The conviction and death sentence for Saddam Hussein, handed down just two days before midterm elections in the U.S., was a transparent attempt to deflect attention from the crimes the U.S. commits--day in and day out--in Iraq.
When the Iraqi regime massacred the Kurds in 1988, the U.S. was silent--because Saddam Hussein was then a loyal ally, backed by Washington in his decade-long war on Iran. The U.S. supplied Iraq with the know-how and materials to make the poison gas that inflicted this horrible crime against humanity.
For these reasons the Bush regime should also be on trial in Iraq for the war crimes they have commited.
