Dems major supporter (Saddam) arrested: Next steps

The Democrats will not be at a loss for things to criticize Bush for--the economy, Bush's assault on science, &c.

One argument in favor of an international, rather than an Iraqi, trial for Saddam is that there's no way anyone can seriously claim that the trial is merely an American puppetry.

Which economy is that?

If you mean the explosion after Bush's speech, CNN just stated that it was an accident. Ammo fired into the air landed on the back of a truck carrying gas.

I know when I posted it was being reported as an attack. So we have to wait and see what happens (or in my case take note of every attack between now and the 14th of feb).

Yeah they were all calling it an attack at first. I just happened to be watching to see if there were any more when they announced this one wasn't.

As for future attacks I have a mixed thought on those. I can see them declining given people being less reluctant now to rat them out since there's no way Saddam is coming back into power.

I can see them increasing but primarily from outside sources. so it'll be equally important to identify the people involved.
 
Listening to NPR, the Dems have already picked their first bed-wetting issues:


- Let's be outraged that there's no world court to try him, and no other court is legitimate.
- The Iraqi people will feel shame that the myth of their nationalism is gone.
- Although the war was objectively right, any victory is invalid because it was "wrongly" sold to us.
- US out, UN in. (I'm sure our troops would love to wear baby-blue berets and ride around in snow-white APCs, taking their orders in French.)


Fortunately, it's a new nation that's judging the left. So let them moan all they like.
 
Unfortunately, I don't think any democrat pres candidate is going to suggest the UN try Saddam due to the embarassment over the trial of a certain nasty guy in the balkans.

. . . Personally, my vote against Mr. Bush will be based on his anti-environmental policies, his attacks on the separation of church and state, his blatant corruption in doling out Iraq contracts to Haliburton without competitive bids, his running up the national debt to new record highs, and his general stupidity rather than on the question of whether or not he was able to capture Saddam.

I would hope this is the attitude of all sensible voters. The existence or nonexistence of Saddam Hussein hasn't figured much in the democrats' "rhetoric" because it is of little significance compared with the damage the Bushies are doing to the U.S.
