No doubt about it: the fix was in at Saddam's trial. Why else was he tried only for his murders at Dujail? What about Halabja? What about nearly a million other murders? It is quite clear that the puppet government in Iraq agreed to try Saddam only on these narrow charges because they--unlike so much of Saddam's evil--did not implicate American leaders, like Reagan and Bush's father, the former president.
Saddam deserved his death, but he should have been completely debriefed prior to it. Once all the information was out, GW should have shared a place on Saddam's scaffold, with his own special trap door under his feet.
One more thing: Bastard though he was, Saddam went to his doom like a man. I very much doubt GWB would do the same.
