Soooooo... The original question was if Saddam could get a fair trial, and now this thread is degenerating into a "the US was bad too" routine?
Could we please stick to the subject?
Saddam is on trial, for crimes against his own people and the world. The US isn't responsible for those crimes, even IF they supplied the weapons (which they didn't; ironically, Germans build the Iraqi chemical weapons factories). As always, it's still the guy pulling the trigger/giving the orders that is to blame. And that is Saddam.
As for it being possible for him getting a fair trial in Iraq; I'd say he's getting as fair a trial as is possible, given the circumstances. In fact, his trial is more fair than most trials of former dictators.
