Raneah, you wrote: 'Saddam Hussein was the best man ever.'
You should know the facts and they speak against Saddam being 'the best man ever'.
By the way, many Germans still think that Adolf Hitler was 'the best man ever', despite the fact that his regime led to the deaths of tens of millions of Europeans , including the Holocaust of six million Jews.
Only insane or sadistic people can claim that mass-murdering dictators such as Hitler, Saddam or Stalin were 'the best men ever'.

So what has this accomplished? I see Iran becoming, and swiftly too, the new power in the this quagmire of pandoras' boxes...What's Mr Bush going to do now? Invade Iran? The late Mr Ford had it right....unfortunately for us all, Mr Bush believes in shooting, literally from the hip and we the American people blindly follow his folly without thinking about the thousands of Iraqui children who have died because of his inhumanity.....there will be repercussions for us all...I'm moving to Canada!

Happy new year....
Happy new era in the world after the death of (Sadam blood sucker)..
Each person is free to express their commence but anyone who is not happy with Saddams excution has a lack of judgment.I am surprising why many Iraq's people had killed no one expressed any sorwfull for those innocence who kiiled by shovels in the diserts between Saudi Arabia and Iraq.Many perents have lost their lovest childern in Eid Alfetr and Eid Al Azha? why those Islamic countries didn't express any thing.Many people had been executed in this Islamic holy day why no one didn't expresss any thing? He was coward because he killed many childern and women.Therefore, he deserved more than 10 times execution.Alot of mothers had visited the the Nainawa and Abu graib and Nugra Salman prison in Ead Alazha to see thier childern but didn't get any thing. The guards replied to them 'your children had been excuted just some houres, and they told them go take the body of your son or your husband they went to the hell' and the family has to pay the money in order to take the body...that was the era of wild regime in Iraq but this is good sign to the most brutal regims in the middle and Islamic countries in order to review their policy towards their people.

The fact is we were getting all the oil before we went after him. In fact, we actually, made it harder to get the oil. Of course there is the part about the dead Kurds and Shiites.

The only folks crying about Iraq are the nations that lost money i.e. Germany, Russia and France. Too bad, you had your chance to help. Next time, play with the guys who take you to the dance EVERY day.

It is actually the opposite. We were not getting the oil, at least not in our terms, since Saddam's conversion to the euro of Iraq's oil exports in the fall of 2000, which became a threat to the U.S. dollar supremacy in the international oil market. The need to pay Iraqi oil in euros, the depreciation of the dollar against the euro, + the extensive U.S. debt made the invasion a necessity.

Now of course the Iraqi oil trade is in dollars again.

And that is why Iran is the next target, since it has done the same with regards to the euro + of course its nuclear ambitions.
