U.S. could also be `on trial' BUT BUSH HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE HIS CASE AGAINST SADDAM

Ahead lies Saddam Hussein's trial. In preparing for it, the president's men should keep several incidents in mind. One is the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby as Dallas police paraded him before the cameras.

No matter the demand of the Iraqi Governing Council for custody of Saddam, U.S. forces should detain him. For, should something happen to Saddam, the Arab world will never believe we did not murder him to keep him from testifying.

"There will quickly come, however, a clamor that Saddam be tried at The Hague, or by a U.N. tribunal. The purpose would be to establish the supremacy of international law over a sovereign United States. This must be resisted. America fought this war for U.S. national interests without the aid or benediction of the United Nations. Thus, we decide. Second, Europe has outlawed the death penalty. If Saddam does not deserve it, no one does."

Pat got it right again - America first not the UN.

Pat got one thing wrong. No trial will convince the Arab world that we were justified. They will believe whatever they want to believe, regardless of any amount of evidence to the contrary.

The purpose would be to establish the supremacy of international law over a sovereign United States.

if they ever achieve this supremacy, the socialists will have taken over the world, since they own the international orgnizations.

The Bushies criticize Pat because he is a conservative. Fair trade, smaller government, closed borders, balnced budgets are not objectives of the new Socialist Bush* wing of the party.
