He was ruthless, cruel and paranoid, and responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of Shiites because he was nearly assassinated by a few of them. Being paranoid and ruthless, he inflicted collective punishment, just as the Japanese did in Malaysia and China, the Nazis in Europe and the Israelis in Lebanon and Palestine.<BR/><BR/>But the new Iraqi government, by its dodgy court process, no doubt pushed by the Yanks who wanted Saddam silenced for good, did itself a disservce by manipulating the process towards the expeditious murder of the former dictator.<BR/><BR/>If it had conducted a proper trial which no doubt would have convicted Saddam in an open and transparent manner, and then jailed him for life, how sweet and stateman-like the Iraqi government would now be smelling of.<BR/><BR/>Alas, the Yanks wanted Saddam silenced (before he could spilled embarrassing beans) and the Shiites wanted revenge (an eye for an eye), and the two grubby interests converged, with Saddam's fate predetermined and politically and irrevocably set in concrete.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1167636579988237102007-01-01T15:29:00.000+08:002007-01-01T15:29:00.000+08:00Considering the Shi'a Moslems make up the majority...Considering the Shi'a Moslems make up the majority of the population of Iraq, plenty of them don't have much sympathy for Ol' Sadie. Especially since Sadie's treatment of them while he was Iraqi President was anything but humane.BrightEyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335803957427793437noreply@blogger.com
