Fantastic. We have really shown them how to be better and what to
aspire to.
What's your problem? That Saddam's half brother was hung, or that his
head came off during hanging?
It was probably even more of a circus than Saddams execution.
They should all have been tried at the Hague. The proceedings should
have been open to scrutiny, translated for the world to hear;
none of their attornies should have been murdered.
The entire trial was a disgrace and the way the executions handled,
equally so, espcially since the UK doesn't have a death penalty and
the US has a significant appeals process. The entire thing besmirches
our history and good names.
It was probably even more of a circus than Saddams execution.
Furthermore, whats your personal problem with these guys?
Did they do something to you personally?
Do you feel, as an American that we should overturn the constituion
and just have lynchings again? Whats the basis of your extreme
animosity toward them that can justify the farce of their trial and
execution?

The only only disgrace was that there was a trial at all in
circumstances whereunder every child was ware of their misdeeds.
There's a limit to due process.
If they had to be tried then it was for the overall good that they were
tried in the country where they committed their crimes. The intention
was and is that Iraq shall once more become a state fit to take its
place in the world which one day it will have to do or disappear. It
will never become a real state if it is to be denied such basic rights
as to how to deal with its own criminals. To have taken the trial to
the Hague would have been an international admittance that Iraq and
Iraqis were incapable of administering their own justice. They were
fund guilty. For Christ's sake what other verdict would have been
expected even at the Old Bailey.
In any case there is no existing court in the Hague that would have had
jurisdiction over the case. One would have had to have been created as
in the case of Bosnia and Rwhanda. The verdict would ahve been the same
the perpetrators would merely have gone to prison.
Their Iraqi victims would have been denied justice.
What Gulag did you and your family administrate?
Innocent until proven guilty is the way of Anglo-Saxon
jurisprudence. You plainly have no regard for Western
vision and values.

What? A Sunni tried and executed by Shia? Whats
objective about that? We have a different system in the UK
and US and we were in control. This makes us seem like

No, they were tried by a partisan kangaroo court. The whole
thing was a sham. The real trial would have lasted years in the Hague.
A lot more would have come out about the US and UK relationship with
Iraq during the Cold War. Can't afford that now can we?

Ah, a Neocon. Mabye its not Arabic you speak?
You know, Mr. Williamson, (see, I can be nice) this is one thing where
you and might agree. There was no doubt that the Iraqi leadership was
corrupt and evil, and they all should have been shot on the spot when we
caught them. My contention, and the contention of the rest of the world,
is that we had no business invading a country in the first place to
enforce Bush's personal vendetta. Not one of these guys was worth the
death of one American soldier, one American dollar, or the long time
prestige and respect of our country. When Bush says "mistakes were made"
he is understating the real situation, as usual. He should have said, "I
totally fucked things up. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm stop right
now and get our troops the hell out of there. Forgive my ineptitude. I'm
asking Mr. Cheney to resign and I'm going to appoint a neutral person
that he Congress can argee on to take his place. Then I will resign and
leave the country in the hands of more competent leadership. I will
retire to Crawford, clear brush and keep my mouth shut from now on."
Yep, that's what he should have said.

Impeach Bush!

I have every respect for western juriprudence but even western
jurisprudence has its limits.
Saddam was not merely a murderer. He was not even a mere mass murderer.
He was a repetitive murderer and mass muderer. The fact of his crimes
are widely known and are undisputed. No doubt the facts of some of his
relatively minor crimes will forever remain unknown indeed their
relative triviality might have meant thhat even he had forgotten about
them.
Given such a scale of miscreance (itself an indequte word in this
context) how does one pen a case for the defence even a plea in
mitigation?
perhaps you would like to defend him?
Given the impossibility of such a task then what becomes the point of
any trial?
Legal process is not an end in itself. It exists to ensure that
individuals are not wrongly convicted and that any mitigating
circumstance may be taken into account. Is there any wonder that he
sought to disparage and discredit the court that itself made genuine
attempts to conduct proceedings in a spirit of dignity and decorum.
The reality was he had no other alternative. That was the only shot
left in his armoury.
> What? A Sunni tried and executed by Shia? Whats

If Iraq is to continue to exist than Sunni will have to be tried and
punished by Shiite just as Shiite will have to be tried and punished by
Sunni (or Kurd) Just as in our society black is tried by white and
white by black. Such considerations have to be pushed into the
background and if that's never going to be possible then the breakup of
Iraq should begin here and now.
Hussein was prosecuted, tried and executed by the state of Iraq. It
would not be quite the same here but the fact is that many countries
even quite politically advanced countries maintain a Ministry of
Justice and trials are very much administered ob behalf of the state.
It's not a system I personally would endorse but it is matter of fact.

To turn a blind aye to tyranny on the basis that it is not happening in
my back yard is to invite tyranny in that very same back yard. There is
an historical tendancy to ignore tyranny in the hope that it will
subside and disappear as it often does. Occasionally however, the
tyrant just takes takes just that one step too far and has to be
confronted. Kuwait or rather the aftermath of it no doubt was Saddam's
Poland.

Then yes I do!

Quite. Then we could have constructed a custom-made court house and
jail just for the occasion, and stretched things out over years to
provide lots of cushy jobs for those employed by various international
organizations. Sound like an excellent idea -- if you're one of those
getting the hand-outs.

The UK doesn't have the Death Penalty b/c it's only a quarter of what
it was when it was GREAT. You stiffnecks are barely two rungs above

That is patent nonsense.
Even though Saddam clearly committed some crimes, he was accused
by Western politicians of much more - often by association or gross
exaggeration - than was either true or provable.
Then there was Western complicity in some of his crimes which was
not brought out in the trial.

They have some aspiring to, certainly.
There are some calculations that can be done in order to drop the person
enough that his neck snaps killing him instantly but not with enough
force to pull it out of his body. In some cases where the person being
executed is overweight, the distances involved might not leave a lot of
room for error. Of course this is largely a janitorial question.
Let's not forget that what really happened is probably that the greedy
Saddam henchman had sewn some gold coins looted from Iraqis into the
lining of his trousers. You can't take it with you, but you sure can
try!

Iraq was running the trial because Saddam and his people committed their
crimes against Iraqis in Iraq. Of course things could've been done
better but to take this away from Iraq and put it into Europe would
really have rankled Iraqis and Arabs in general.

So what you're suggesting is in their "democracy" Iraq demonstrates to
the world the advantages of hanging somebody in a rush and ending up
pulling the guy's head from his body. That had to be messy.
1. I wonder, did it fall in a basket?
2. Will they send the head FedX to Bush or Cheney as a thophy?
3. Can we play too and make this the climax of the next impeachment?
Wow, no wonder Bush walks around with a boner. He really like this
kind of stuff and what a good example Iraq is, surely now it is so
much more civilized then it was under Saddam.

Tart tongues are tittering about the lovefest Hillary Clinton enjoyed this
week on the Rosie O'Donnell show. The two wore nearly identical dark pant
suits, and the hefty hostess kept referring to her guest affectionately as
"Hill."...Time magazine [is] preparing to anoint Hillary -- who's already on
the cover of Vogue -- as its Person of the Year. And yesterday, Hillary was
back on TV on Today giving Katie Couric a tour of the white House Christmas
decorations. The Horndog-in-Chief barely got a word in edgewise. When Couric
asked what they were thankful for this year, Hillary said, "We're healthy,
and we're sill here to do the job we were sent here to do." Notice the use
of the word "we." -- Page Six, New York Post, December 10, 1998

Nope..

Heh, when are you invading the several brutal countries in Africa. What
pompous B/S. You put me in mind of ass-kissing TV pundits who never
miss a chance to praise the "greatest generation". Of course, each
conveniently forgets that same generation objected to FDR sending arms
to Britain, some held Bund meetings in Madison Square Garden, Lindbergh
though Hitler was great. So forth and so on.
Odd that had we spent the Iraq war $1.2 trillion on energy and
transportation, and gave away all the R&D, moving the world into a post
petroleum economy, we could thumb our noses on the middle east
dictatorships. But, oh no, quick draw thugs like you say war is the
answer.
Interesting you mention Kuwait. Did you know Saddam asked Bush (through
the US ambassador April Glassby) for permission to invade Kuwait?

Heck, in your case, I'd recommend it as a prophylactic.
Then perhaps you would explain how any system of justice is expected to
work in a scenario whereunder a defendant is not only accused of a
great multititude of crimes and everyone including himself not only
thinks, not only believes but knows him to be guilty and further knows
there can be no question of mitigation. Whose onle defence is the bogus
affrontery to chaalenge the legitimacy of the court that tries him It's
far better he be hunted down and killed just like the mad dangerous dog
he is.

I am not aware that any of these brutal African dictators have as yet
taken that fateful step. Perhaps one day one will and then ...
Remember Entebbe? Just a shot across the bows!

The petroleum economy will be with us for a generation or more yet no
wonder how much you spend on R&D. So long as that is the case the ME
as a major source and supplier of petroleum will remain a region of
interest to the whole of the developed world.
> Interesting you mention Kuwait. Did you know Saddam asked Bush (through
> the US ambassador April Glassby) for permission to invade Kuwait?
No and neither do you!
It seems an extraordinary hypothesis that GWB I would consent to Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait safe in the knowledge that:
It might and probably would bring about enormous and unpredictable
repercussions regarding the political stability of the region.
That the security of oil resources including the oil resources of US
companies would be put in jeopody.
That the normalisation of the Kuwait situation would involve extensive
use of US armed forces with all the attendant costs both in resources
and lives that this would involve.
In short to let him in so that he could kick him out.
I'm sure that this makes perfect sense to crackpot conspiracy
theorists. It doesn't to anyone else.
Saddam belonged to the tradition that played one superpower against the
other and did not note the passing of the Cold war and recognise that
particular game to be over. After all had not the US acted so as to
prevent his defeat by Iran?
I'm sure he believed that the US would not intervene militarily
provided certain undertakings were made, that US interests in
particular would be respected ,the oil would continue to flow and so
on. I'm sure he thought he could play the political game and
procrastinate until the international community interest shifted onto
another focus or that other Middle eastern regimes gagthered about him.
He miscalculated. He made that fateful step I referred to earlier.
Kuwait was his Poland.
I strongly doubt it!
For a start I doubt whether Bush will attack Iran unless of course he
is provoked into it e.g. Iranian forces openly attack US forces. If
that happened then the people of the US would get behind any President
and Iran would be crushed just as a fly is crushed by a rolled
newspaper and with as little effort.
Iran is no military match for the US.
The crux to the nuclear issue if ever there is one will come well
outside the Bush Presidency.
Further I doubt very much whether Armajhad or whatever he calls himself
is as secure in his position as some whould have us believe. There are
distinct rumblings in Iran particularly from amongst the educated
classes for internal reform.
Bush's Iran, as well as Iraq, is Clinton's Somolia aka "Black Hawk
Down". You don't fight terrorists with army.
