I'm not mega up on this stuff right now, but it just seams weird/ironic/bullshit that he is being executed for crimes against humanity in 1982, but the US was buddy buddy with him back with the Soviet Union was invading Afganistan after that date.

While I'm not really that informed, it just seams odd to me that we are willing to partner/give weapons/give money to people who order "crimes against humanity" and then we turn around and fight a war with them 5 and 15 years later.

I hope Saddam's trial was fair and truthful. If it he's really guilty for crimes against humanity, then he should getting a fitting punishment. If this is just media brainwashing / politics then all I can say is that democracy is in full force. (I think if our forefathers would have anticipated the level in which communication technlogy would have evolved, they probably would have built extra safeguards into the constitution).

Anyway, I'm off topic. I've got a vocal session. Gotta go.
