That aside, it is ridiculous to think that Shiites didn't want him dead. The US didn't need to apply pressure for him to be executed, or to be found guilty.

I guess I can see how you see it that way- I can see it as both. It insults the efforts of the Iraqis and insults their justice system. It insults us as well- as if we are just controlling it all-and it insults them as if they have no ability to govern themselves.

It is also blatantly convenient that many show respect and support for the national soverignty of other nations as long as they are doing something they agree with- but as soon as they do not- well then, they are just US puppets.
