With regard to Saddam. I think allowing the Iraqi's to hold the trial is a bad decision. It could become all mucked up. We should have put him to trial with Iraqi's involved. This would have put forth a reasonable trail, formatted for American's over here to remember just WHO and What Saddam was.....and why we had to remove him from power....Done this way....GWB numbers would have seen a little bump I would expect.
The trial is going to galvanize the Iraqi people as a country, I think it's a brilliant idea to let the Iraqis do it.
