THe trial of Saddam is a nice piece of moral theatre, and it's good to have him facing his responsibility. But if we're wishing death upon Saddam, what should be done about the people who actually carried out his policies? Surely in a situation such as this, we should hold all people responsible for their actions? Untold thousands of people were killed by Saddam's policies in Iraq, but they weren't killed by Saddam alone; on each and every occaision there was another depraved, perverted person willing to execute, rape or torture the victim/s. There's many thousands of those guilty people now enjoying their freedom in Iraq, and every single one of them is just as culpable for their actions as Saddam is for his.
