The future, such as it is, faced by Saddam Hussein seems to be causing widespread differences of opinion, thus continuing the pattern of reactions to the invasion of Iraq. The Iraqis most certainly want to put him on trial and it now appears that the Iranians would like him to face justice for war-crimes committed during the Iran-Iraq war of the early 80s. Additionally, I have read that the Israelis would also like Saddam to be tried for the 1991 Scud attacks against their cities.
I still believe that the Iraqis should be the ones to try the former dictator. It would appear likely that they will want to impose the death penalty. This is a difficult issue for me, as I'm opposed to the idea of capital punishment. Nevertheless, if this did come to pass, I'd shed no tears for the departure from this world of this odious monster. Double standards this may well be, but in this particular case my conscience would, I'm sure, rest easy.
