Why is this set up as a multiple choice poll? Do you really think there will be people who think Saddam both did and did not get a fair trial?

I've noticed that a lot of polls have been multiple choice lately when it doesn't make sense. Maybe some people somehow have that set as the default?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Maybe.

Personally, I think Saddam should and shouldn't have been executed. Maybe he should have been, I'm glad he was and outraged that he was, all at the same time. It pisses me off, I'm so happy.

I don't think people are purposely setting it up as mult choice. It may be the way polls are made automatically these days. ***Nevermind, there is that choice but I doubt people are doing in on purpose.

I wasn't really following his case, so I have no idea.

I really don't think he got a fair trial to be honest, I really think there was a lot of polotics involved, and the U.S. government had a major say in how the trial was handeled. This is a shame. It would have been much better to keep Sadam in prison until a time when Iraq was truly governed my the Iraq people, and all of this fighting had subsided even if that is 10-15 years down the line. Had that happend, and the trial took place when

*peace* and stability had eventually spread out throughout Iraq, that a trial at that time would have been more appropriate.

In the end, whether the trial happend today or in 10 years, I believe the outcome would have been the same - that he would have been found guilty and the ultimate punishment would have been carried out. However if the trial had happend later, I think history would have seen that to be a fairer trial than the one today.

I answered "No" to the first question and "Yes" to the second.

[Saddle Bronc 124]

No and yes.

Yes to whether he should have been executed, because he WAS guilty of mass-murder (of Kurds, Shias, as well as others opposed to his regime).

No to whether trial was fair (not a function of Maliki's being US-propped-up)

Basically reminded me of the trial and execution of Z.A. Bhutto (the only difference was that I've never to this day learned whether Bhutto was actually guilty of the SPECIFIC crime for which Zia had him judicially-murdered).

This question obviously shows your incompitence level. There is two answers to the question YES or NO. Did'nt your mother teach you to think before you speak.

In an ideal world he should rot in jail, not be executed, yeah I know nobody will agree, I just don't agree with people killing people unless they have no choice

[Nikita2Charles 32]

NO

YES

I feel as a former Head of states, He should have been tried by the International Tribunal for crime against humanity, not by a puppet govt, there was not partiality when you are being judge by your enemy. I do feel the outcome would have been the same, and let that be an example to those dictators who feel they can kill their own people with immunity, Now they have to know sooner or later, they will have to pay for their actions. Our govt supported Saddam, We gave him the weapons, We supported him in the fight against Iran, At the time Saddam was America's best friend, (hmmm NORIEGA ANYBODY). Even though We know he was committed those acts, we turned the other way because he was our allies, same as we are looking the other way at saoudi Arabia, But once the table turned, all those dirty laundry will come out of the closets, Call it fair I don't think so when

Your enemy playing Judge, Jury and Executioner.

lol. Multiple choice means being allowed to pick more than one answer

And it's spelled incompetence. Try the spellcheck next time, retard.

Confusing due to mistakes in English.

What you probably meant to say (corrections in bold):

I feel as a former Head of state, he should have been tried by the International Tribunal for crimes against humanity--not by a puppet govt. impartiality does not exist when you are being judged by your enemy. I do feel the outcome would have been the same--let that be an example to those dictators who feel they can kill their own people with impunity. Now they have to know that sooner or later, they will have to pay for their actions. Our govt supported Saddam:

• We gave him the weapons
  
• We supported him in the fight against Iran--at the time Saddam was America's best friend, (hmmm NORIEGA ANYBODY).
  

Even though we know he was committing those acts, we turned the other way because he was our ally, just as we are looking the other way at saoudi Arabia; but once the tables turn, all that dirty laundry will come out of their closets. Call it fair? I don't think so when your enemy is playing judge, jury and executioner.

Are you joking!!!

Multiple choice means there is more than one answer to pick from YOU RETARD. You can only pick one answer.

Who cares where Saddam was tried, we all know that he did it.... The soldiers that found him should have shot him in the whole that the ###### was hidding in. He got what he deserved. I think that his life for the thousands of lives that he took is a fair deal.

That may be correct in normal circumstances, but not here. When you create a poll, there is an option to make it multiple choice, as in a person can choose multiple answers to any given question. The "regular" poll restricts you to choosing only one answer.
