it looks like a no win situation for the bush squad and their iraqi quislings...the charade of legitimacy is so fragile....right now, hussein would be tried under american law as i understand it, which is a funny kinda way to demonstrate the sovereignty of iraq....

i am not getting a sense as reactions pile up from various sources that there is whole of directly pro-hussein responses---he might be turning into a symbol of a kind of fuck you geroge bush response, which would be at once not surprising and depressing. but this sort of thing has happened before.

is the suspicion of international courts etc. really just a function of this particular situation--i dont believe it----still interested to see


A bit heavy on the conspiracy theories, RB.

My prediction: Saddam will be tried next year, found guilty based upon the overwhelming body count and executed. I will break out a bottle of nice vintage champagne and drink a toast to him burning in hell.
