Justice is blind. There should be no immunity for murderers who happen to rule nations. The death sentence issued to Saddam Hussein sends would-be Saddam Husseins a message: there are consequences to your actions. "Long live the people and death to their enemies," a defiant Saddam Hussein shouted to the court. "Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!" Isn't that what the court said to him, too?

Hopefully, a televised hanging is scheduled for tommorow, 8PM EST.

Scheduling this for before the election was a cheap trick.

Cry more

Who's crying?

I'm just saying this adminstration is an authortarian joke.

You can't conclude the trial until the defense rests its case.

The trial was a sham and everyone knows it. This is victor's justice plain and simple.

Which charge do you believe he was innocent of?

Saddam Hussein's "crime" was before he was Donald Rumsfeld's pal. Why did Donald Rumsfeld not refuse to shake hands with a murderer? Maybe because he is one himself?

Anyway we can get a bad seed off the planet works for me. Don't care how. Too bad we couldn't ship a bunch of death rowers over there for some swift brutal middle eastern justice. Ah, but I can dream.

The extremely out of context pictures in question is at an event where Rumsfeld shook hands with every leader in the Middle East.

Of course, thats irrelevant to the question.
