#1 Oh well. Guess the Iraqis will have to try Saddam themselves without any special international expertise. Guess they'll have to hang him, too, without any special international expertise.

#2 But then the trial and the hanging won't be "legitimate"...because of the lack of international imprimatur.

Oh well. Sammy will be just as dead.

#3 I'd guess that without special international expertise, hanging might be the best thing that could happen to Sammy

#4 I suppose the tribunal might get a bit more respect if the presiding judge wasn't named "Rodney al-Dangerfield." [:-)]

#5 Just send Saddam to Paris for a medical checkup. We may never find out of what killed him.

#6 Could the "human rights" community have delegitimized itself any more thoroughly or despicably if they tried over the last few years? Any Marine in the field has done more for human rights, and has exercised better judgement under much more difficult conditions, than all of these moral narcissists put together. Here's to hoping that Iraq deals with Saddam w/out a lick of "international expertise". Never too early to start learning.

Ah, but it'll be legitimate where it counts - in Iraq.
