#1 International Court in the Hague, my a$$. After they try and fry Saddam, maybe the Iraqi Judicial should start requesting extradition of certain UN and other burearcrats for aiding and abbeting Saddam's murderous regime in the Oil for Food Scandal. The UN needs to be on the dock, too.

#5 Perhaps {E} was just being snarky. Or perhaps {E} was anticipating a concerted effort by the Y'urp-peons to rescue Saddam or get him transferred to the International Court for ~~room service~~a trial.

#10 A long, serious trial, obviously a real trial and not some sham, really intimidates a lot of the dictators and Imams around there.

It goes against the grain: people sitting in judgement of you, not Allan. If Allan finds you guilty, you are deposed and/or die, no explanation, no argument. But if people do it, in their slow and methodical manner, and Allan doesn't intercede one way or the other, it means that you aren't *special*, that you're just another thug. Allan doesn't care.

It hurts their egos, their pride. It makes them question whether they are who they are because Allan favors them, or just because they are a nasty bastard. And every nasty bastard knows that there are plenty of other nasty bastards just waiting in the wings.
