So sick of these attempts to make Blair and Bush worse than Saddam.

Apparently over 30% of the Iraqi civilians killed, have met their fate at the hands of coalition forces and who knows how many tens/ hundreds of thousands that is.
I did hear the president on the radio saying that this would usher in a new dawn, that they wouldn't discover anymore mass graves, which tbh I found a bit perplexing given the current climate over there!
My own view is that whilst he is undoubtedly guilty, what purpose does executing him serve, if he was the terrorist/ insurgence figure head and attacks were being carried out in his name I could perhaps see the point of it and in executing him they run the risk of fanning the flames still further Imo we have made many mistakes in Iraq and this is probably going to be another.
