Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Saddam may have done so many mass killings... but not a fraction of that of US.. the US has however veryy cunningly crafted themselves... to the extent that... who do we hang for all those deaths in Iraq?

besides... an american regime has no right to hang saddam, considering what they have themselves done...

So, do you want him released? How about if he moves in next door to you? Share a fence.

Your point of view seems to be that no death in Iraq has any justification. Also, and more importantly, that every death (even by old age) is America's fault.

This position makes no sense. There is history to every action, and there are consequences to every action.

America, is, from what I can tell from the bile spewed here every day, ordering its military to take strolls and joyrides around Baghdad and killing innocent people, at random, for no reason, with no provocation, no justification.

If that is your interpretation of what is happening, then you need more than Newsvine.

The people in the picture or the story. Are they protesting America? Are they denouncing our troops?

The Iraqi government is maintaining order in the areas. Don't you remember the purple fingers? Don't you remember the Kuwaitis? Do you see no progress at all? What hatred has blinded everyone here so much?

You're an idiot, no 'American regime' is hanging anyone.

Yea you're right, I forgot how polite I REALLY am in real life. Silly me.

Edit to above:
Sir, I believe you are mistaken. I am quite sure that the aforementioned American regime will not directly hang Saddam. Although I strongly admire and respect your opinion, I simply cannot bring myself to agree with you

To have a chance to answer your question would be delightful..

who do we hang for all those deaths in Iraq?

I'm sure your choice is Bush, but gee-golly we're all such nice people, you wouldn't come right out and say it. My choice is you. Whoops.
