Don't you agree that Saddam's Trial is a parody of justice?

Question

It's a total farcical comedy. I feel as if I were watching some slapstick show.

Answer 1

Considering where it's taking place, and considering who they're trying, I'm sure they're doing the absolute best job they possibly can. There are countless underlying influences, many powerful people trying to alter the outcome. It must be a nightmare for everyone involved.

Answer 2

He should have been on the end of a rope by now. Those Nuremberg Trials did not screw around. So long, Goering. Adios, Streicher. I actually felt pity for Saddam, which is crazy.

Of course, if America is really about bringing justice to tyrants, why didn't we put Mao on trial? Or Stalin? Or Omar Al-Bashir and Robert Mugabe for that matter?

Answer 3

Just be glad the trial is taking place in Iraq and not here. His bleeding heart defence lawyers here would make him a savior to his people and likely get off with a suspended sentence of a couple years, if found gultly at all.

Answer 4

May be u feel the trail is funny
But this is the justice .
at least the people give Sadam a chance to defend him self ,bring witness and have a lawer
in his days no such thing was applied
people were killed for saying names on him.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

If I were Saddam Hussein, I would demand that my trial be postponed or dropped on this basis:

The honorable Senate Democrats in the United States are doing a great investigation to find out exactly what happened to cause me to lose my country, and until they get every one of their questions answered about the manipulation and the distortion of the intelligence -- and of course all of the lies about my having weapons of mass destruction; all this before my country was invaded -- I can't get a fair trial, I, Saddam Hussein, would argue that I never had any weapons of mass destruction, and whatever bad intelligence was generated by a cowboy, fratboy president and his staff, who have poisoned world opinion about me and my government, and as such, I can't get a fair trial anywhere -- and I want my country back. I'm going to make this trial about George W. Bush, and I'm going to be calling as witnesses people like Dick Durbin and Ted Kennedy. Hell I'm going to call Chuck Schumer.

I would accuse the lying President Bush of manufacturing evidence and spreading propaganda to a bunch of gullible reporters like Judith Miller of the New York Times and say that there exists a massive conspiracy just like Hillary Clinton said; a massive right-wing conspiracy to prop up a failed presidency, and to distract the world from the damage the Bush White House has done to the world's environment, the world's workers, the world's unions, the world's teachers -- and most of all the world's children. "I'm following the lead of these great honorable Senate Democrats of the United States Senate who have the guts and the courage to get to the bottom of all of this."

. My country is Muslim. We are very different from western countries, and that scares stupid, evangelical cowboys like George Bush. Why, Prince Charles even had to go tell Bush, "You misunderstood Islam," the other day. I'd call Prince Charles as a witness! So what does this cowboy Bush do when his oil baron buddies can't have my oil for themselves? Well, they start a war on false pretenses because everybody knows that this war was about nothing but oil and that's why all the intelligence was trumped up, and that's why all of the lies were told and that's why everybody was told and agreed that I had weapons of mass destruction, is because the world wants my oil led by the cowboy Bush, -- I thank Allah daily --for the Democrats of the United States Senate who are leading this courageous effort to prove what a liar and a disaster on the world stage George W. Bush has been. I can't get a fair trial, and until I get a fair trial -- which is not possible -- I demand my country back. All of this that has happened has been based on lies. The world can't sleep at night. If the world can do this to me, a man with nothing but love in his heart for his people, what will they do next? Who will they do it to next? The cowboy Bush -- Cheney, Libby, Rove -- they must be stopped, and it's the Senate Democrats in that great institution, the United States Senate, who are leading the way.

I, Saddam Hussein, demand to be tried in your court system because I am covered under the Geneva Conventions, and I should receive better treatment. And, by the way, I wish to point out -- and I know many people in the American ACLU will agree with me on this -- I, Saddam Hussein, was not Mirandized by the soldiers who captured me. I was denied a speedy trial as compelled by the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. The charges ought to be dismissed. They did nothing but point weapons at me in that foxhole. They didn't tell me my rights! They didn't tell me I had to shut up; they didn't tell me anything I said could be used against me. I was lied to not only by Bush but by the whole US military, by Rumsfeld. I was lied to by Condoleezza Rice!

I am innocient ! I didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, and Joe Wilson knows it and his wife, Valerie Plame, knows it. And so, my friends, I, Saddam Hussein, throw in with the Democrats in the United States Senate. They are my allies, and until they finish their great and glorious work for Allah in uncovering the truth about the lies and the distortions of the cowboy Bush, I demand these trials be postponed and the charges dismissed -- and I get my country back!!! A bit of a satire true but it's possible? lol gotta love the dimwits er I mean Democrats in power today.

Answer 7

The outcome is already set. Just want to show to the world how the process is done so that it looks "logcal".

Saddam's final sentence is "Death" just like Slobodan Milosevic. We just need to see how they ( the american) do it.

Answer 8

When Jim Carrey comes to Saddam's defense, you'll be right.
