Saddam In Court

Saddam is back in a Baghdad court again today, being charged with genocide for his alleged ordering of the attacks in the 1980's on the Kurds. Prosecutors say the attacks left more than 182,000 ethnic Kurds dead or missing.

Wow. Genocide. What a mind-blowing thing for someone to be in a courtroom for. "You're being accused of trying to wipe out an entire ethnicity." There's not much worse a crime you can charge someone with, unless it was like for blowing up the entire earth. What would the bail for a genocide case be? Like 50 billion dollars?
