Possible, but the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt, a former (conservative) Prime Minister of Sweden with extensive foreign contacts today in public claimed, "That in spite of the verdict against Saddam we stay with our stance that we are fully against capital punishment". I agree, and I know we differ here. A matter of personal conviction and nothing else. I just have a problem with putting that noose around the neck of even the worst humans even with the law in the hand. A very emotional matter with me, admit to that. Hey, I would prefer having Saddam put away for life, no martyr, no hanging joy. That Bagdad thing is nothing but a "mini" Nuremberg repeated and IMO that's not worth repeating. Stalin was right: "Why don't we just shoot those guys and get over and done with it?". The outcome was understood anyway. Taro
