Greetings Everyone,
Ebou Jallow I disagree with you that Saddam should just face a firing
squad. I feel the firing squad is too swift a purnishment for Saddam
Hussein. He should stand trial under under the auspices of an International
Criminal Court. If the verdict is that he should be executed then so be it.
Jabou Joh I agree with you on the issue of transparency and justice is
paramount that those who enabled Saddam Hussein reign of tyranny should also
be brought to account.
However it seems that the coallition believe that they are above the law.
In fact they make and break international laws to suit their own agenda of
power and greed, divide and rule. With Khaddifi now deciding to destroy all
Libya's weapons of mass destruction, and Iran also doing the same. Isn't it
time for the heads of the coalition to destroy all their weapons of mass
destruction too? Or is the whole issue of WMD another red herring to
preserve the military dominance of the west. Which is just another
demonstration of double standards of west knows best, or do as I say and not
what I do?
I await the opinions of others on this issue.
Peace
Sophia Ba
