Why again did we hang Saddam?
"we" didn't, it was an Iraqi Tribunal who found him guilty of crimes against humanity.

Yeah the puppet government we put in place clearly had no allegiance to the US gov't.

We did do a pretty good job of circumventing the ICC in the name of "Iraqi Sovereignty" which we had no real issues ignoring when Hussein was in power.

Thank you...

The war was fought over weapons Sadam had, and everyone knew he had. We still don't know if these were all used up, or are buried in the desert. It sure was confusing the way GWB carried it out.

Are you suggesting that he was innocent?

Hopefully America learned a lesson. It is a good thing That tyrant is out of power but without a plan for after his capture and invasion of Iraq it became a failure.

It is long beyond the time we should get the hell out of there.

Which wasn't an issue with Reagan. So, the idea was to unite them again.

Yeah, I guess by not wanting to circumvent laws and hang people I'm the real monster here.

Wow, quite the leap in logic.

I'm stating that if he is being charged with war crimes, or crimes against humanity an iraqi kangaroo court is a dumb place to try him and the ICC is the appropriate place.

Since no WMDs were found in Iraq and we invaded under false pretenses maybe the US courts should try the previous administration. See how both that and your post are equally stupid?
