Plane: n, a level of existence or development; "he lived on a worldly plane"
The "allahu akhbar" bit was boneheaded though.

Actually, the word he is referring to is spelled PLANE (as defined: a level of existence or development). Another word for you, 'Assumption'.

Death by hanging was selected as his sentence for a good, very pointed reason.
Hanging is for criminals. It's always been that way. Death by firing squad or beheading was the way to go for a soldier captured honourably.
Hussein is a criminal. Very appropriate.

I agree that he probable does deserve death. But this "trial" was nothing more then a show. He was found guilty and put to death before it even begain. All this will do is make a martyr out of Saddamn and cause more people to stand up against the US and anybody else there.
Funny how the crime he is being put to death for was commited BEFORE Rumsfeld came over and shook his hand on camera. Reagan and bush sold him weapons as well after this. Also Iraq was NOT a threat and had no WMD before 9-11, so says powell and rice.
Reason 1 million and 1 why someone will become a terrorist and take up the fight against the US and anybody else over there now.

Wow, and right before the election too. What a great coincidence for the Republicans!
Seriously, Saddam deserved it, but WE were hardly the people to give it too him...we basically supported the crimes he was charged with, or at least we kept selling him weapons after he committed them.

I'm surprise at the speed of prosecution, because Saddam crimes and his high profile normally would take years in court. And, I have to agree with most of the poster that the verdict from the kangaroo court is not going to help the situation in Iraq in the near future. However a trial at the Hague isn?t going to render the verdict much different, but it would shed some light into the situation and may expose Western involvement.
I find that it is strange that the US backed government prosecuted their former president Sadam for the death of the terrorists that attempt to assassinate him. And, GWB is getting away with killing the terrorists that attempt to assassinate his dad.

Not that I have a lot of sympathy for Saddam, but shira is right; this accomplishes nothing, so it really seems to fall to 'bloodlust'.
When you have people saying things like "This is an unprecedented feeling of happiness...nothing matches it, no festival nor marriage nor birth matches it. The verdict says Saddam must pay the price for murdering tens of thousands of Iraqis." , it's hard to interpret that as naything other than savagery.
Didn't you hear?
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)
for the 50,000 plus Iraqis he has killed?

I'm confused by your response, I haven't supported the death penalty since I was about 15 or 16 years old, and started to think about things like 'legitimate' authority, and the like.
I didn't say that you necessarily did...or didn't mean for it to be taken that way. Simply that at least a couple people saying this accomplishes nothing are likely only saying that because of their feelings about the war and not about the actual trial itself.
Why are you thanks Georgie?
He is next, thousands have died thank to his crimes against humanity as well.
False Wars should be taken lightly.
Saddam and Bush should have a nice cup of coffee together and talk about how they killed thousands of lives and enrich themselves over their exploitations.
You're the kind of idiot who would also compare Hitler to Bush.
