I don't think their crooked officials are any more so than ours. Recall Malaki, who was convicted in absentia for extorting $800 million and while he hid in Jordan, screamed "WMD's in Bhagdad" so he became our hero, we gave him power, and now he's one of ours, minus the charges and conviction and not only kept the millions, we gave him billions more.
How 'bout those missing 7.3 billion-dollar pallets of cash that were never passed-out for bribes? Never left our custody. Or Halliburton's failed delivery of hardware infrastructure worth 176 million that the Marines are still waiting for? Use of and then denial of the deployment of white phosporous (Willie Pete) on Fallujah when conventional patrols failed to perform the promised "hearts and minds" mission? Who ordered that one in total violation of the Geneva Accords? Blackwater's 21 civilians killed during a transport drive in downtown when our FBI failed to uncover a single bullethole or weapon used to trigger this response, or the best - no prosecution of any U.S. participant allowed for any crime conducted during occupation.
I'd say if anyone has to go - brutal bloodsthisty dictator or lying fraudulant creep - he and his cadre are sitting pretty in D.C. stealing trillions of our children's money and borrowing the future of this once great nation to conduct the first-in-history war fought on completely protected (classified 'enemy' communica's) lies and borrowed money and hanging in a venue of prison guards and video phone pictures is much too good - stoning to death by a crowd of 100,000 people would be more justified.
While we're talking Saddam, fourteeen more-brutal dictators with double or more bodycount histories are enjoying total anymosity and spite mostly alongside our blessed trade agreements and our nation is teetering on the brink of economic disaster.
Like I said, hanging is too good for them.
