Saddam Husein the previous president of Iraq was hanged after being judge by an American court for crimes that he didn't do ... American government intend to kill him on 30-12-2006 ... which is a holy day in Islam ... it's called Eid AL-Adha in which people go to visit Makka in Sudia Arabia and slaughter goats and give them to poor people ... Is it legal to kill the president of one of the largest and most famous Arab countries??? do you think he was killed just because he is Arab??? was he guilty???

An American court? Saddam Hussein was tried by an Iraqui court that had something like five judges and did not resemble an American court at all. He was charged and convicted on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. I don't believe he was killed just because he was Arab...I believe he was killed because he was convicted of doing the horrible things that he did.

DO you think it was not an american court ??? Iraq at that time was without government to form a court to judge the president ... and what about the children were killed in Iraq by USA army ... is that war crimes too ??? why didn't USA kill George Bush ??? what about ABU GHRAIB prison .. did you hear this name before ??? this is an Iraqi prison moderated by USA soldiers ... the Iraqi prisoners were treated like animals ... I bet you saw some of its photos ...

No, it was not an American court because, as far as I know, no American judges were on the bench during his trial and, if I'm not mistaken, they weren't speaking english. You might want to do some research on the web about this since you seem to be confused about many things. Do you support the genocide Saddam committed against his own people?

Saddam's genocide victims - Some of Saddam's handiwork.
These deaths are at the hands of Saddam Hussein. Do these people...that little child...not deserve justice for his crimes against them?

In the past USA used to support Saddam Hussain , but after they are finished from him , they wanted to get benefit from Iraqi resources which Saddam didn't allow them to , so they managed to get rid of him to get access to Iraq
