Charles Krauthammer: Man for a Glass Booth

"This has become a platform for Saddam to show himself as a caged lion when really he was a mouse in a hole," said Vice President Ghazi Yawar. "I don't know who is the genius who is producing this farce. It's a political process. It's a comedy show."

This is very hard to assess, in terms of what is right and what is wrong. The essay accurately portrays the process as creating a stage from which the monster favorably impresses ingorant and weak-minded people. Yet what other way is there to show that justice is occuring, and how to carry it out? It may very well be impossible to PROVE that a government leader has committed such crimes. We should remember that it is always harder to create and impliment a just and constructive society than it is to destroy order and rule by brute force.
