Pity!! Saddam would have dealt with him differently. He would have dragged him outside his home and cut his tongue off there. Then he would have dragged the guy back to the palace and set his dogs on him. Too bad they had to deal with him by simply hanging him. :eek:

Saddam would have done this to him anyhow eventually. No one is allowed to stay too close to the seat of power for too long in such dictatorships. The only people loyal enough to not be a potentially someone who would knock off Saddam would have been his own family. Anyone else was just living on borrowed time...

That's not true. Tariq Aziz, Saddam's advisor and minister is still alive, and he worked with Saddam since the 1950s until 2003:

Mikhail Yuhanna (Arabic: ميخائيل يوحنا (Mīḫāʾīl Yūḥann&#257 ;) ‎, later and more popularly known as Tariq Aziz or Tareq Aziz (Arabic: طارق عزيز‎ (Ṭāriq ʿAzīz), Syriac: ܜܪܩ ܥܙܝܙ ); born April 28, 1936 in Tel Keppe) was the Foreign Minister (1983 – 1991) and Deputy Prime Minister (1979 – 2003) of Iraq and a close advisor of former President Saddam Hussein. Their association began in the 1950s when both were activists for the then-banned Ba'ath Party.

Saddam is dead, can't you just forget him? Geez, and then you say I'm obsessed with Bush.

Pity he was not in the same house as Saddams sons when the Americans blew them all up !

Saddam should have incorporated his affairs, he and Ali would have gotten away with a fine;

On December 3 1984, more than 40 tons of methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, immediately killing at least 3,800 people and causing significant morbidity and premature death for many thousands more. The company involved in what became the worst industrial accident in history immediately tried to dissociate itself from legal responsibility. Eventually it reached a settlement with the Indian Government through mediation of that country's Supreme Court and accepted moral responsibility. It paid $470 million in compensation, a relatively small amount of based on significant underestimations of the long-term health consequences of exposure and the number of people exposed. The disaster indicated a need for enforceable international standards for environmental safety, preventative strategies to avoid similar accidents and industrial disaster preparedness.

Since the disaster, India has experienced rapid industrialization. While some positive changes in government policy and behavior of a few industries have taken place, major threats to the environment from rapid and poorly regulated industrial growth remain. Widespread environmental degradation with significant adverse human health consequences continues to occur throughout India.

And then there's the bodycount caused by the activities of Petrochemical Cheney and his henchmen to consider.

That is because Tariq would never get enough people behind him to create a threat for the leadership. In Iraq, no one would follow a Christian.....

My hatred for Saddam is just a tad more justified. I however, don't put him in every thread like you have seemed to on occasion.
