War Criminal Still at Large

This morning Saddam Hussein was hanged. Politaholic does not want to rejoice in anyone's death, but it is hard to feel much sympathy for someone who has clearly committed such monstrous crimes. Yet the trial was a farce and if the Americans - the idea that the Iraq puppet regime is acting independently is ludicrous - believe this will turn things around for them then they are crazy. It says everything that the hangmen - and not Saddam - wore masks.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

Some weeks ago Pinochet died peacefully in his bed, much lamented by his friend Thatcher.

Henry Kissinger is still at large.
