The trial of Saddam Hussein has often appeared more like a farce. Instead of bringing closure and healing to his people, it seems to be driving Iraqis further apart.

In the Sunni area of Azamiya, everyone thinks the trial is a joke. Â“ThereÂ’s nothing legal about this trial. ThereÂ’s no legitimacy.Â” The first judge resigned after repeated criticism that he was too soft, the defence team boycotted court after being manhandled and two lawyers have been murdered. Even the British lawyer who trained the judges have concerns about whether the trial is fair.
