Darn it, Saddam. You really shouldn't have invaded Kuwait in 1990. Right now, you could have been living the high life. You would have been George Bush's friend and a key regional ally in the War on Terror. Now look what's happened! Instead of having Dick Cheney come to vist you in one of your palaces every couple of months, you've been ... well, we'll draw a veil over that.

I mean, they wouldn't've minded in the slightest how many people you gassed and, if you played your cards right, the Americans might even have turned a blind eye to your WMD's (just as long as you assured them your plan was to nuke Teheran, not Tel Aviv.)

But, hey. Hindsight's 20/20. Right?

Have you read some of the world leader statements on it?

Out of about 8 I have seen, only George Bush seems to be the one who is actually praising the sentance. Probably only cos it's his court that basically did the sentancing I know, but the USA is getting scary. :|

t's not really surprising. The US is the only Western country to keep the death penalty. This governments attitude is worse. ie "We're totally and 100% against the death penalty, except in this case where we kind've don't mind quite so much."
