...The monster who would be president should be skilled at sellecting a good brand of rope... Perhaps he can handpick his own to use when it comes his turn with the world court...

01/01/07 "Global Research" -- -- On the Holy day of Eid, the world watched in horror at the barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, allegedly for crimes against humanity. This public murder was sanctioned by the War Criminals, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.

This sadistic act broadcasted to the whole world is a travesty of justice, and was meant to demonstrate the imperial power of the United States and serves as a warning to peace loving peoples that we must either bow to the dictates of the Bush regime or face the consequences of a public lynching.

The lynching was also an insult to all Muslims, as it occurred on the Holy Day of Eid, whereby Muslims devote themselves to prayer and forgiveness. It is all too clear that the war criminal Bush has no sensitivities whatsoever for Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca. This barbaric act is a sacrilege!

The entire trial process was a mockery of justice, no less a Kangaroo Court. Defence counsels were brutally murdered, witnesses threatened and judges removed for being impartial and replaced by puppet judges. Yet, we are told that Iraq was invaded to promote democracy, freedom and justice.

A peaceful country has now been turned into a war zone. Over 500,000 children died as a result of the criminal economic sanctions, and the latest findings by the medical journal, Lancet reveals that over 650,000 Iraqis have died since the illegal invasion of 2003.

The War Criminal Bush has killed more Iraqis than President Saddam ever did, if in fact he was guilty of any crime. If President Saddam Hussein is guilty of war crimes, then the world must find Bush, Blair and Howard equally guilty and the International Criminal Court cannot but prosecute these war criminals. The inaction thus far by the International Criminal Court against Bush, Blair and Howard exposes the double standard of the said Court, when it does not hesitate to prosecute war crimes committed in Dalfur, Rwanda and Kosovo.

If we support human rights and justice, we must condemn this barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein. There can be no excuse whatsoever for this injustice under any circumstances. War Criminal Bush and the puppet regime in Iraq have made a mockery of the Rule of Law.

From the article:
"The discontinuity between the news of Saddam's hanging and the warmth and humanity of the holidays - the season of light, as they say - did strike me last night..."

Once again, as at what he has proven to be so adroit in the past (in fact, the ONLY thing of which he is adroit), President Bush has managed to destroy much of the good will expresseed in the "season of light," by scheduling a hanging during the season solely for his own perceived political gain. What, it couldn't wait until after the New Year? Hell, it takes us 20 YEARS to execute the condemned in America (or, it used to...) while the rest of the civilized world has outlawed execution altogether. Saddam was a murderous madman, but the World Court was the place to try him for crimes against humanity, not in a kangaroo-court of his enemies. That's not justice; it's revenge. By his actions, our president has once again proven that his heart is, indeed, as dark as the Seventh Circle, and his brain is just...a black hole.
