I can't believe you actually
gave Hussein a trial!

I believe that it was Iraq that gave him a trial, not the US.

They would really like Iraq to stand on its own two feet. Of
course, they would like them to be democratic, secular feet,
with a few military bases in the country, too. ;-)


Had not the U.S. forced the Iraqis to put Saddam on trial before
the entire world, they would have meted out the traditional
punishment for despots like him - stoning to death. As to the last
paragraph, President Bush probably has been over zealous in
promoting these ideals, but then, we all know this is about oil,
right?


A stoning would have been preferable.

No argument from me, but he had much more painful ways to torture people,
ending in death. One of those would have been appropriate.

Torture is one thing, execution is another. But, wrt stoning,
Goggle a little and find out what this is really like. It is a
slow, extremely painful, agonizing way to die not at all like the
human hanging Saddam really received.

Then the stoning is what he deserved.

Since we're on the subject of what we think personally vs. what is
prudent for our governments to do, I would have paraded Saddam
through the streets of Baghdad, later turn him over to its
citizens, and let them do what they want, which would have been to
kill him in the most gruesome manner possible. But, I like to think
I live in a civil, compassionate country which values fairness and
which also does not want extreme measures used by our military
people who might get captured. The only way to ensure that the
world believes we practice what we preach is to follow
international law as well as American law and the Constitution.

It turns out that a several protected, rare birds in Germany have been feeding on a species of protected, rare fish. In response to this dilemma, exasperated German officials have decided to do the only thing that makes sense in this kind of a situation - kill all the environmentalists.
