Nuremberg and its

As you know, Tareq Aziz, the former number two in the Rais old Saddam Hussein, was recently sentenced to hang by a court in Baghdad. The great efforts made by the ridiculous and serve the Iraqi authorities have not prevented some of those who have eyes to see the veil of Maya hypocrisy and see the real motives eminently political, of the award. But beyond these obvious superfluous, should focus on what is undoubtedly the appearance of the whole thing very worthy, the fact is, that once again the winners will have assumed the right to judge the vanquished. This trend is not in itself new, but rooted in little more than sixty years ago, and more specifically in the pews of Nuremberg, where representatives of the courts victorious powers of World War II began its "expertise" in the service their superiors to "explore" the responsibility of the vanquished and arbitrarily decide the fates. As happens in every trial ruling already written respecting, honoring the mob to Nuremberg lawyers who were "on the right side" had the temerity to suggest "to the proper authorities" to decree the establishment of ad hoc criminal offenses, punishable with retroactive effect, and to steal their defendants for evaluation by the same court, by themselves wanted and financed, thus undermining any slightest credibility and legitimacy. To fill (albeit partially) the chasm created by the shameful and deafening silence reserved for the affair by "intellectuals" of the time, took off his timely and authoritative voice of Benedetto Croce, who in a famous speech to the Italian Parliament in July 1947 said "worrying signs of spiritual turmoil are the present day (you even have the courage to admit it) the courts without any basis in law, that the winner has set up to judge, condemn and hang under the names of war criminals, politicians and generals of the conquered peoples, leaving the difference in practice, free from hypocrisy, to a time not giving won the district or any of their men and they require delivery to put them to death, continuing and concluding with this war. "parallel to the acute and relevant criticisms at the time by the Cross, went everywhere creeping suspicion that the Winners of titles not available at all to judge the vanquished. He wanted (and still want) truly believe that the United States, USSR and Great Britain had not been stained with many of the same crimes for which they were convicted of the Nazi? History made large span (the bombing of civilians in Dresden and Hamburg, "wanton destruction", etc..) Regarding this matter. But leave of Nuremberg and coming to current issues, we need to ask about the real stuff that winners are made of today, considering that the urge to try those losers no signs of setbacks. After the fall of the USSR and the establishment of unipolarity, international law has suffered an even more marked distortion and was reduced to nothing more than real military arm of the United States, who use it exclusively in times where its actions coincide with their goals politicians, but that does not recognize any legitimacy when it is subjected to American military or political opinion. Thus, Milosevic, Karadzic and Hussein have been or will be processed as any American or English or Italian, whatever the atrocities carried out (and I have made many) appeared in the halls of "justice" in The Hague, Carla Del without any Bridge staged no hysterical rag clothes. In the end, the only certainty that emerges from this murky affair is that in many courts of "justice" imposed around the world (The Hague, Baghdad, etc..) "have exchanged "the" luck "to the infinitely less respectable Uncle Sam, and Tareq Aziz, after Saddam Hussein (whose hanging has been described by Bush as a "milestone on the path of democracy"), it is the last of the scapegoats, the last piece of meat to be sacrificed ' altar of imperialism and brutal murderess adorned as usual but this time with educated and attractive trappings of humanitarianism, the opium of the people on which forges the unfortunate contemporary zeitgeist.
