Well if there is no legitimate authority, then state of nature
applies. Give him the justice that Mussolini and Ceasescu got.
Hang him by his feet from a lamp post in central Baghdad for
his victims to use as pinata
But I think we can find a legitimate authority somewhat better
than that. And if we cannot, the mob has more legitimacy than
the Hague.
