SH is about to have his day in court. If found guilty should the ultimate sentance of death be carried out?

Why make the man a martyr?? Far more trouble than it’s worth.

I'm with you, pr00ne!

Can't think of a feasible alternative though - life imprisonment in Guantanamo Bay doesn't seem a realsitic option.

I can see it now......

"I'm a former dictator, get me out of here"

"Celebrity Torture Island" (actually that's not such a bad idea now I think about it)

or

"Regime Swap"...

"X-president Factor"

If the new regime in Iraq is to resemble the sort of government we call democracy then he has to be tried in court and the new laws must be seen to work - otherwise all the lives have been lost for nothing.

However, I doubt very much if that country can be run our way - I suspect a benign dictatorship is what they need to resolve the conflicting requirements of tribe, religion and sect.

Given that he will be getting a fair trial, what do we do if he is found innocent?

"Sorry mate, erm, here's your country back... sorry about that."
