They're Going To Hang Saddam & His Henchmen. Why Do I Not Feel Safer?

"It is easy to tell the difference between the trial of Saddam Hussein and the Nuremberg tribunal. That was a grave and dignified affair; Saddam's trial is more like a French farce, . . . Given the chaotic incompetence of the Iraqi regime created by the occupation forces, the ludicrous spectacle unfolding before our eyes in the courtroom in Baghdad then became inevitable. Abdel-Rahman and his fellow judges will find Saddam guilty, no doubt, and they will hang him as fast as possible. But the court is accomplishing the improbable feat of turning this monster of a man into a hero and a martyr in the eyes of many people across the Arab world, and even in Iraq itself."
