Justice for Al-Anfal

Saddam Hussein and six others are to face genocide charges over the 1986-89 Anfal campaign, in which Kurdish villages were systematically destroyed by bombing, artillery, and poison gas, and Kurds subjected to execution, mass deportations, and imprisonment in concentration camps. An estimated 180,000 civilians died during this campaign, and hundreds of thousands more were displaced. It's something Saddam should definitely face trial for; we just have to hope that they make a better job of it than the current farce.
