[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"We (U.S., Australlia and Britan)sentence people to life in prison for ONE murder and the Iraquis sentence people to death for the same thing. "So where does the world court get off judging by the standards of France and Italy when the agreeved parties (and in fact Saddam himself) judge on a much harsher system?"</blockquote> Well, you seem to be assuming that Britain and its descendants do justice the "right" way, and others to it "wrong". One look at the US prison system kills, buries, and desecrates the grave of that theory. Now, granted, I'll agree that someone convicted of what I believe is typically termed "crimes against humanity" shouldn't be getting released from punishment anytime within their life. And, if the international court is being too lenient, maybe we ought to get involved in it and see whether they'll change their minds. But don't just assume that the US and Britain & Co. are the be-all and end-all of human civilization. If a significant percentage of the world disagrees with you, isn't it better to discuss it openly, then to yell "He's our prisoner, and we're going home!"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
