I think VodkaPundit has the best reaction today to France and Germany pleading on behalf of Saddam not getting the death penalty.
How would you react to that little tidbit if you were an Iraqi? What would you say to a couple of governments who'd (a) armed and supported Saddam for decades, and (b) made every effort to prevent him from losing his grip on your country, your family, and your hide--and then presumed to tell you how you ought to deal with him?
Unless you were one of Saddam's former henchmen, I imagine you'd go find the nearest Frenchman or German, and start quoting Dick Cheney. Repeatedly.
Especially in light of all the new WMDs being found in Iraq.
I'd think this would be an excellent opportunity for France to keep quiet.
