This crap farce of a trial needs to be put to an end. Martyr or no, this is just getting beyond ridiculous.

I'm sure we have a few spare hollow point or eagle talon shells laying around.

He may be a mass murderer, but Saddam is one Grade A Badass. "You're putting me on trial for crimes against humanity? F*ck you, I'm leaving."

Oh, the guy has balls the size of Gibraltar, to be sure. But I just don't see why the Iraqis allow this guy to piss all over them.

Old habits dying hard, I guess.

I don't get that either. Why not drag him in there, chain him down, and if his defense team walks out or he fires them, tough titty, the show must go on. At the rate this is going, they're going to exile him to Elba.

Can't we just skip the whole "100 Days", not bother the Duke of Wellington, and just have him sent straight to St. Helena? ;)

I think it's as important for the Iraqi's to handle this under the rule of law as it was for the Allies to allow the theatre that was Nuremburg and the Tokyo War Crimes trials. While it may be frustrating, even galling, it's important for the building of a Democratic society, IMO.

It's a display of the value of Democracy. Even someone as hated as Saddam can get an almost-overly fair trial.
