So you think guys like Al Capone should have never been charged for tax evasion becuase it was the only thing that the government could PROVE that he did wrong...

Or are you saying that Sadaam shouldn't have been executed for ordering the murders of 148 (I'm sure he's ordered more)??

Despite all of our views on what real "justice" is... thousands upon thousands of criminals walk the streets every year because a prosecution lawyer could not come up with "sufficient" evidence to PROVE them guilty of the crimes they were charged with... Sadaam was a dictator in the very same light that Hitler was... No one cries for Hitler. Just because the crimes against humanity that Hitler committed were on a larger scale doesn't make the crimes that Sadaam comitted that much less grotesque...

He's dead... It doesn't really matter to me whether he's rotting in a jail cell or not but the one thing I'm sure we all can agree on is: He's dead...
