Saddam to die
November 5th, 2006 at 16:35
So, Saddam’s been sentenced to death. Way to go, non-barbaric post-Saddam Iraqi society!
I mean, if I was in charge of Iraq and wanted to take the moral highground over Saddam, I’d definately do exactly the same thing that Saddam used to do. State-sponsored murder is exactly the way to gain credibility as a friendly progressive state.
In fact, when I hear good news, the first thing I do is wildly fire small arms into the air. That’s definately not going to end in more problems.
It’s funny that on the news the pro-Saddam crowds protesting are unarmed and the anti-Saddam ones celebrating are waving pistols about and firing AK47s into the air with gay abandon.
Its interesting that whilst Ireland and Spain have said “Boooo, death penalty” in response, Britain’s Margaret Beckett has made a statement that an arms dealer would be proud of…
“Appalling crimes were committed by Saddam Hussein’s regime. It is right that those accused of such crimes against the Iraqi people should face Iraqi justice.”
Is it right that when those accused of such crimes against Tony Martin should face Tony Martin justice?
I don’t know why I expected the international community to have any integrity when the verdict was read out- its not like they’ve got a history of it.
Gaaaaah.
