I am glad that not many people read my blogs because I know that not many people might actually agree to what I am going to write in here.

I dont know if sentencing Saddam to death is a fair verdict or not.. I also dont know if he was the breeding ground for terrorism or if he was even funding for the terrorist. I am only aware that Saddam whom they called "The Butcher of Baghdad" has been now sentenced to death. But what I dont understand is that why at the first place should Bush command his men to capture Saddam who was a ruler for his country for nearly quarter of a century and now sentence him to death? It is clear that Bush never intended to avoid a war in Iraq, a conflict which has so far claimed the lives of at least 85 American soldiers and possibly thousands of Iraqis.“F--- Saddam,” Bush said. “We’re taking him out.” March 2002. Isn't he a dictator too then?? Would he also not react in the same bewildered way as Saddam did, if he were to be captured and then sentenced to death? It is really sad that nobody is questioning Bush about this.

I believe that Saddam Hussein was a living threat to only the American national security and Mr.Bush and to no one else.

Did Saddam actually have ties with the terrorists? If he really did where is the proof? Why was he being linked with Osama??

The notion that Saddam Hussein has ties to terrorism is an article of faith among the critics of President Bush, Tony Blair and their allies. They say (argue infact) that he knew little if anything about terrorism, especially al-Qaeda. Read on to know what I found on the net, about what few of these more notable detractors had to say:

"I never believed in the link between Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda and Islamist terrorism,” - Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

“Iraq was not a breeding ground for terrorism. Our invasion has made it one,” Senator Ted Kennedy said October 16, 2003.² “We were told Iraq was attracting terrorists from Al Qaeda. It was not.”

Even those who would be President of the United States cast doubts. "Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion," Democratic candidate John Kerry told Philadelphia voters September 24. At the September 30, 2004 presidential debate, Kerry asserted, "Iraq was not even close to the center of the War on Terror before the president invaded it."

If Saddam is guilty or not guilty, I feel sentencing him to death might not be a very smart move for the US. I feel this might even turn to be hell for the Americans. Read this article and am sure you will also think about how so many people can be against the death sentence http://breakingnews.iol.ie/news/story.asp?j=200469406&p=zxx47xyyz
