Perhaps, But in order to be tried, you have to commit a crime, and while obviously the atrocities that he committed are exactly that, if the Iraqui law stated at the time that these acts were committed, that the soverign could do as he pleased, a law wasn't necessarily broken. I don't know much if anything about Iraqui Law, hell i don't even know if there is a real legal system. If he is tried in Iraq there could and will be claims from the international community of American manipulation.
