Is Saddam Hussain richly deserved the death sentence he received for atrocities in the pro American judiciary? But it would be a great mistake to carry out the sentence anytime soon in the present atmosphere of Iraq.
No doubt it would be a source and catalyst for another chaos in the present situation. Hussein will come to be viewed as a martyr or, worse, in the light of the current troubles in Iraq. Saddam Hussein should also be put on trial at International Court of Justice so that this decision would be more crystallised in the air of justice.
This decision should also be seen in the recent mid-term election, which is going to be held soon in America. All of this is clearly an attempt to influence the election.
This posturing demonstrates the narrow view of political expediency in the history of America. Saddam's execution will put Iraq into full-scale civil war and might be possible to become a shudder of fresh horrors that await American troops serving in Iraq. We believe that no one should be above the law. In this context, does Bush deserve anything?
