To be brutally honest, I don't care whether they did or didn't.
There is no doubt in my mind that Saddam committed dispicable acts which resulted in him being hanged.
I can see no benefit in having kept him alive longer to answer further charges which had the high likelyhood of being found guilty of and resulting in another death sentence.
You can only die once, so what would be the point in sentencing him multiple times?
The only people to benefit from a trial which would bring in representatives of America and Britain, are those poeple who get some sick pleasure from pointing a finger and going nyah nyah, while the international image of the UK and USA was damaged further.
Reagan is dead, so what would be the point in bringing in and cross examining members of the current administration other than to score cheap political points?
