|  Following
the capture of former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein, world
opinion has been very strong. Though most people seem relieved
to say the least, in Saddam’s Hometown of Tikrit mass
demonstrations have broken out in support of the fallen
President.
Being journalist our-selves the young reporters of Harlem
live set-out to find out the average man/women on the street
felt about the events surrounding his capture.

How does Saddam’s Arrest bring validity to Washington’s
war on Iraq? I’m not sure it brings any based on the
cost of American lives or military and reconstruction bills
for Iraq. Only if they catch Bin Laden will the war have
any validity. Saddam’s only a threat to his own people.
Not to me or any one else in Harlem or America.
What should Saddam Hussein’s punishment be? I believe
The Iraqi’s should punish Saddam Hussein. Let each
country handle it’s own business on their own.
What role did America’s past support For Saddam play
in his rise to power? It is a very well known fact that
America has supported some of the world’s biggest
dictators of the past 75 years. Saddam just adds to the
ever-growing list.
How
do you think Arresting Saddam will affect guerilla attacks
on American ground forces in Iraq? I will have to wait and
see. I’m not yet sure his arrest will have any impact
on the insurgencies.
Where do you think Saddam hid his weapons? I think Saddam
hid his weapons in Bush’s bed, under his pillow.

How does Saddam’s Arrest bring validity to Washington’s
war on Iraq? I could care less, however Bush is corrupt.
How
do you think Arresting Saddam will affect guerilla attacks
on American ground forces in Iraq? I think the attacks will
get worse because the insurgents will want their leader
back.
Where do you think Saddam hid his weapons? I think he might
have hidden his weapons of mass destruction in caves.
What links do you think Saddam has to Al Qaeda? I’m
sure at some point in the past they were tight. That might
not be any longer. If anything there would be a power struggle
between the two.

How
do you think Saddam’s capture will affect guerilla
attacks on American ground forces? I’m not sure I’ll
have to wait to see what happens in the future
Where do you
think Saddam Hid his weapons? I don’t know where the
weapons are hidden, however I do think he, definitely had
them.
What
do you think his punishment should be? I don’ think
Saddam should necessarily get the death penalty. I think
it’s more logical to put him in jail without the possibility
of parole.

How
does Saddam’s capture bring validity to Washington’s
war on Iraq? There never should have been a war in the first
place. Saddam kept letting inspectors into his country and
the inspectors couldn’t find anything. Finally Saddam
had enough and Bush decided to take military action because
he’s a bully. There didn’t have to be a war
in the first place, It’s all for oil and power.How
do you think Saddam’s capture will affect guerilla
attacks on American ground forces? It won’t make a
difference. The same way Saddam’s sons went down fighting
is the same way the rest of the insurgents will sacrifice
their lives for their beliefs.
Where do you
think Saddam Hid his weapons? I don’t think there
were weapons. Bush used the weapons as an excuse to take
over the oil fields in Iraq.
What
do you think his punishment should be? They should let him
go because he’s not guilty of having any weapons.

How
does Saddam’s capture bring validity to Washington’s
war on Iraq? I think it’s important because they have
to take down Saddam before does any more damage.
How
do you think Saddam’s capture will affect guerilla
attacks on American ground forces? I think it might it depend
on how the United States can capitalize on his capture.
Where do you
think Saddam Hid his weapons? I think he hid them somewhere
in Iraq. Now that he’s in American custody that’s
what they have to find out.
What
do you think his punishment should be? I think once Saddam’s
found guilty he should face the death penalty because death
is all people like him understand. He’s no different
than Kruschev, (former soviet president) and Joseph Stalin.
They’re all dictators.

How
do you think Arresting Saddam will affect guerilla attacks
on American ground forces, in Iraq? I don’t think
it makes Iraq or America any safer security wise. The only
positive is that Bush will look better point wise.
Where do you think Saddam hid his weapons? It was never
proven that Saddam ever had weapons. I’ll have to
wait until a weapon is found to give my opinion.
What should Saddam Hussein’s punishment be? If an
international court finds Saddam is guilty the worst
He, should get is the death penalty.
