Does he go back to being the Dictator of Iraq and we pull all of our troops? It would be crazy shit if a U.N. Tribunal found him innocent of all charges.
With the shit he has done he can't be found innocent. However they do have a point not acknowledging the tribunal. After all it was set up during occupancy by the US and funded by Washington.
This is going to be a reality TV show for the American public in the likes of Joe Schmoe. Certain have already been decided and the verdict is one of those things. Everything that happens between now and then is just for show.
It won't happen and its impossible for him to even get a fair trial. A fair trial would give him a soap box for months to spout off whatever he wanted to. A lot of it would be truthful statements about the United States' role in the Iran/Iraq war. It would also give him lots of power. These things CANNOT happen from the USA's POV. The trial already is not in accordance with international law, as he should be tried in the International Criminal Court in The Hague like Milosovic. The death penalty would also NOT be an option in the international court.

I also don't think it would be considered due process to how he was brought to trial. In a fair trial, a person is presumed innocent until found guilty, but how do you presume Saddam is innocent after we've already invaded his country for his actions. Technically we should have tried him first, found him guilty, then invaded, although that wouldn't be 100% fair either as he would have never shown up to the trial. I don't see him coming out innocent, and if he does, George W would go down in history as a joke. I doubt he will let that happen.
Also, notice what they are trying them for. A 1982 massacre, what ever happened to the WMDs?
I don't think he's being tried by a UN tribunal is he? Isn't he being tried by the new Iraqi govt?
Yes he is , if they wanted it to be real they would of tried him at the hague but this is a show then he would be killed. The US doesnt want him tried anywhere they cant control because Saddam can start pulling all kinds of skeletons out of the closet. He was put into power by the US, remember the pic of him shaking hands with Don Rumsfield well that was after he gassed all those kurds with poison we gave him.So they want to control what happens.
It's a shame they show his trial witha 20 minutes delay. I wish it was realtime, and he would open a book aout all the countries that kissed his ass. Don't forget the USA supported him on the war first,...
He will get senteced to death on the first trial....(killing 145 men) the other
trials won't happen.....he'll be executed before that......I don't understand
why they try him first for the smallest case......oh wait I do understand.
The US doesn't want him to go further to trial....he might leak sensitive
information about the US being involved with the masacre of the kurds
and the invasion of Kuwait.
Oh and before all the Patriots start screaming US hater.....I love most of the
americans and admire the US for a lot of different things......unfortenately
politics isn't 1 of them
I can honestly say that if I was on that jury, I would have had to acquit him, because a reasonable doubt existed in my mind-according to the law.
But he's still guilty as hell.
I think the problem that the OJ jury ran into is that he was guilty AND he was set up. If the LAPD hadn't went that extra mile trying to ensure his conviction (planting the glove etc) OJ would be in prison right now.
Once some of the evidence seemed to be suspect, it ALL became suspect and resulted in a murderer walking away free.
