Yes, we have the dictator who did horrible things to his people. Yes, he should be put on trial and tried for his crimes. (who wants to be the guy defending him?). But where? Iraq? They're probalby building the gallows as I write this. The UN? They'll convict, but not execute. Which will placate the British and the Vatican, but anger the Iraqis and Afgans.
And what about speaking inone own defense? Ashcroft gets twitchy when "enemy combatants" want to peak with lawyers. Whaty happens when Saddam is in the house and on the mike?
And would execution basically make him a martyr, a symbol for those currently exploding and becoming part of the view?
And if we don't kill him, where do we build Spandau prison?

This is going to get very strange, very quickly.
