6. great quotes from the article
One could only hope!!!! The question which really needs to be asked of those who want to bring harm to the United States is "what has hurt you so bad that you feel that you need to hurt us in order to feel better?" The US government doesn't want that question asked.


"Saddam should not be the only one who is put on trial. The Americans backed him when he was killing Iraqis so they should be prosecuted," said Ali Mahdi, a builder.

snip

In street interviews, Iraqis said Saddam must be tried by an Iraqi court prepared to hand down the death penalty and examine his ties to past U.S. governments.

snip

"Saddam was a top graduate of the American school of politics," said Assad al-Saadi, standing with friends in the slum of Sadr city, formerly called Saddam City, a Shi'ite Muslim area oppressed by Saddam's security agents.

snip

"My brother was an army officer who was executed. Saddam is a criminal and the Americans were his friends. We need justice so that we can forget the past."

snip

"The Americans and Saddam should face justice. Do you really think the Americans are going to put themselves on trial?" said Ali, a U.S.-trained policeman.

snip

"Of course we hope the Americans and Saddam will face trial. But will it ever happen? I doubt it."
