This is in continuation of my earlier positng about how to end the war in Iraq. Now another opportunity has come with the sentencing of Saddam Hussein. Saddam has already appealed to Iraqis to stop fighting. George Bush has won by having Saddam captured and letting him go on trial and convicted and sentenced. But Saddam may have his use still. He is one person the Iraqis are familiar with and if he is recruited to end the war by getting his country-men to unite under a coalition of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds, it would be a fitting retribution for his past sins. And it appears he may be willing to do so. So why not offer a long jail sentence to him and spare his life and get him to lead the revolution to join all Iraqis together. This may also stop any further escalation of violence if Saddam is executed. Till his fate is decided his presence would be a thorn in America's side and they may as well have a bargain with him to get him to do something to repair the Iraqi society.
George Bush has proved that the end justifies the means by invading Iraq unjustifiably and with out any valid reason. He can now look at the real end which is bringing peace to Iraq and get America out of a mess, and use Saddam for the same.
May be the United Nations or the new Congress/Senate dominated by the Democrats can look at this suggestion.
Will they?
