While I mostly think executing Saddam is a mistake at this juncture (without a unified government making the decision), I can also completely understand it: There's no real moving past his reign of terror as long as there's a chance he'd oneday regain power. You can stop laughing now- while it sounds farfetched to [i]us[/i] the Baathists have used the possibility to keep much more influence than would have been thought possible two years ago. There's also the (slightly) revisionist history aspect of "things were so much better under Saddam" that makes leaving him alive a huge liability. Many Sunnis would not be opposed to having him back in power....a lot of people want a return to the old status quo. For the record, I'm [i]for[/i] execution of mass murderers- keep the ineffective "world court" out of it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
