It ain't right, death penalty seriously ... We're in 2007, we're supposed to be the most evolued self conscient being in the universe. And what ... Rope + Hasty Trial + Hatred = Justice Justice ? Don't kid me ... Revenge ... maybe ... or maybe worst, occidentals silencing the old man. Ok, the guy was "Evil", killing people and such ...
But "We" did support him, selling weapons, technology, ...
To superpowers the man was an embarassing person, not a threat (Military speaking), not a "I-Gotta-take-the-man-down-for-democracy-and-human-rights".

Just guess what would have happened if Saddam had an A-bomb or decent weaponery ...
No invasion, no embargo, no International indignation, ...

" The Saddam Evil Dictator is slaying people for fun in his counrty, we gotta take him down, bring a rope and some missiles ... "
" No can't do ... He got some Massive Dest... err ... We just cannot barge in a sovereign state like that, if you got a complain ask the UN "

It's no matter of justice anyway
Powerfull Third Party + Greed + Paranoid + Weakened state + Unpopular leader * Crimes = Irak-like scenario.

The result ? More Ennemy Combattants ...
"Man gimme some ... Extra clips, gotta avenge the old man, don't hang the representation of my country."

I don't mean that Saddam's vanishing isn't a good thing, I just say, when you bring the shit elsewhere, unless you suppress all witnesses, the shit will come right back, amplified.

Come on ... No need of the "World Police" we need a mediator.
