Saddam

3rd January 2007

What is extraordinary is that the crimes Saddam Hussein was executed for, in that village in 1982, were committed during a time that the US and its allies tacitly supported his regime. They certainly didn't withdraw support for him when this massacre became common knowledge!

Instead, 24 years later, the Americans, having orchestrated the trial to send him to the gallows, handed him over to a bunch of thugs whose human rights record is no better than his.

What Hypocrisy!
