Not to worry Habib, and thanks for the vote of confidence.
I do not think anyone can argue against trying Saddam Hussein, but it has to
be according to the tenets of international law. Therefore, Bush's open
proclamation to hang him even before the trial takes place and advocating the wrong
venue and an illegal trial under international law guidelines to which the U.S
is signatory is not and cannot be acceptable for the sake of human rights
everywhere.
