I'd argue, however, that if our asylum/deportation/immigration system had done its job with proper diligence the first time, there would neither be the question of his rights (as he has children in the UK now), nor the tragedy of the death he is guilty of causing.

Indeed, though the problem with that was that when Saddam was everyones friend you couldn't really deport a Kurd, thenwhen Saddam was no longer everyones friend you still couldn't really deport a Kurd, after Saddam was gone the situation was so screwed that you couldn't really deport anyone to Iraq.
So even if the asylum system had been doing its job with proper diligence it couldn't really have done anything much.
