Errors in the Clemency Pleas for Saddam Hussein

We have heard pleas for Iraq to prevent the execution of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, saying it would worsen sectarian violence in Iraq.

Retaliatory sectarian violence may be the wish of Baathist relics and other troublemakers, but since they were never powerful enough to free Saddam from imprisonment, they are equally powerless to agitate much more sectarian violence than already prevails. Although many with political motives would like to see worsening conditions in Iraq, the opposite is more likely.

We have even heard U.S. lawyers plead for clemency. Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, a member of Saddam's defense team, for one, said the decision Bush makes following an Iraqi court's rejection of Saddam's appeal "will have long-term consequences for the peace and stability of Iraq, and for the rule of law as a means to peace." Wake up, Mr. Clark, the rule of law in the new Iraq does call for Saddam's execution.

Time will prove that Molten Eagle was correct. Contrary to the opinion of a few CIA mis-intelligence analysts, Saddam will never be a martyr for anyone. His execution is a necessity representing his failure, not success, and providing deserved pause, not encouragement, to other despots in his neighborhood.

Mr. Clark, while your feeble defense tactic is all wrong, your summary is absolutely correct:
The decision Bush makes following an Iraqi court's rejection of Saddam's appeal "will have long-term consequences for the peace and stability of Iraq, and for the rule of law as a means to peace." Allah is likely to go along with Saddam's execution, Mr. Clark, and if Allah is willing, infidel lawyers like you are useless spit.
