"Dr Allawi is turning this country into a free and democratic nation run by the rule of law; so if your sources are as credible as they say they are, then they are more than welcome to file a complaint in a court of law against the Prime Minister."

I agree with Valhall...like it or not, it's none of our business.

On one hand people are saying kill the dictator, he kills people indiscriminately and on the other hand people are congratulating exactly the same behaviour and saying it's none of our business?
Also, what the hell is an apparently democratic prime minister doing shooting people in the back of the head WITH NO TRIAL?!
Hell, I'm getting brainwashed now, the back of the head is not the way to carry out Justice!

a bullet to the back of the head is not uncommon. Russia, for example, will transport the prisoner directly from the courtroom to the back yard to carry out immediate justice.

Well that's all right then.
For a minute there I was under the impression we were a democracy with law and justice, silly me.
Hell, I'm getting the hang of it now I think, line them all up and shoot the bastards.

If we were to impose our system of justice on the Iraqis, then I guarantee you that there would be those here that would condemn that.

What's the debate about?
This man is said to have murdered six suspects.
What gave him the authority to do that? If he lacked the legal authority, then he's no better than a common murderer under any state's legal system. Describing his act plainly and simply for what it is does not constitute imposing our legal system on him or on Iraq. The Koran condemns murder just as the Christian Bible does and the Iraqi legal system outlaws it just as our legal system does.
How brainwashed have you become that you are willing to condone this sort of conduct by anyone! Sadly, you'all have heard and uncritically accepted too much of the Bush Administration's nonsensical rhetoric to the effect that's it's OK to kill anyone we suspect of being against us.

Explain again to me the reason for invading Iraq and killing lots of innocent people. . . because I'm getting confused

He could be a man who wants to see his country attain it's previous prosperity and is willing to fight those who would not see it do so.
The news for the newly designated Iraqi prime minister, Iyad Allawi, was not as good. While the poll was taken just before he was named to head the new interim government, 61 percent said they either strongly oppose or somewhat oppose Allawi, a former exile once backed by the CIA. Only 23 percent said they somewhat support or strongly support him.
