It's not a dilemma at all, unless you buy into the notion that it should be a dilemma. Hand him over to the Iraqis. Let the Iraqis try and execute him. Let the rest of world pound sand.

Well said carranza, i agree with everything you say here, and in following posts Bush announced the correct decision imho - clearly iraquis have the more immediate, and probably greater, claim to try this creature .... only caveat there, is what legitimacy a US-installed iraqui government will be perceived as having ..... perceived among the Rest of Us to a degree yes, but more important how it is perceived among iraquis As for the death penalty, that too is properly an iraqui decision .... you and i and the great majority of the Rest of Us would encourage them to look beyond such a barbaric practise, perhaps consider the possibilities of centreing a Museum of Recent History around his tempered-glass cell, while he is being shown 24/7 video of his crimes, and treated physically in strictly humane manner, given ample medical care, dog food and water et cetera ..... but this is a judgment for a court representative of the iraqui people to make, not anyone else There is a place for world courts i think - when fellow nationals of a criminal are either unwilling or unable to prosecute, and/or when his crimes have been mostly against international parties .... none of this is the case with Hussein
