If Iraq is South Africa, then Saddam is PW Botha
This is a comment I posted in response to this new article describing the Vatican's response to Saddam's death scentence.
It saddens me that the verdict of a hidden tribunal, stating acts put into place after America's invasion, with a verdict given two days before American congressional elections can be supported at all. Even if Saddam is an evil man, we cannot and should not accept the verdict of a court with so many doubts cast over it.
As for permanent incarceration, America has managed to keep very many people 'permanently' incarcerated, even if it violates their human rights. In many cases this incarceration occurs in 'secret' prisions. I am sure they would be capable of the same for Saddam.
I think South Africa is a wonderful example here. PW Botha a force of the apartheid regieme who refused to appear at the Truth and Reconcilliation council once it was done with was still able to live out his life in South Africa. This is the spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness that Iraq needs. Not a forced execution in the light of a country divided.

Finally! Someone making sense. MMM..Nic knows a few people with their head s screwed on straight..
Once again it's like living in the twighlight zone: America says, Iraq harbours evil, let us kill the woman and children before their evil government destroys them..WAIT! drop food for them, we wouldn't want them to starve now. We're not inhumane!!
