Behold the Tyrant prostrate, and Rome is saved again!
So it was said by an ancient poet at the bloody demise of one of Rome’s most lecherous and brutal emperors. Such must be the feelings amongst the innocent in Iraq today.
Thank God the American justice system wasn’t at work in Iraq…the ACLU would be appealing the death sentence of Saddam, some Clinton appointee podunk district judge would be issuing a stay, and a team of GHW Bush appointed Republican judges on the Circuit Court, hungry for post-retirement adulation of the New York Times, would be ruling the whole trial unconstitutional. Then Justice Kennedy writing for a 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court, pronouncing the ‘deeply felt values’ found in the penumbra of some sliver of some shadow of an unwritten amendment would uphold the Circuit Court because the soldiers who captured Mr. Saddam Hussein for got to read him his Miranda rights in colloquial Mesopotamian Arabic.
