He's not exactly making a good case for himself when he compairs the lack of a clean set of clothes to wiping out much of a villiage. Whether or not you (or I) agree it was politically astute to go into his country I don't think he is anymore legitimate then any other warlord, and he certainly doesn't seem to get it when he complains that he is not geting the royal treatment. Even in the middle ages they had methods of disposessing rulers they thought were iligetimate, it's just ussually the people of the actual country had more to do with the process.

Yeah, but he doesn't have the finesse of Dick "Big Time" Cheney.

but who are WE to come into a sovereign nation and tell the leader 'The west is putting you on trial.

America...FUCK YEAH! (http://www.megiloth.com/sounds/america_fuckyeah.wav)

I'm not Pro-Saddam at all, but who are WE to come into a sovereign nation and tell the leader 'The west is putting you on trial."

Uh... would you use that same argument to denounce the Nuremberg war crimes trials?

I opposed the Iraq war, but that doesn't mean I think Saddam shouldn't stand trial for his crimes. I'd prefer the US drop their pigheaded opposition to the ICC, but given how the Milosevic trial has gone perhaps it's better that the Iraqis will have Saddam hung within a couple months.

When the duly appointed officials of the UN refuse to recognize the laws that they make, the US has a duty to prevent the world from screwing itself up again.

In this case the US/CIA put the leader there in the first place.

You're right, we shouldn't be using a western style court, let's just go ahead with the public execution.

We're not putting Saddam on trial, the Iraqis are. If the West was to put Saddam on trial, it'd be another embaressment in the Hague.

I bet Saddam is executed and becomes a Martyr, breathing new life into the insurgency and the BOSOM OF TERRORISM.

Personally, I don't see why he just didn't get disappeared.

Well, considering that its taking place in an IRAQI court not an AMERICAN court, I don't know that we are putting him on trial. Nevertheless, I know the point you're trying to make--but then, technically, aren't we also defending him? Former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark is now on his legal defense team.
