Saddam Hussein has supposedly confessed to crimes during his regime - including executions - and according to the Iraqi President Jalal Talabani he deserves to die. Mr Talabani told Iraqi state TV a judge "was able to extract confessions" from the ousted leader. "Saddam deserves a death sentence 20 times a day because he tried to assassinate me 20 times," he said.
These comments may all be very justifiable because Mr Talabani has been through much suffering, but unless he wants a repeat version, if only of a different kind, of injustice and fear, then he will keep to a proper system of law. Legal redress should be based on justice and not revenge. Revenge always has a nasty habit of coming back to haunt us in later years!
