I thought he only had two sons and heard that maybe one was with him
He was given the chance to live comfortably in exile- to spend the rest of his days sipping pina colodas on a beach in the Mediterranean-
but now faces certain

Yes, it's can sound amazing, but it's not when you consider that these kind of people are so addictive to the supreme drug : the power.
It was Harald, New, Hassan, me, any more?
The few, the proud, the coalition.
You guys couldn't find it with two hands and a flashlight. Suddenly, the AI Brain Trust has morphed into an elite, bad-ass tracking squad? Oooo.
You'll fly the U.N. flag too, no doubt.
Those of you "curious" what the "international community" would do, I think you got a pretty good preview of it leading up to this war. I wouldn't trust the "international community" (represented by limp diplomats and mush-mouthed procedural wonks) to do much of anything, other than gum up the works, hinder justice and otherwise make a complete mess of things.
Our men and women are doing the job just fine, last I checked.
"Coalition of the few"? Yeah...

Yeah, take the example of Slobo and his buddies.

Best thing would be if he were captured alive. Then we could see how internatinal law could be applied in this case. I wonder why the Coalition would rather want him dead?
simple: it's easier to kill him than to capture him.

Not if you worked in that restaurant. Or lived next door. Or were walking down the street....

Underneath our scandinavian humanitarian softness we kick ass. Deep inside we are still vikings.

If you are referring to the coalition down in Iraq please tell me who is involved down there? I know of only three countries, US GB and Denmark (aka the elephant, the mouse and the flee).
Oh yeah and countries like the philiphines that contributes by giving "the coalition" access to their airspace. Always good to know that if any of our planes can´t find its way it won´t get shot down if it ends up on the other side of the planet

Let's not see how internatinal law could be applied. How much you want to bet that Saddam's lawyer will get him off on a technicality. Or maybe anti-semetic public pressure in France and Germany (et al) will force them to pressure the court to go easy on Saddam. Naw. Rather I think a military court could should try him.
