Dude, would someone tell the news morons that capturing Saddam does not justify the whole war? Bush has still fucked foreign relations and foreign policy in some distinctly uncomfortable orifices. Also, still no WMD.

In fact, if this were a US police matter, all evidence would be inadmissible because we didn't follow proper channels to get a "warrant" to go in looking. So, yeah, Saddam's done hideous things and I'm glad that he won't be doing them any more, but the US is hardly the good guy here. We flaunted international law to go to war, but now we're expecting an international tribunal to try Saddam?

I'm sorry, Mr. Bush, but is this the same international law that you refuse to submit yourself to? You have weakened the legitimacy of the institution that you hope will now make you look like the world's savior. And the truly fucked-up thing is that it'll work. I love my country, but its leaders just keep proving to me that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Congratulations on winning the election.
