Given the fvck-up situation in Iraq with daily killings and unstability in the region, I would think giving the regime back to Saddam might not be a bad idea. As ruthless as he was, at least he had his country under tight control and it can't be worse than what it is now.

It might be a good exit strategy for the U.S. since it's increasingly becoming hopeless effort in that country. It might also help to relieve the U.S. from confronting the Iran with their nuclear ambition. Iraq can deal with them directly with Iran (maybe another Iraq/Iran War: struggle of power in the Middle East.)

I think giving the Saddam a "get out of jail free" card is a good idea.

This is the most blatantly idiotic post I have seen on this board. Saddam, as well, was a brutal dictator and putting him back into power will lead to others suffering down the line.
2nd, out of everything thats happened in Iraq, atleast removing said dictator was one thing this war did accomplish. Re-instating him would cheapen the sacrifices made by those who lost their lives bringing down the tyrant. They would have died for nothing.
That can not happen.
Besides, Saddam is on trial and my gut feeling tells me hes gonna be...hanging around Baghdad for awhile hahaha.

You can't be serious... Saddam was definitely screwed by the US at times, basically stabbed in the back per se, yet he was a brutal dictator who used gas warfare on a population of women and children. US support or not, he should be in jail and they should throw away the key.

Then again, Iraq seemed to do much better under a brutal dictatorship than the current "democracy," as the mindset of many Iraqis is not much different from the mindsets of 12th century English who lived under brutal Kings & Queens. Should we install another brutal dictatorship or give the Iraqis a chance to try and advance their political system?

Times have changed, and brutal dictatorships should be on their way out. It'll be tough for nations like Iraq, but it's got to be done sometime.

Considering all the sactarian violance and blink of civil war in Iraq, it was just an idea.

Maybe these Iraqi people would rather like to live under tyrant regime to bring some sort of calm and order.

If not Saddam, maybe someone similar who can swing big sticks.

You know what I love, how so many people have been polluted by the Bush Crime Family line on Saddam. I'm sorry, yes he was a bad dude and killed lots of people. However, under his thumb there was no civil war and he was the only one doing the torturing. Iraq was better off in general under saddam, and had he not invaded Kuwait and the UN not imposed those ridiculous sanctions, Iraq would still be one of the most developed countries in the middle east!

Yeah except Saddam was an ok guy when he was fighting Iran for the US and the US/CIA gave him satellite photos knowing full well that he would gas the Iranians. It's funny how as long as you are fighting the wars the US likes its ok to be evil (Iraq in the 80's, Pakistan for the last 30 years, Saudi Arabia, Equatorial Guinea, Egypt, Uzbekistan, etc etc etc etc). Give me a break you know how stupid and hypocritical the US has been towards Saddam and others.

It'd be a good idea to try to put Saddam back but most of his infrastructure is gone. Arabs need people like Saddam to to tell them what to do.

Don't be ignorant, its not cause they Arabs, its cause they are three distinct religous/ethnic groups held into place for hundreds of years by empires and dictators. Is it any wonder people would want to get some revenge and try to takeover for their own people. Sounds like Human nature to me.

That sounds like BNP talk to me. Iraqis are now free to live in a multicultured, diverse and progressive democracy but they seem to be declining the offer. Shame on them.
