Pleeeease... it's standing trial cause the U.S. is a superpower with WMDs and Iraq isn't. If Iraq was a superpower, Bush would be the one standing trial for Iraqi genocide now.

If Saddam's Iraq had been a superpower, there wouldn't have been a trial. Certainly nothing more than a presentation of charges and passing of sentence, followed by the execution (literally) of that sentence.

And comparing Saddam to Hitler shows how stupid and brainless you really are.

Since he was a profound student of Stalin, and Stalin killed nearly as many (mainly Russians) as Hitler's Reich did, I'll grant you that.

Stalin was Saddam's hero (and apparently your's as well):

KGB sources later confirmed this. Indeed, Saddam’s henchmen in American captivity reveal that they had to listen to tedious hours of dictatorial chatter about Stalin. A Kurdish politician, Dr Mahmoud Othman, once negotiated with Saddam in his private apartments where he was amazed to see not only boxes of Johnnie Walker whisky but a huge library of books devoted to Stalin, specially translated into Arabic. Despite his sumptuous palaces, Saddam moved around all the time, living and working in a tiny apartment-cum-office where he slept on a metal military cot — exactly like Stalin who used almost 20 villas and palaces but always slept on a cot or sofa.

Saddam weirdly believes that Stalin was almost his alter ego, his teacher: twin tyrants.
Their similarities — some deliberate, some coincidental — are eerie. Their childhoods were miserable, alienating — violent fathers, devoted mothers, inspiring patrons, making them angry self-reliant street ruffians with absolute self-belief. Stalin embraced Marxism with “semi-Islamic fanaticism”, Saddam embraced Ba’athism.

But what's the difference.. Both Hitler and Stalin were bosom buddies when it came to instituting totalitarian fear and oppression upon their respective countries.

And Saddam was no different..

Again.. is this what you have in mind when you speak of "good old America"??

You love to criticize this country, and in particular Bush, and assert that it's "Fascist"..

But the reality is that YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ADMIRES AND SUPPORTS TOTALITARIANISM..

What a real b*stard you are.. You live in a democratic society so that you can promote totalitarian brutality and oppression.
