Prediction on the Trial of Saddam Hussein

The period of gunboat and bazooka diplomacy died a dishonourable death a long, long time ago with Lord Palmerston, Otto Von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler. Today's wars are usually wars of the mind and I hope that nations know today that being the biggest, the richest and the strongest is not an alibi to trample on the less strong, the less rich and the less big...
