It is remarkable that Saddam has been sentenced for a crime he committed in 1982, at a time when the USA was more than eager to provide support to Saddam Hussein's regime and was complicit in some of his crimes. As usual, this fact has not even been mentioned by our amnesiac media. Donald Rumsfeld, the incarnation of this administration's moral bankruptcy, went to Baghdad shaking hands with Saddam, on December 20, 1983 (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/). At that time, Rumsfeld knew that Saddam was a dangerous dictator (contrary to 2003, when he wasn't dangerous any more). He knew about the 1982 massacre that has now been recognized as a "crime against humanity". Donald Rumsfeld knew that Saddam had ordered the use of chemical weapons against Iran in breach of the Geneva conventions (contrary to 2003, when Rumsfeld knew exactly that there were no chemical weapons). And he went to Baghdad in 1983, shaking hands with Saddam Hussein, offering him the support of the United States. That's the story that will be told in the history book.

[...] Blue Crab Boulevard — “Unlike many of his victims, Saddam Hussein received a trial under the laws of Iraq and has been convicted and sentenced to be hanged.” Don’t Go Into The Light — “A major milestone in Iraqi history is reached as its most barbaric and murderous leader receives justice – Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to hang by the neck until dead for his crimes against humanity. He deserves worse, IMO.” Stop The ACLU — “Iâ€™m sure the left will question the timing. Meanwhile the demons are sharpening their pitchforks and preparing a special hot spot in hell for this evil former dictator.” Hot Air — “Dujailâ€™s the tip of the iceberg, one notorious incident for which they had good evidence. The crimes against the Kurds have yet to be punished. But thereâ€™s small satisfaction, at least, in some of them having gotten to face the bastard down in court.” Patterico’s Pontifications — “The Saddam Hussein verdict is about to come down, so itâ€™s naturally time for the L.A. Times to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the court that tried him.” Ankle Biting Pundits — “When you vote on Tuesday, try to remember that Saddam Hussein would not be on trial for war crimes if we had listened to the Democrats.” Iowa Voice — “I’ll be honest, I think he’s getting what he deserves. But I have no idea what’s going to happen in Iraq because of this verdict. Could be that all hell breaks loose, or it could be that nothing much happens. I simply don’t know. But we should know rather soon, I would think.” Jo’s Cafe — “A monster has been judged â€¦ now lets hope that the Iraq government has more backbone than ours and hangs this monster in front of the whole country.” Pajamas Media — Livebloged with tons of links. Leaning Straight Up — “Somewhere lost in the partisan bickering we lost sight of the reality of who and what he was. [...]

Saddam: “Allahu akbar!”…

That Iraqi “tradition” of firing AK-47s skyward in a “gesture of celebration” has to go. Country folks in Alabama used to do that on New Year’s Eve. Then we discovered cheap Chinese fireworks — much better….
