I have been paying very little attention to the news recently, but I have been catching updates on the Saddam trial. This thing is going to be total bullshit. I mean, is there any way that he won't be found guilty? Of course not. Have any of you seen the charges that he is being brought up on? How about being charged for the torture committed by Iraqi troops during the invasion of Kuwait? A leader should be responsible for atrocities committed by soldiers? Really? Where does that leave Bush? How about the charge for dropping chemical weapons on the Kurds? Now if I killed someone and you knew I was going to do it and you sold me the gun - you would be guilty as an accomplice. This of course means that if Saddam's lawyers are any good (if they actually let his lawyers in the courtroom) they will bring up the fact the US was supplying Saddam with weapons and had knowledge of the atrocities being committed by his regime. That would make the US and accomplice. This of course, doesn't excuse Saddam's liability and nobody is going indict the US but it would be interesting if this stuff actually came out.
