The upcomming OJ... uhhhh I mean saddam trial.

I'm not so concerned about where or how he's tried. It's important, no doubt, but I think his fate will be the most important factor.

At this point, even if he is tried by an Iraqi tribunal, if they choose death it will be under the approval of the U.S. I'm not so sure that's the right message. Granted it will surely bring joy to those who despise the man, it will also further infuriate those who are already in opposition.

Once again it's sort of another "rock and hard place". In all honesty, I think the preference would have been for him to go out fighting or be killed in combat. Then we could have played the benevolent role and said we did it out of necessity. We had no choice. He would then have choosen the terms of his demise. Instead, it puts the burden of guilt, even through a second party, on us and once again expands our culpability in the eyes of Anti-American Arabs.
