  And yes, they know what is best for you, urlLink too . Germany, who, understandably, is hesitant when it comes to state run executions, has called on Iraq to, in a summary of words, be more democratic and re-abolish the death penalty. Okay, when did Germany have anything to do with Iraq? Who are these people again? Let's refer to a nation that actually had more of an impact than Germany in freeing Iraq, Latvia Latvian Foreign Ministry spokesman Rets Plesums said that whatever happens to Saddam after his trial is a matter of concern for Iraq — not the Baltic state.
"We are hoping that the new Iraqi courts will conduct the trial as fairly as possible, but I don't think our government will offer an opinion about what happens to Saddam Hussein," he said. "It's not our business. " Latvia, a recent newcomer also to NATO (news - web sites), ardently backed the U.S.-led invasion and contributed more than 100 soldiers to the coalition after fighting ended last year. At least Latvia sent troops, and still understands the need for self-determination (so odd, that only the former communist counties seem to fully grasp such things).
Oh wait, and then there's Poland Poland, another supporter of the war, offered a similar view. Poland just decided to extend its troop deployment of 2,400 soldiers in Iraq until Dec. 31. "Our reaction is obvious. This is a sovereign decision of an independent court and of the Iraqis themselves," said Boguslaw Majewski, spokesman for Poland's Foreign Ministry. They sent troops too, and are currently responsible for security in a southern district in Iraq. Germany and France - no one needs them.
