Saddam's Three Ring Circus!

The Saddam Hussein trial is turning out just as many of us expected. It has already become a 3-ring circus, complete with clowns.

As soon as Saddam was yanked from that spider hole in the ground, the play began.

For the next few months we will see the play unfold upon the world's stage of the various TV networks all across the globe. Saddam will milk it for everything it’s worth… and then some.

The prancing and preening of his “Defense Council” will be nearly equal to the boisterous braying by the old bull himself, Hussein.

Islamofacist propagandists and the political Left’s propagandists, as well as some brain dead American Leftist propagandist will shovel their own piles of manure onto the heinous crimes of Hussein in an attempt to sell them to the public as though they were French perfume.

The Islamofacists will proclaim the unfairness of the proceedings and will tell the world how the EVIL US is destroying the wonderful legacy of the Great Leader of Iraq. All the while the mainstream media of the world, print and broadcast alike, will lap it up and present it to the world in such a way as to make it seem, as nearly possible as they are able, that Hussein is, in fact, being tried unfairly and should be released and returned to power in Iraq. The palpable fear emanating from the common man, and woman, in Iraq has it’s source in that belief. They fear Hussein will be released.

The trial itself is a farce. It is a necessary farce, however. It is a foregone conclusion that Hussein will be executed at the end of these trials... whenever that may be. But in the meantime, this public spectacle provides a stage from which the political left and the Islamofacists will spew their doctrine of hate for the US and all things democratic and, let us not forget, all things Christian. Any number of us, on the political right, could have written the script for this play. For that is what it is… pure stagecraft.

The trials themselves will serve only to inflame the followers of Hussein and the Islamofacists to even more dread deeds of lawlessness aimed at intensifying fear in the masses of Iraq and the surrounding nations.

The US has played right into their hands.

There is only one way to remove this soapbox from the Islamic extremists and that is to immediately close the court to only those participating in the trials themselves. No cameras, no microphones, and absolutely… no press.

The instant the judge’s gavel dropped the Pandora’s box was opened. There is no way to close it again without damage to the democratic process in Iraq. It would seem that our diplomats have yet to learn there is simply no way to play fair and win in this war. Every extended hand will be pushed aside and the raw hatred, of our Islamic foes for America, will roll right over any effort to be just and merciful.

There is no need for this charade to ever have been forced upon the people of the world.

Justice could have been served quickly, and quietly, and only the body of Mr. Hussein produced for a quiet funeral with only witnesses present to confirm the identity of the deceased.

But no, the magnanimous nature of America has again stirred a hornet’s nest that need not have been disturbed.

Now, the whole world will be subjected to the awful, awful, theatre from the Middle East.

We just never learn… do we?
