Because all diplomats at the U.N. have laws in their home countries, here is a comparison of Saddam to the common criminals that infect every country.

Saddam is a common street thug that has broken into his neighbor’s house (Kuwait and Iran) in order to steal their property.

The police (the Coalition) came and forced him out of his neighbor’s house (Kuwait). The criminal (Saddam) was forced to leave most of the property behind (although 600 Kuwaiti’s are still unaccounted for).

The courts (the Coalition) convicted the criminal (Saddam) for his crimes. The criminal (Saddam) agreed to give up his offensive weapons as a condition of his probation. The criminal (Saddam) has violated his probation by failing to voluntarily give up him weapons.

Why is it so hard for so many diplomats to realize that this is a simple matter of law enforcement? Why should Saddam be treated any differently than any common street thug in their own country? The principle is the same, only the scale is different.

Without enforcement, there is no law.
