Saddam Hussein is dead - Page 13

This is from another site I thought it was pretty good.

Quote:

Apparently, there is no end to Western hypocrisy. Saddam was a monster, to be sure. But by all means, let's forget his most heinous crimes (such as the Iran-Iraq war) which were encouraged and supported by Western powers, . Not only do we not condemn him for those crimes, because God forbid that would bring American saintliness and purity into serious question, but we also completely ignore them, as if they never happened. Instead, we hand over his sham trial and mockery of an execution to the same criminal masterminds who created this monster and who are, as he was being hanged, ravaging what was left of his country, as they remain safely ensconsed within the Green Zone, preaching about a new, democratic Iraq, and other such hallucinations. Now, I'm not denying that Saddam was evil (but not any more evil than Western war criminals, of which there is an abundant supply), but at least he kept his country unified. Iraq, in its heyday, was the most developed of all the Arab countries in the Middle East in terms of education, defense, social services etc, etc. And whatever one might say, it was the most democratic. Even under the mostrous 10-year U.S-led genocidal sanctions, Saddam kept his country from slipping into pure anarchy. Plus, of course, he pretty much told the West to go straight to hell, as he stood by and supported the Palestinians against the illegitimate Zionist entity. No one, except the truly maniacal and insane can claim that Iraq is infinitely better now than it was under his rule. But apart from this charade, has it escaped everyone's notice that he was hanged on Eid-al-Adha, a Muslim festival commemorating Abraham almost sacrificing his son to God before God forgave him? In essence, this festival is one that celebrates forgiveness. In memory of that near-sacrifice, every Muslim family has to sacrifice a lamb and feast on it, as well as distribute a portion of the meat to the poor and needy. Of course, the irony is ridiculoulsly obvious. While Muslims lead the sacrificial lamb to the slaughter, Saddam is being led to the gallows to be hanged. The mountain of insults added to the decades of injury inflicted on the Muslim world by the West just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Shameless does not even begin to describe this humiliating, monstrous gesture!!! Furthermore, while retired war criminals such as Gerald Ford and Pinochet die of old age and natural causes, Saddam is tried by a discredited government and hanged as one of the most notorious war criminals of the 20th century. I'm sure the New York Times had a field day gleefully recording every minute detail of this grotesque farce. On top of all of this, they cynically hang him on one of the holiest events in the Muslim calendar, as if to say to the Muslims, "we won't even let you enjoy this." But he had the last laugh, as he stoically marched to the gallows like a martyr, and for all his atrocities, this is how he will be remembered. This is truly a clash of civilizations. Let it not be said otherwise...

I don't think that is what he is saying at all. He is saying that he finds it morally reprihensible that America would try and wipe its hands clean of everything it did in the middle east by demonizing Saddam Hussein.

I'm an ends justify the means guy, and I really don't care that Hussein is dead, because honestly, the American government, yes, does fund foreign wars, but we don't fund foreign genocide. I'm glad he's dead, and I think Iraq will be better off for it.

People like him are the ones who ask why we would only depose Hussein, and why not people like Stalin, but also ask why we think we have the responsibility to change regime. They seem mad when we do it, but mad when we don't.

This author's opinions were certainly well written, but I think not adequately grounded in the facts concerning the greater political context that which it is a part.

um... well i don't rele care if he died or not, it has nothing to do with me, but i don't think it helped stop terrorism, when a person does something terrorrist-like he/she knows he/she might die, so it didn't change much, except that one more person died... who cares?

they didnt kill him out of the purpose to stop terrorizm only,
the fact some odd decades ago, he's commit national crimes, like the slaughter of villages and whatnot, terrorism was the least of his crimes.
