Saddam Trial Begins

The trial of Saddam Hussein began today in Baghdad with charges being heard for the massacre of civilians in Dujail.

Above, little Jafar, sits on his father's lap and holds a photograph of memorial for his grandfather and uncles murdered by Saddam in Dujail, Iraq in 1982. Perhaps our lefty friends could explain to little Jafar or his father why war wasn't the answer... or that weapons inspections would somehow put an end to the genocide.

In Dujail, a protest of families who lost relatives in that massacre. Contradicting the xenophobic ignorance of some lefty commenters, the photo above illustrates the Iraqi habit of carrying framed photographs of honored leaders and memorialized family members.
