Judges and juries are men. There is ALWAYS the possibility of error. There is no perfect justice system- -here or in any other nation on earth. In the US justice system, lots of guilty go free and lots of innocents go to jail in spite of a presumption of their innocence. Overzealous, headline-seeking prosecutors and cops get the innocent convicted all the time. Does any of that mean that SH is not guilty of at least some of the serious crimes he is charged with? Do you believe that? By the way, from the apparent over-eagerness with which the US and Britain invaded Iraq, it seems reasonable to say that Saddam was demonized to justify the invasion of Iraq. Of course he was. That's standard practice to get a nation and its military ready for war. The Japanese and Germans were demonized during WW2 too. So do you think we should have stayed out and let Hitler have Europe and the Japanese Asia for that reason? I am just very curious to know to what extent Saddam was demonized, if that ever occurred at all. If you watched, you could see it happening. What's really amazing is that SH almost cooperated in the process. Now THAT is puzzling. Did he really ever think he had a chance against the US military? Or did his own military lie to him about its capabilities, possibly out of fear of him? You see, I don't swallow everything hook-line-and-sinker the media dole out to the public. "The media" covers a lot of ground in this country. Anybody with a few hundred or a few thousand bucks - and that's a lot of people - can start a website or a newspaper and get their views out.
