Bush, Blair and Saddam

A monster, a poddle and a madman.

Excerpt:

There can be no doubt about the moral justice
of yesterday's Baghdad tribunal judgment on Saddam. 

He was directly responsible for the deaths of
hundreds of thousands of innocent people, chiefly Kurds 

and Shias, and arguably for many more killed
in the Iran-Iraq war. Yet it is quite another matter whether 

it is right or politically prudent to execute
him, after the shambles of a trial that he has undergone. 

Bush was always determined that Saddam should
die - but at the hands of his own people rather than 

those of Americans. Bush's handling of this issue
restores one's respect for Pontius Pilate.
