Iraqi Courts

The US setup the courts in Iraq, the ones that executed Sadam and are continuing going after Sadam's guard.

One provision in the mandate of the courts was that it could only go after Iraqi citizens; foreigners couldn't be prosecuted for war crimes, or for any offense. US officials and corporations guilty of selling Sadam arms, gas, credits are the ones now occupying the place ready to take Iraq's oil. The last thing they want is to be held accountable for past wrongs.

This is one example of how Power escapes the judgement of history. Very silently. It has gotten really good at hiding it's mechanisms. Americans see Sadam hanging on the news, and believe justice has been served. Any bias in the court system is purely the Iraqis fault, but we can forgive them they are such new democracy.
