Philip Terzian argues the Bush administration seeks regime change in Baghdad and explores options from assassination to exile to capture. He weighs the risks of war, trafficking in exile versus trial, and whether Saddam will face a Nuremberg style tribunal or remain in custody as a mass murderer. The piece notes Milosevic’s fate, Osama bin Laden’s legal complexities, and the ethical limits of postwar justice.
