Saddam's Regime Suing the US?
- Thread starter IceWolf20
- Start date
Saddam invades another country in the early 90s and we kick his ass.
Saddam is sore about it, so he starts making threats against us in the late 90s and we kick his ass.
This is like the bully on the playground who talks shit, but when you finally punch him in the throat he goes crying to the teacher.

Well, yes of course its desperation. The pseudo-balls comes from the fact that they're trying to sue the United States....I mean...has anyone ever done that?

Individuals have certainly sued the United States before, but they usually name somebody (the attorney general has been sued)... they would still call it "individual vs the United States". I'm almost positive the case (if even heard) would go the US Court of Federal Claims. I'm still learning this mass bank of information

While I don't agree with the war, and I definitely don't agree that we still belong over there, I feel that any american lawyer that represents Saddam's Regime should be tried for treason.

Yeah, I realize that there are many "People vs...." cases, and probaby xxx vs. US somewhere, but moreover, in an international court accusing the United States of war crimes? That's ballsy to me b/c its never been done, and they'd be essentially trying to take down the institittion of "fair war" that we claim to the world. If the U.S. (namely George W.) were convicted of war crimes in an internatinoal court.....what would happen? You know damn well he wouldn't stand for it, and wouldn't face a sentencing. The U.S. would literally be left with the world looking at us like a thug that's been convicted of murder, but refuses to take his sentencing b/c he's holding a thermal detonator.
I don't really know if I had a point with this thread...maybe just to arouse speculation about "what if" he were convicted. Eh, let the thread die if you want....it was kinda dumb to begin with.

We know exactly what would happen, because it's happened in the past. In the 1980s, Nicaragua sued the US in the World Court (also known as the International Court of Justice, or ICJ) for illegally mining their harbors; the ICJ found us guilty of, essentially, war crimes, and required the US government to pay reparations to Nicaragua. We, of course, proceeded to ignore the ruling and pretend that the ICJ didn't exist.

You'd hear the world popping corks on champagne bottles.
If this scenario does occur, it'd be about damned time.
