#1 More like the Mafia every day. Maybe Omar Sharid can redeem himself by starring in the Arab remake as Sheik al-Corleone.

#4 If convicted on this first charge, the former dictator could face death by hanging and never be tried for the many other crimes he is accused of, which include the gassing of some 5,000 Kurds in Halabja in northern Iraq.

If Saddam goes to the gallows and isn't tried for previous or subsequent other crimes committed in his name, does it matter?

#6 They need to get this trial over and hang the guy for his murderous crimes. It is important to the nation of Iraq, but there are bigger fish to fry. Saddam has become a side show in the bigger picture.

#7 I say kill the fucker and get it over with. This threat makes it even more essential. These people have suffered enough, drop Sadam now.
