Originally posted by Desdicado: Well that's good Magik, thanks for clarifying that, I'm glad he ain't there, As for Tariq aziz, I didn't know taunting the US invoked an automatic death penalty, I'd better watch what I say now hadn't I, it might be me next!. My main point was that what gives the US the right to say who lives and who dies?. That's what I'm getting at, if they tortured or killed folks, then fine they deserve to be punished, but after trial. And I don't want any innocent people to be killed by either side.

The US wants the Card People to brought in FOR trial. We don't want them butchered. It's much better for all concerned that they be tried in a court of law. IMO, an Iraqi Court of Law. After all the Iraqi people are the ones that suffered under the unjust rule of the Baathist Party and Saddam Hussein.

As for Tariq Aziz, he was one of the first and most principle backers of Saddam. He was not some simple bureaucrat just doing his job as you wish to believe. How ridiculous to even suggest that he was anything else! His hands were just as dirty has Saddam. Jeez, I can just imagine what you thought of Herr Goebbels of Nazi Germany fame!

Also, I'd like to add that this little war didn't just involve the US, but you British, as well as Aussies and Poles and by some accounts Canadians as well. So don't just poke figures at us, but your on government as well.
