in the article ' Saddam will have no trouble finding a lawyer, experts say' you go though a few potential defense strategies but fail to mention any historical context other then what the US government has said to be his wrong doings.

Historical context would include the US involvement in the Kurdish killings: Such as lifting the no-fly zone allowing Saddam and to bomb the Kurdish people that where rebelling because the US instructed them to do so. This is all very well documented Bushes rise up speech, the lifting of the no fly zone, not to mention the continue support of Turkeys bombing of the Kurds with US arms. The US never wanted the Kurdish revolution to successes and documents have been uncovered that say just that. Without historical context and fair treatment of history how can your article be anything but US government propaganda?

More importantly think of the injustice being done to the victims, by only reporting their deaths when at the had of our 'enemies' and ignoring their suffering when the US government is at fault or involved. That is the greatest injustice and it is morally wrong. Especially since we as Americans need to know what our government is doing so we can affect the policy that leads to reduce the support we give for these atrocities.

To classify Saddams wrong doings as completely unique and performed with only "evil-doing" context, is misguided and paints a picture of the US giving a fuck about humanitarian disasters when in fact massive amounts of evidence point to otherwise.

in case you actually do not have the historical context or you are unaware then I have some recommended reading:
