I disagree it is the wrong term. Too bad it is inflammatory to you.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. The point is the West supplied weapons to
him for use against the Iranians. May be that the Kurd killngs did get out
of hand. I can think of some killings in Waco Texas that got out of hand.
I can think of some Tuskogee syphillis studies that got out of hand. I can
think of some things that got out of hand when Abe Lincoln was killed in
Ford's Theater.
I can think about Darfur and wonder...

The U.S. has no such justification now and had none in reality,before it
invaded and attacked the ones not responsible for 9/11.

Judicial governing body? That is laughable and belies the facts. It seems
to this practitioner of democracy that a tria -body representing the
state-at a Federal level-or local level-has the obligation to be impartial.
This was not the case in -and will not be the case-in Iraq's brand of
Democracy. And was not the case in Iraq v. Saddam.
Saddam was tried by his enemies.
Judged by his enemies.
Executed by his enemies.
Where is the impartiality in such a style of "judicial governing body'?
The real problem in it all is the issue of fairness, which Americans hold
dear, although in reality it does not really exist here in America, either,
because money buys more justice than less money does.
It is a shame but that is a sad fact of this American illusory Democracy.

Some may slam Perkins for joining the Peace Corps back in the day to avoid
Vietnam, but who in the Power establishment-namely the Administration- did
not avoid service and evade Vietnam duty? So, if Dick Cheney says he had
other priorities and Clinton honored a Rhodes Scholarship, then service in
the Peace Corps should not be a bad thing.
BTW, his father-in-law was chief architect for Bechtel and built some cities
in Saudi Arabia.
Currahee!!
