It's kinda hard to talk about fair and impartial when the man was guilty from day one due to the public actions that he had taken under that role!

Like I said, I'm not defending the fact that he's done terrible things, only that he was tried unfairly. If death was inevitable all along, then why the trial in the first place? We could say that Bush is responsible for the death of just as many Iraqi civilians for ordering the whole invasion. Should we sentance him to death by hanging as well after a sham trial?

Reading nova's posts: You're so right. His death is only to serve as symbolism for a new era politically. If he remains alive then there will always be supporters for him.
