Hanging is too good for him and all the terror he has done.

Your joking right? That is all you have heard? He did a whole lot more. Time for a little research.

2) no im not joking, and yes i know he did WAY more then why i typed, but that from what i have read was one of the only reasons(possibly the main reason) saddam was on trial for, the massacre of that village that tried to assassinate him, so dont tell me i need to do more research because i have, and like i said this is from the many news stories ive read. yes iknow he gassed(supposedly) yes i know he tortured, yes i know he did all the other things...but from ALL i have read it was mainly because they wiped out that village

According to the official Iraqi government Web site, Saddam "Led the Iraqi people an army wisely and bravely against the aggression initiated and launched against Iraq by Khomeini's regime on September 4, 1980, which ended in Iraq 's great victory on August 8, 1988."
The historical record offers a somewhat different version of events, with Iraq invading Iran in a war which ended with that most ignominious of conclusions, a U.N. brokered cease-fire. During the Iran-Iraq war, Hussein used poison gas on his enemies, and not just the ones in Iran. Those pesky Kurds tried Revolution No. 9 (more like 99, or 999), and they got a face full of toxins for their trouble.
Saddam's move to gas the Kurds is a great talking point for some U.S. propagandists who gleefully note that the "Butcher of Baghdad" has "gassed his own people." The Kurds were poisoned mostly with Mustard Gas, which blisters the skin and lungs, as well as Nerve Agents and good old-fashioned cyanide.

The downside to the whole "gassing his own people" angle is, of course, that the United States under President Ronald Reagan was actively supporting Iraq with logistical and military assistance at the time, in one of those little "proxy wars" with the Soviets that always turned out so well.

Guess it makes a differance for those that were there to see some of it.
