with an axe to grind against the 'west'.

Let him go and he becomes a hero to 'insurgents' and terrorists for beating the US.

The verdict has never been in question. There is no way on earth the US or UK would allow a Saddam-freindly judge. A sunni judge at the head of that trial? Not a prayer.

It was said this morning that he could well be in a state of legal limbo while appeals and other trials are completed.

He could end up commiting suicide before he gets anywhere near the gallows.
