-- James A. Donald:
So in your version of reality, the Iraqi people were happily enjoying socialism, loving the socialism this benevolent dictator Kassem provided to them and then this evil capitalistic CIA agent, Saddam, took it all away from them.
If that is what happened, what is your objection then to him being given to Iraqi people for execution? Why are you calling for him to be released, or to be given to his fellow tyrants who run the Hague court, who certainly will not execute him, probably will not imprison him for very long, and might well exonerate him?

You are apparently so wrapped up in seeing this in some pre-conceived way, as to not grasp the obvious, literal meaning of what you read. Kassem was a pro-arab nationalist, who nationalized (as in seized, without compensation) formerly foreign corporate oil interests. Kassem was ANTI-western, anti-American, do you get it?
Your story is inconsistent. You tell us Saddam was a capitalistic CIA agent -- so therefore we should not let the Iraqis hang him. Huh? Saddam also was and is socialist, anti western, anti american, seized stuff without compensation etc, which is presumably why you are backing him today -- and which makes the tale that he was a CIA "creation" unbelievable.
You can, in your ignorance, ignore the well established and documented history of covert CIA operations
From time to time old archives of the CIA are opened, and usually conspicuously fail to confirm these tales -- these tales all being variants of one single tale -- that wherever Soviet aligned tyrants had trouble with each other or with
Your "history" comes for the most part from notorious KGB agents, for example John Pilger. those they subjugated, it was all the CIA's doing.
I also don't understand your contempt of the ICC Hague
Consider the trial of Milosevic. Either the Hague is deliberately trying to get him off, or they are idiots. Most likely idiots. Plus if the Hague should ever get to exercise real power, which its present performance makes unlikely, we would have a world government, which would probably decide the entire American population to be war criminals and send everyone to the camps. --digsig James A.
