Mark Steyn on Slobo Milosevic, Gen. Clark and Saddam Hussein. Quotable:

Anyone who goes goo-goo at the mention of the words ''international tribunal'' -- i.e., Clark, John Kerry, Howard Dean and the rest of the multilatte multilateralist establishment -- should look at what it boils down to in practice. Even though the court forbade Milosevic and Seselj from actively campaigning in the Serbian election, they somehow managed to. In other words, ''international law'' is unable to enforce its judgments even in its own jailhouse .. This is the justice Clark wants for Saddam Hussein. If he gets his way, Saddam seems a shoo-in for the Iraqi presidential election circa 2009 ..

[But of course] letting dictators swank around the courtroom in a 10-year dinner-theater run of ''Perry Mason'' has nothing to do with justice
