Saddam's trial

The verdict of the kangaroo court sponsored by the U.S. to try Saddam Hussein is a foregone conclusion. While the U.S. has spent millions to train the prosecutors to present the case, the accused remains defenceless as his lawyers have been denied time and access to information. In fact it is George W. Bush who must be brought to trial for killing thousands of innocent Iraqis in the name of liberating their country.

Is it not ironical to try Saddam Hussein for killing 143 people when President Bush is responsible for the killing of many more in Iraq and Afghanistan? No foreign power has the right to dictate what should be done with a deposed leader of a sovereign country. If Saddam Hussein has committed crimes against humanity, he should be tried by an international tribunal.
