Saddam was tried in an American Federal court?!

I didn’t say American - I said civilian. In lieu of having any familiarity with Iraqi jurisprudence, I’m assuming their civilian courts are similar to ours. Besides, I think his trial might be less applicable if he had been tried in an American Federal court. Saddam wasn’t renowned for terrorizing American civilians - he was renowned for terrorizing his own civilians. As such, trying Saddam in an American Federal court seems about as appropriate as trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a Swiss court or a French court.
