Iraq Plans Inquiry Into Hussein Execution

I won't argue that the execution was handled poorly, very unorganized, spiteful, etc. But that was their doing. Only champs could spin this story into hating his country even more.

Your continual namecalling aside, the Iraqi government did, indeed, step up. They tried, sentenced and carried out justice upon Saddam Hussein without our assistance.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was the in order for the execution to occur, it had to be signed off by the unity government president, Jalal Taliban, a Kurdi. Talibani refused to sign the order, wanting Saddam tried for crimes against the Kurdish people, but the Shia, under the supervision of al-Malaki ignored Iraq's own Constitution and took the opportunity to hang Saddam anyway. In your opinion, this was an example of the Iraqi government "stepping up" and "carrying out justice"? Ignoring the very laws the the unity government set forth to exact revenge is an example of success of the government?
