Brilliant counter. Didn't even make an attempt to address the claim and jumped right into attacking the person's character.
I have to ask. Is this a learned process that you follow or does it come naturally?

I have to agre with Vich in that brownzilla786 said a pretty idiotic thing. As such when people say dumb things it is quite natural to assume that they are idiots.
If somebody doesn't want to be thought of as an idiot, then don't say idiotic things.
Simple, eh?
** As a disclaimer, no I am not a huge fan with how things are happening over in Iraq, but regardless I still think a comparison to how Bush runs his administration to how Saddam ran things is rather dumb.

No no NO Vich,
There is no comparing Bush to Hitler----Hitler promised the German people glory---and found competent men to at least rack up an impressive string of early victories that made his deeds match his rhetoric.
GWB can't even find competent people---and bungles everything he touches.

Maybe some people do not care about the opinions of those who do not see things the same way they do
Bush and Saddam have both killed/murdered 10's of 1,000s of Iraqis for their political ideals.. They are both Hardcore Criminals who use death as a way to make changes.
BTW, Bush has made Iraq even worse off than it was under Saddam .. talk about a total failure
Actually there is no comparison. More people, especially kids, died under UN sanctions that the US refused to lift due to their regime change policy than Saddam ever killed. Period end of argument.
This isn't even the full picture. Before the invasion some estimates put dead children in Iraq at over 1,000,000
"...Bush and Saddam have both killed/murdered 10's of 1,000s of Iraqis for their political ideals.. They are both Hardcore Criminals who use death as a way to make changes..."
The absolute undeniable truth.

He earned it, and deserves it.
And they really cant claim it was a kangaroo court because three were three death by hangings, a life sentence, three fifteen year sentences, and an aquittal handed out.
How many trials do you know about where the defense team does not get to make final statements and the judge is kicked out like 3 weeks before the decision?
Edit: I also remember statements from officials before it even started that amounted to " We have to get this trial over quickly and the execution soon after."
Yeah, seriously. The credibility of the court got worse and worse as the trial proceeded. Seriously, how can you maintain credibility when they removed the judge just because it seemed like he might not automatically decree Saddam the worst person in the universe, lol.

Let's summarize:
1. He was guilty, of course he was convicted.
2. AND it was a fair trial!
3. Not really, it really wasn't, and here's why.
4. Oh well, I like the outcome so who cares?
Bravo good show!

You're blaming the US for people dying under the UN sanctions? Even though the Oil for Food program was a complete and utter corrupt free for all? The site you listed blames the deaths on the 25 odd % of requests that were denied and yet we all know now that the real problem was that the stuff that was getting through wasn't getting to the people, but instead used to help line Saddam's pockets.
When my father was in Iraq, he would tell me stories of people living in dirt huts with no electricity or running water within site of Saddam's palaces which were lined with marble and solid gold bath fixtures.

There are homeless people living in cardboard boxes within a few blocks of the White House. Your words fall to the ground.

I suppose the President skimmed off of a UN program meant to give said homeless food / medicine / shelter to pay for several dozen White Houses around the country? Your post is completely irrelavent to the point I was making.
why isn't Saddam Hussein being tried for a range of other terribly serious crimes, including the gassing of Kurds (with gas made of materials supplied by the USA and the UK)..?

Aahh, but you see, even if Ceausescu (or Mussolini, before him) had to face a kangaroo court (let's be honest, that's what it was), at least he was overthrown, chased, arrested, tried and executed by Romanians exclusively, no direct foreign interference (besides having everyone in the world cheering on the sides, watching how things unfold on TV).
"Link"......... Sorry I can't post the link, google 'Washington DC homeless" & select the 1st option ("Local results for homeless near Washington, DC") But I really didn't need the link to verify what I've seen with my own eyes.

"Your post is completely irrelavent to the point I was making."
It's a direct response to your exact quote. You claim there'e extreme poverty in the face of extreme wealth in Iraq, and I'm pointing out that the exact same thing is happening in Washington DC. Seems relevant to me.
