and so the bunny chose to break it's own rule and went turtle on the elephant

it seems to me like this whole death of saddam thing was rushed.
i don't necessarily agree with capital punishment in any form, but if they were serious about actually hanging (forgive the pun) any real charges on him, wouldn't it be the genocide ones?
i don't feel that his death sentence for hunting down a couple of would be assassins and killing maybe a hundred people in the process is worthy of the sentence they imposed. a few life sentences without no chance of parole, maybe.
i would have thought the iraqi courts would have wanted to give him a right royal grilling during the genocide trial, but instead they chose to let that one slip away: in effect, admonishing saddam of any involvment.
i agree with some people on this: that it was a politically motivated move. they simply wanted to get him out of the way for fear he'd slip out of their fingers and back into power (or something like that).
i don't agree with saddam's policies or his motivations for violent leadership, i disagree with all leaders who choose to supress their people for their own gain. what i disagree with is the sentence and the farce that was the trial that lead to this sentence.

i think the people of iraq were owed something more than what they recieved.

til next....
