The following bit of irony from Blogs for Bush.

Saddam Going to Trial
In as few as ten days, according to this news story:
“BAGHDAD — In fewer than 10 days, Saddam Hussein will stand in the especially built courtroom where he will face the families of those he killed.”
“A source close to the Iraqi Special Tribunal said yesterday that the much-feared dictator and seven of his underlings will be brought before a five-judge panel Oct. 19 to answer to charges of crimes against humanity.”
Of course, this is yet more evidence of the complete failure of the liberation of Iraq – just as in the formation of an interim government, the first democratic election, the writing of the new constitution and the upcoming ratification vote on same, the trial of Saddam is simply more proof – as if any more was needed – that the attempt to spread liberty and rule of law in the middle east just can’t work.
It just doesn’t work, don’t you see? The Iraqi’s will simply fall into sectarian civil war the moment Saddam’s stabilizing regime is removed. Furthermore, the Arab/Moslem peoples are just unsuited for democracy…they’ll probably vote in nothing but Islamic fanatics the first chance they get. And you just know that we’ll never get nearly 200,000 Iraqi’s to volunteer for the military and police forces…and what we do in Iraq will certainly make the Syrian regime even more unwilling to withdraw from Lebanon…and God only knows what Libya is doing on it’s WMD program after what we did in Iraq…
The liberation of Iraq – a total failure which has made everything worse.
