Saddam Hussein Executed - Did He Get the Last Laugh?

Dick, Dumbsfeld and Dubya next

(after similar kangaroo court fair trials of course)

There have been very few dictators who have been sentenced by a court set up by their own countrymen (if you discount incidents like Rumania's leader killed by a people's tribunal within hours after being overthrown).
Just if you take the case of Saddam and believe in the death penalty, he was a just candidate for execution.

Hussein was a relic of barbarism, to be sure. He won't be missed.

You're kidding right? The Leftists, Marxists and the Communists will miss him greatly just as they miss past mass murderers like Stalin, Mussolini, Mao and Pol Pot.

Yes, line them up next. Why let these relics of barbarism flourish?

But, I guess, now that the Main Witness is dead, no one will be inquiring too deeply in the role the U.S. govt. played in helping/tolerating the atrocities Saddam committed against the Iranians and the Kurds.

3,000 American lives?! As opposed to 655,000 innocent Iraqi civilians killed in the same time. Yet some people find it more apt to remember today on this fateful today those who raged this illegal war rather then those unfortunate people who suffered because of it! How ironic! No surprise then that I'm just hearing breaking news of the first violence since Saddam's execution (a car bomb explosion some where that's apparently taken at least 15 more lives, innocent ones again, if I'm not wrong).

Sigh.

It is a sad enough thought that a man like Saddam who killed so many of his own and others for no other reason then his defiance ever lived on this planet, but even sadder that so many further innocent lives had to be taken to get the man accountable for his appalling crimes. No sane person could have ever supported Saddam's philosophies or have justified his actions, but such is the erroneous manner in which America and their allies' have handled the matter of Saddam's toppling, that today, around the world, people and governments will debate on whether his execution was justified or not, when it really should have been a no-brainer. This in it self, is something of ironic triumph for Saddam.

Here's an old but interesting article -

The International Criminal Court: the promise of justice

Could not have put it better than comment #5

The execution of former Iraq President Saddam Hussein was the result of a hurried judgement and "injustice borne out of anger".

The capital punishment awarded to him, which should have been reviewed and given up, has made Saddam Hussian a great hero.

If somebody were to point out that hundreds were killed during Saddam's reign, history's answer was that Great King Ashoka became a Buddhist
only after he killed many people during the Kalinga War.

Thousands Innocent Sikhs were slaughtered in 1984 in India in Government sponsored Riots, without any remorse till date.

They could have followed the example set by Alexander the Great, when he did not harm King Porus after annexing his kingdom.

It appears that no Jail in the world could keep and hold him; that's why they were in so much hurry and finally got rid of him by destroying
his body.The Dialogue about Sadam Hussain will continue. The ghost of Sadam will continue to haunt for many years to come.

International opposition to the execution was ignored. The political consequences of this step should have been taken into account,
Saddam's execution could worsen the discord and violence in Iraq.

Middle East Problem will never end.
Sadam or No Sadam.
Alqaida are fast regrouping in Wazirastan,
Taliban is once again taking over in afghanistan.
Paleatine and Hizbula V/s Israel.

Only Saddam was executed on that day and the other two are still awaiting their fate. How come you are making a blanket statement without even have correct facts.

Bush has right to give orders for Saddam's execution? Just because he is PM of USA? No doubt, Saddam deserved to be hanged for the atrocities he committed. Now world needs to be prepared for what is going to come next. Lets not forget the reason for WWars.

Saddam won't be missed! Yup. Trillion Gallons of free petroleum can make one forget his own Daddy, let alone Saddam.
Talk about forgetting and justice....
Nobody is forgetting Bush either. Only if justice catches up with him.

The article ignores the direct involvement of western interests especially US with Saddam. During the Iran- Iraq war when millions perished US backed the war by providing military intelligence to the Saddam regime. Both sides were armed to the hilt by Western arms dealers.No wonder there were no specific charges framed against Saddam in his war against Iran.

Saddam was a faithful ally of western interests until he invaded Kuwait. The points of dispute were historical,namely, territorial wrangling with Kuwait and the controversy that Kuwait was filching oil from Iraq (as the oil pipelines passed through Kuwait). Moreover, Kuwait went back on its promise to bankroll Iraq in its war on Iran.Saddam informed the US ambassador to Iraq of his intention to settle scores with Kuwait. He was led into a trap set by US as he believed he had US approval.The US government got the quesy feeling that he was becoming too big for his shoes. Then he was transformed from the status of a faithful ally of US interests to that of Hitler.
Iraq under Saddam had the Human Development Index of 50 though he crushed dissident activity.Today,Iraq is 126 in HDI with brutal US occupation killing more than half million mostly women and children.The position of Iraqi women was far superior than other Arab countries friendly to US interests.

In a lighter vein there is a joke of workers leaving the factory with wheelbarrrows. The security guards searched the workers and did not find anything stolen. This continued on the second day with the same result! Later on it struck the guards that the workers were stealing the wheelbarrows!The smoke screen of bringing Saddam to justice and liberate the Iraqi people hid the elaborate fraud of liberating the Iraqi people from their oil fields.

I want only to know:

1. Who saw the ghost of Saddam Hussein (identity, age, intellectuel level, ...)

2. How appeared he (as an ordinary person, a ghost, ectoplasm...)

3. Was he standing or floating ?

4. What was he doing (eating, flaning...)

5. Why did not catch him to question him ?

6. How did he disappeared (walking, suddenly...)

...

Thanks
