[lbo-talk] Re: [Interesting Day for Intl Legal Scholars

[Thomas Seay]

Can you imagine the possibilities IF by some miracle
this case were to go to International Criminal Court. 
Bet the Bushies or any others in the ruling circles
would not want that televised.  We might get questions
put to Sadam about his past involvement with the
United States, etc.

I am afraid it will never get that far though. Sadam,
I bet, is going to a US military tribunal.  He will be
tried, found guilty and executed.  I dont really
grieve at the thought of "losing" Sadam, but there is
more at stake here: once more US power will assert
itself and try to legitimate itself against any
international boundaries.  What will the reaction of
the International community be?  If they protest, Bush
and company will try to make the point that they are
supporters of Hussein for doing so.  Tricky times, no?
