We can kill people trying to overthrow Iraqi government but Saddam

[cantstandbush]

is being tried for doing the same thing and he was the head of state of Iraq at the time?

So Saddam signs an order to execute people who tried to kill him and overthrow his government.
How many death orders did Bush sign as governor of TX and none of these people tried to kill him or overthrow his governor ship?

2. I don't know if the parrallels hold up

For one thing the Execution Orders Bush signed were for people who had committed murders (presumably).

4. well...if you don't hold the comparison to governorship but instead

look at Bush's treatment of detainees in his "war on terror" you can clearly see the double standard.

We can kill and/or torture anyone who is fighting the US effort to bring democracy to Iraq/the Middle East. Saddam did so to hold on to his sovereign power (never mind if people WANTED either of these rulers - US or Saddam) and HE is evil.
