Promoting justice

Just wondering whether it was necessary and justifiable to take the life of former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein. Seems that another dictator, Mr G.Bush Jr, decided that he did not quite like the way Mr Hussein ruled over his country and objected to certain of his practices, so decided to invade the mid-east country and remove  its leader, leaving a trail of collateral damage behind.

Essentially, Mr Hussein was arrested, charged, imprisoned, tried and executed all by foreigners. But who were these foreigners and who sanctioned the process? Was it really legal?

There’s little dispute that Mr Hussein must have been a terrible dictator and committed some terrible things, but was his execution really necessary? Could he not have simply been kept in prison for the term of his natural life? Perhaps he could have even been put to some good use and been ordered to do some sort of hard physical or other labour..

It’s a pity that the international community for law and order could not actually just go peacefully into Iraq, knock on Mr Hussein’s door and present him with a summons to appear at court on a certain date or simply arrest him without any difficulties, in a civil manner, whilst Mr Hussein peacefully complies with all orders and requests and accompanies his captors peacefully and quietly.. Just a thought- maybe in a more ideal world.
