How is a trial for Saddam Hussein even possible? I've been told they're modeling it after war crime trials from World War II. They pick certain events--jailing then torturing an entire village for instance--and try him for that. Then move onto the next heinous act. I just read that it is possible he will get the death sentance by hanging, which seems obvious. However someone suggested to me yesterday that they will never hang him. It would make him a martyr. Better to let him rot in jail for the rest of his life, suffering, becoming pathetically cowed and dying alone. Honestly, which is worse? But that would keep him around as a cause too--can't you see a suicide bomber screaming "Free Sadam"?
Just today he screamed at the judge to "go to hell" and that he would not return to "an unjust court." He also claims he's been denied access to "exercise facilities." Who does he think he is? An all-powerful tyrant? I was denied exercise facilities once too. They said, "This isn't your gym. Now put on some pants and get out." You don't see me complaining do you?
So again I ask: How to you hold a trial for evil? I can't even stand to watch.
