On Saddam execution

Executing Saddam raised lots of questions in my mind and made me think about where is this region is heading.

Ruling Iraq is not easy, 40% of the population are blindly loyal to Iran the enemy while 20% are demanding independency in the north, Iraq is a multi-ethnic country and managing to control them all is a difficult thing to do, but did Saddam had the chance to rule Iraq in democracy and peace and he didn’t? As I don’t see this happening even after 3 years of the American occupation.

Saddam is accused of ‘crimes against humanity’ over decades during his time as president of Iraq but what he was actually found guilty in was Dujail incident where less than 200 people died, but taking into consideration the controversy around Saddam and the whole buzz around him is this everything? Are we happy that “justice” was implemented by those who are killing thousands of Iraqis?

Iraq achieved victory in the war against Iran, then occupied Kuwait which brought disasters on Iraq, starting with gulf war in 1990, the 13 years siege and ending with a bloody American/International occupation in 2003 which was led by a wrong-fully motive, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, while on the other hand Iran has a declared nuclear program and yet is only punched with minor sanctions.

But if Iran is announcing the news that it has the Nuke while Iraq never did and never had any nuclear weapons, then why Iraq was target over those years? Does occupying Kuwait deserve the destruction happened to Iraq over 16 years and even more to come?

  2. for me occupying Kuwait deserve the destruction happened to Iraq over 16 years and even more to come.

    I lived there, I saw what happened.. My childhood, that’s full of weapons and shit. My birthday that my parents couldn’t afford bread to serve in.

    In my own opinion. he deserves worse!

    W Allah La yer7amoh..

  3. Thanx Amr.

    Moey, if he deserves to be punished for his crimes, what about the others? Do you believe that USA is concerned about us dieing or suffering.

  4. samer.. what about Pal and Isreal? who was the only one who faced israel?
    about kuwait, i think the UN has offered to pay kuwaitis more than they deserves and all that money came from iraq.. and all people here know that all jo/pal/ku GOT TOOOO MUCH MONEY more than they could gain in 1000 years of working!

  5. Well Amr he was a real support for Palestinians, he strike Tel Aviv, supported families who lost their sons and refused all peace crap with Israel. He did lots of good things in my opinion like the wall he built against the greedy Iran which is still planning to occupy this region and destroy it.

    My dear friend Saddam don’t deserve this, in this post I was trying to raise few questions that I couldn’t find answers, does he & Iraq really deserve this?

  6. yes,, and i do respect moeys view and am sorry fro what happened for him and his family: http://www.moeys.net/2006/12/31/what-grinds-my-gears

    but really saddam was our heal in M.E.N.A
    alla yer7amo

  7. Samer,

    I have to say I’m with you on this one. I’m not sure there was ever an upside, for Saddam or Iraq. I can’t presume to have any idea of the pain and destruction caused by Saddam or by my erstwhile countrymen in the name of fighting him. What I do know is that one life was too many in the name of such an ill-fated, ill-advised, ill-considered “war”. While I suspect that Saddam indeed deserved the death penalty (he certainly would have gotten it in the US in the States that allow it), I think the timing stinks, the methods used are abhorrent, and no one has come out the winner. I’m afraid that Iran will, indeed, end up with much greater sway than is advisable. Those who hail this as a victory may find in it a long-term defeat. I know that both the war and this execution cause me great embarassment. Moey, sorry for your family’s woes in Kuwait. I had a good friend in the same situation until the company she was working for got her into school in the US. But, bottom line, the American administration couldn’t care less how many Arabs die nor how much suffering occurs. Their biggest concern is that the number of dead soldiers just reached the number of dead in the WTC bombings. How abyssmally ridiculous is that? The number of Iraqis who have died and been harmed in this is unconscionable. I’m not sure how the country will be held together (or if it will be) and that is definitely a cause for concern while living just next door.

  8. Thank you MommaBean for the comment, unfortunately the US is destroying its own image in the Middle East and probably in the whole world; personally I don’t have anything against the Americans as a nation but what can you tell a whole generation of Iraqis, Palestinians and Lebanese lost their families and saw their countries being destroyed by the US and Israel which is supported by USA.

    And you hear a lot about top officials in the US administration such as possess and operating weapons factories and keeping the US involved in wars is for their own benefit, I don’t know if this is true, but if it is true then I don’t believe that the American administration do care about soldiers dieing in Iraq or in any other place in the world.

    And I agree with you on calling it a long-term defeat, unfortunately we don’t look far ahead.

  9. Samer,

    Thanks for the link bro.

    Peace

  10. Samer, Unfortunately, human nature is not to view long term anything. Oh, and I did not mean to imply an ACTUAL caring about dead American boys on the part of the Administration, but rather a public caring. In other words, they have to show that face to the world, and particularly the American public who DO care. I wish when I was in the US I could ahve gotten once of the “In the Ditch with Cindy” shirts. Not sure how much you heard over here about the Mom whose son was killed in Iraq who camped outside Mr. Shrub’s ranch and gave him what for! She was angry (okay really really really enraged) that he was using ehr son’s name to spur his public opnion campaign. That’s the only use he has for our boys who shouldn’t be there killing people and shouldn’t be there dying.

    Oh, and unfortunately, the Iraqi generations fo today have every right to think what I know they will. Hopefully in the long term, they will come to understand that just as the new (or old) Iraq administration’s views don’t represent their own, so the American administration’s views don’t reprensent most Americans. But, that comes with age, wisdom, and maturity, I’m afraid…

  11. Yea MommaBean I heard about that lady and I guess she was arrested or harassed by the government or something, I’m really sorry for her and for every mother lost her son in war, I’m even sorry for those boys who found their selves in the middle of an endless violence that they have anything to do with, its either they are killed or become killers, and even more commit suicide.

    I know that the American public are totally against the cruelty and hustle happening by US troops, but I guess they are being dominated and brainwashed by the media which delivers another face of the truth to the Americans.

  12. “for me occupying Kuwait deserve the destruction happened to Iraq over 16 years and even more to come.”

    How can you wish destruction on Iraq and its people because of a decision of a non-democratic leader like Saddam to invade Kuwait while you defend the actions of the americans who murdered directly or indirectly tens of thousands of innocents in Iraq, lebanon, palestine with the democratic blessings of their voters? twice?

    Moey you are a deeply troubled human being.

  13. I saw the debate around Saddam took another direction that I am not satisfied with.
    The issue here is not Saddam as much as an ARAB MAN was killed under our noses with the protection and blessing of the Americans.
    The catastrophe is that some of us are looking to the wrong direction; such act should combine us together in the same raw since the enemy has pronounced his agenda.

  14. Alami I agree with you, the thing is are we really happy that what they call “justice” has been applied by who killed thousands of Iraqis and destroyed the country?

    And Alami pleas let not criticize each other pleas.

    anas I agree with you this should unite us, but most importantly we need to identify our enemies; Iran, Israel and the US in addition to UK & Australia are the only countries welcomed this execution, this should make us think twice.

    Who is benefiting of this situation and who is actually kill and destroy Iraq, this video shows a little bit of the truth of the dirty role that Iran has in Iraq that is as dirty and ugly as USA, Israel & their allies have in Iraq.

  15. happy new year man :d
    for sadam husein… i cant say anything or comment ma eli hay elshaglat.. but i can tell there was somthing weird, but at end his execution is a justice @ least for my view..

  16. Happy New Year wedad and thanks for the comment, if it was the justice then many others should be eliminated as well. He was found guilty in killing 148 people but what about who is killing hundreds of thousands.

    Believe me we need to think more, Saddam was a hero in my opinion and he will remain a hero for all of us, just think of countries who welcomed his execution and you will recognize our enemies.

  17. justice will done in god’s time samer………. god is working with all of these people.. just in the right to show his glory not for somethign else :D
    and for saddam a hero then every person kill bad people im sure the people he killed not all of them bad maybe just 2%
    and for the countries………….. beleive me its just coz they are scared… and its better for us. bala ma ne3la2 u y7oto 3inhom 3lina…

  18. hi all … what all of u have said and u wil say will not change anything saddam will not come back to life and our problem will be solved ,,, i will say in brief :
    e7na el 3arab bnestahal kondara 3ala rosna w e3dam saddam bhek taw2et bostar 3ala ras kol wa7ad 3arabi w muslim (ya7rom al qesaas fe al ashhor al 7orom, la2 w kaman awal yom al 3eed) saddam husain asad
    ?? ??? ???? ?????? ??? ????? ??? ???? ??? ????? ?? ?????? … ????? ??????? ??? ???? ??? ?????? ” ???? ????? ???? ?????? ?????

    And I liked the last line you wrote, he deserve glory and immortality.

  20. Thank you Mr. Marzouq ,, and i appreciate ur opinion … actualy i like that man but also i admit that he had some faults in his political life but also i have to admit that his good side towards the arab and against israel and USA covered his faults ,, he has the lion heart not like the others if i can say 6ara6eeer USA ..
    anyway w ma 5afeyah kan a3dam w allah yostor …

  21. hylooz,
    you have spoken for me, i really think what you have said is what should be said in such Catastrophe.

  22. Well regarding the faults you were talking about sometimes you have no choice but anyway what happened has happened and I’m glad that many people are still aware of the truth of the current situation in the Middle East.

    O Allah yostor men el jay.
