Sunny Days in Heaven Spiritual/Political/Philosophical Blog on the Nature of Truth and Falsehood and Heaven |
Monday, December 15, 2003 Saddam's Trial will be fair I haven't been able to blog because of a lower back spasm that has rendered me speechless. (Well, I can say ow, Oh!, ooh ooh, ahh, and $%@!&^*%%%) I have been reading, though, how so many people around the world are expressing their deep concern that Saddam may not receive a fair trial. How in the world or heavens does anyone imagine that he's not guilty of heinous crimes? This is a classic - "We'll give him a fair trial and then hang him." The idea that some sort of impartial tribunal might consider a defense that would exonerate him of all charges is beyond silly. No. He'll get his day in court and then they'll hang him. Of course it will be fair. Judge: How do you plead? Saddam: Innocent. Judge: We find you guilty. Case closed. Post Script: Have you ever been in Traffic Court? You will often hear these words when a defendant is asked how he pleads - "Guilty, but with an explanation." Maybe Saddam could try that if he's at The Hague. The Europeans would go for that. posted by Mark Butterworth | 11:27 PM | |
