The State in the Dock
Lew Rockwell at LewRockwell.com - Sadam Hussein deserves to be on trial for his crimes. But so does George Bush, and every other leader of state. State workers commit crimes every day. Theft, assault & kidnapping, and mass murder, conveniently renamed taxation, arrest, and war, are their stock in trade. [lew]
If I lived in Iraq right now, I might find myself disgusted at the scene playing out at the Saddam trial. Even if I hated Saddam, I could look out the window and see the explosions, bloodshed, poverty, innocent dead, and blown-up buildings, and note that US tanks are the ones patrolling and shooting and enforcing the chaos. I might further note that the current local government was put there by the conquerors.
