15. Saddam was a greedy brutal dictator

and our former ally. There is no need to humiliate him like that. Just show footage of him as he was before they cleaned him up and everybody with half a brain can draw their own conclusions about him without some general or FOX News talking head editorializing.

The point is we are supposed to BETTER than Saddam. No matter how bad a guy he is, no matter how many atrocities he commited, WE are supposed to be the CIVILIZED ones. He should be treated like any other prisoner of war with basic human dignity, given a fair trial for his crimes in an appropriate forum and then punished. There is no need for the modern equivalent of being paraded through the streets of Rome.
