Saddam was found guilty!
What a surprise. Saddam was found guilty. I never saw this coming. I realize that the United States had total control over this trial. It’s just that everything else the Bush administration has tried to do in Iraq has been a total failure. Why should the show trial of Saddam be any different?
Saddam was charged with a crime that doesn’t even exist in the Iraqi law. That is why deposed leaders are tried in international courts governed by international law when they commit crimes against humanity. They are never tried in their own countries.
I’m sure things in Iraq will settle down now that their deposed leader has been sentenced to death. If not now, surely when they finally lynch Saddam from a tall tree. I wonder if senator George Allen still has that lynching rope he use to display in his office. I realize it was was only a racist prop. That doesn’t mean it cannot be used to help spread democracy.
I have not been this surprised with a verdict since OJ Simpson was found liable for the wrongful death of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown in civil court.
