Regarding Chemical Ali's trial and verdict- The warior tradition continues with the battlefield victor determining how the vanquished is tried and punished. Even though this man without a thought is a despicable killer but somehow they (Saddam's regime) were provided (again knowingly without a thought) the means and know how to kill so many innocent people in such a savage and cowardly way. We know that they would not be able to do this on their own. Much like the states that use cluster and chemical bombs to inflict maximum direct and collateral casualty.

I suspect we in the west will never find out "rest of the story" about who knew what and when until there is another victor sometime in the future that will try and punish the vanquished!!

This is has been the legacy of our shameful humanity -- With this in play who cares about the greenhouse gases -- I sure don't.
