But maybe that's an unfounded concern: South Africa and Vietnam managed to avoid turning their post-horror trials into platforms for revenge, so there's no reason to expect Iraq to fail in that regard, either. Either way, the important point is that the U.S. should _not_ try him. </BLOCKQUOTE> Yep. I have been thinking International Criminal Court. too, but I have to admit if the Iraqi courts were strong enough to try their current occupiers too.... DC</HTML>
