In 1788 Louie the 16th was decapitated by the guillotine (a far more humane way of execution than hanging) by his own people , and 8 months later, his wife was executed, the Queen “Marry Antoinette”. The charges were killing the French people and starving them to death, plus hundreds of other allegations that were never proved.
On the contrary nowadays, being on the wrong side of a super power, will win you a much more unfair trial by a Mickey Mouse court, then the justice that was offered by maxemillion to Louie the 16th in the 17th century. You will die in a despicable episode, with taunting, and the vivid picturing that can be witnessed by billions.
We haven’t moved far from our most basic instincts, that is the thrust for blood, the thrust for power, the thrust for subjugating any religion that threatens our ideas. Sad, I think being born in the 17th century, and not a Muslim, would have been a safer bet.
This idiot was responsible for allowing the American colonies to turn traitor and break away through his interdiction of the Royal Navy and provision of gunpowder to the insurgency.
Yes, the thrust for blood, the thrust for power, the thrust for subjugating any religion that threatens our ideas is alive and kicking in 21st century Iraq.
"Yes, the thrust for blood, the thrust for power, the thrust for subjugating any religion that threatens our ideas is alive and kicking in 21st century Iraq ** with the help of the US**".
Then let's re-install a brutal dictator that opresses 80% of the people, kills, imprisons, rapes, tortures, displaces and attacks neighbors with impunity. Then everyone will be happy cuz no Muslims where complaining when it was a Muslim dictator creating mass graves by the scores of thousands.
And my dear underthecross, the shias and sunnis are maiming and killing with the help of other Muslims, not the US. Great Iran for one is helping in the daily carnage.
…and all this time I have been thinking it worked for you lot better…but at least it has brought us to common grounds, that for our religion, country, we will get totally blinded.
Neither are you an iraqi, nor am I , so both of us are basically in the same boat.
OK Good Night Seminole and the rest of you, in my part of the world the sun has set since a very long time, you can wake me up if you change the rotation of the earth(talk to NASA), I think that would be less problematic than to occupy Iraq. :)
these allegations are by no means proven. i was one of the people who thought with all these allegations flying around perhaps saddam was guilty of something, but thinking differently now. if saddam was set up here then the civil war was also fabricated until self sufficient. the WMD lies suggest this conclusion
its probably true that saddam killed less innocent people in his 24 years then US has in iraq in 1.
fact that saddam worked for US is another matter which cannot be left out.
saddam should have been left in charge, america has no right to be in Iraq. none whatsoever.

I agree with the bold, everything else is utter nonsense. This botched execution changes none of the carvan full of facts that exist. To even suggest these are mere 'allegations' is preposterous.
Bush has completely mishandled the world. That doesn't change the fact that the muslim world is in turmoil around the globe than anything else. Blame Bush, blame Brits. whatever. Doesn't change anything. Americans will be gone from Iraq in 12 months. You think the roadside bombs will stop then?
Can anyone name ONE leader of global stature in any (so called) muslim country? Pls don't say Gen. Musharaf - even Karzai dumps on him if the pressure gets to him.
Where is the responsibility of the people? Like pakpatriot asked elsewhere, lacking alternatives are muslims doomed to settle for less freedom, less respect and less development?....in spite of holding the key to global energy?
