Has Hussein been tried as a war criminal? I read that he opted to be executed by firing squad but not possible because it was not a military court.

There was no "declaration" of war. The various countries that
invaded Iraq did so to afford freedom for it‘s own people.
This is called an intervention and not war. In fact, it was not
a military court, he was judged by an Iraqi civilian court and
not by a military court which has it‘s restrictions and would
not have been televised nor allowed any press release.

They should have accidently dropped a grenade in that hole they found him in. What a waste of time. Worse than the OJ trial.

WHO KNOWS... nothing else was normal, or right anyway. So maybe USA will grant him his wish for fighting IRAN all those years for USA.
But then maybe not, because USA loves to forget it`s allies.
