December 11, 2003 -- Iraq's new government established a special tribunal yesterday to try Saddam Hussein in absentia for crimes against humanity - if he is not captured or killed first.

Calling it a great achievement and a historic event in Iraq's history, members of the Governing Council said the tribunal would try Saddam and his key loyalists and associates, many of whom are in U.S. custody, for genocide and war crimes that date back to July 17, 1968.

Anyone who cared about the horrors of the Hussein regime is already on board. I seriously doubt any more info on that score could make either France or Germany blush.

It still shocks me that people can claim that we were wrong to invade. Every day more information comes out about how life is better for Iraqis, and how the events of the past are being rectified. Those who oppose continued allied presence in Iraq should be forced to explain why to this proud people who are dragging themselves up out of the mire of the Ba'athist regime.
