Saddam to Hang Tonight

Of his guilt, I think there is no question.  But I think the haste leaves a lot to be desired.  What is the rush?  I guess for his victims, there is no haste, just a long delay.  And I cannot "understand" what they have been through, only read it like a B Rated Horror movie.

But whatever the reason for the haste, one thing is for certain.  While the brain dead will paint this as an act by the "puppet" government of Iraq, it is clear, the US would rather it take a normal, not an expidited course.

But for all the hate and anger his victims hold, I will say this to them.  His death is not going to take that away, nor atone for his sins of the past.  In effect, it will be a meaningless death.  One that will be a mere footnote in History books.  With no Glory, no Honor, and no purpose.

Personally, I don't like what he did. However, I don't agree with his punishment. I dont think that the killing of a person, even if they killed others, is justified in any way.

Iraqi law says MUST be carried out before 30 days have passed


The same law under which the so called Dujail killings were carried out. In fact the tribunal that carried out the Dujail killings for which the Chief Justice Barazan was also hanged was far more legal than the sham trial in the Green Zone which convicted Saddam Hussein. This is not to say that Saddam was an innocent man. He probably was not but the point his that the Trial was neither free nor fair.

That brings up something to think about Bahu. Was it possible for the man to have received a fair trial?

I mean, seriously, realistically, was it *ever* possible?

France?
Brussels?
London?
D.C.?

I doubt he would've ever had a chance in hell.

Or, not just pertaining to him, but *any* person convicted of war crimes? Is it really justice that is keeping the trial going, or is it - perhaps - vengence, a vendetta?

Just some thoughts.
