Thread Name: BS: Saddam sentenced to death
Subject: RE: BS: Saddam sentenced to death
I do agree that the West should not be involved & that his trail should've been held in the country where the cime took place be the citizens of that nation & be held when the people of that country finally & truely are in position to rule themselves. I'm against the death penatly no matter what. The UN (I believe it was the UN) in the past has used prisons that are manned, operated & guarded by an international presence to contain people carrying a life sentence for crimes against humanity. If it were to be held in this nation as it was then the present US administration should also be on trail as co-conspirators as well as any others involved in knowingly selling the weapons used & knowing what they were being used for, unless they objected & tried to prevent this crime against humanity from happening. If they knew & weren't activily involved they should be summoned as key witnesses & the world should be privy to the whole of the trial. With the death of the Sadman away goes any futher chance of linking any officals to what really happened & it all goes under the rug & will be looked upon as a 'CLEAN & DEAD' issue which it's not. This whole issue is part of our present war & history shouldn't be written so quickly while it's still in the making. Let's write history when it finally becomes history & not put the cart before the Ass.
