I know what I’d do with Saddam Hussein. I would not put him on trial in The Hague with some French lawyer defending him.
You cannot defend Saddam. He is guilty of horrendous crimes. There is no doubt. There can be no presumption of innocence here. The Iraqi’s themselves should put him on trial. The trial would not be to prove his guilt, but rather to list his crimes and be a catharsis for the Iraqi’s. It should last long enough until the Iraqi’s feel sated.
Then they can take him outside and hang him, shoot him, or whatever method of killing him they would like. They are the ones that suffered under his rule and vengeance belongs to them.
I might suggest one thing. I don’t know much about Iraqi culture, but it seems to be a big insult to hit someone with your shoe. So after the trial, they can parade him through the center of Baghdad and everyone can whack him with their shoe.
Then they can shoot him, chop his body into a hundred pieces and bury each one in a separate part of Iraq.
