A thought about ‘crimes against humanity’

4 comments January 1st, 2007

Saddam Hussein was executed a few days ago for crimes against humanity. His crimes were apparently for being responsible for the deaths of 148 people who tried to rise up and overthrow him after the first Gulf War.

First, any country which has a bunch of their people try to rise up and overthrow the leading power apparently has the right to try and prevent it. In America, it’s what the FBI tries to ensure doesn’t happen. And I’m sure there have been plenty of groups in the US who have wanted to rise up and overthrow the government… If a country’s leadership tries to prevent internal unrest, is it reasonable that they be charged with crimes against humanity?
