... the fact that the Germans made the Holocaust legal.

Posters actually said, "Legal?"

I said, "Yes, Legal."

They obtufased as much as they possibly could, probably because they didn't want to rain on the hang Sadaam bandwagon.

Yet, no matter how "legal" we make this, doesn't make this right. And this doesn't have international sanction - meaning this was not held at the ICJ at the Hague were proceedings for war crimes normally take place.

Why not? Why didn't they take place within the normal international legal framework? Why aren't the same precedents that took down Nazi war criminals, who by the way exercised their lawful duty*, taken with Sadaam? What is the reason?

*The Nazi legal framework made legal to execute Jews, Roma, Gays, dissenters, communists, enemies of the state, etc..
