Iraq president opposes Tariq Aziz's death sentence

What crimes does Mr.Aziz has done actually ????

Just reminding people of what was in place before. No harm in that....unless you wanted to see it still exist today, I suppose.

"it's not like hundreds of thousands of deaths is always a bad thing."

Still pushing the his vs. ours bodycount, Super?

I hope Talibani will prevail and Aziz will not be put to death. His execution would merely be political points for the Shiites.

Hasn't there been enough death in Iraq?

He's Christian; of course they're not gonna execute him. There's no Christian so evil as to work with Saddam Hussein.

...role in a campaign of persecuting, killing and torturing members of Shiite opposition and religious parties... The regime sent hundreds of thousands of opponents to death or exile

But there was no Al Queda, so it's not like hundreds of thousands of deaths is always a bad thing.

please end all the bloodshed in Iraq.

Time for an amnesty.

I am not convinced that the death sentence is the best thing for Iraq in this case.

kudos President Jalal Talabani, now let's hope Iraq/Int'l Commnunity respects president's stand.
