Death Sentence to Saddam Hussain

[dahiyarules]

You read too many conspiracy theories web sites mate ........ grow out of the bubble ........ life is not black and white but GREY

Saddam is cursed for gassing the Kurds ....... Winston Churchill gassed the same Kurds ..... did you know that .... and he is an icon figure in the UK

The winner always (or most of the times) writes the history and thats what we learn about ........... the founding Fahters of America who are quoted everywhere, whenever liberty and justice is mentioned butchered Indians and enslaved blacks ..... but thats never mentioned either

WHY ??? because they were on the winning side ....

So dont judge Saddam from a civilins shoes ... He did was was needed to keep the country safe and united

Small sacrifices have to be made for the greater good ..... and when you are in the seat of power .. you have a different paradigm and set of prorities than a liberal running a conspiracy website.

He will command respect in my eyes.

I have read and have in my posession a book on him written in 2001 by an ex-CIA director ..... even though it was a bit biased .. I am sure this man had a lot of qualities to be admired ....

Every rulers hand are blood stained ..... that comes with teh responsibility to govern ..... Indian Police & Army is killing the Naxals and Militants ...... and its fair ...

For greater good - small sacrifices have to be made ....... and the greater good can only be discerned by the one in a position to do so ...

Kharub Yaar!

I totally agree that Saddam's killing was a political move.

Infact, I dont know if you have seen the bootleg cellphone video of his execution. The execution room was full of Shiite extremists. Even one of the executioners was yelling long live Muqtada Al-Sadr (the most anti-US and anti-Saddam person in Iraq at the moment).

If anyone has gained the most out of Saddam's execution, it is the pro-Iran shiites who want Iraq to be an extension of Iran.

The US government wanted to showoff the advancement made by the puppet government of Iraq in terms of law and order. It was the case for the first 12hours after the execution. Some media personalities were hailing it as an achievement for Bush.

Then came the bootleg video, which smashed the earlier assumption and disclosed that the execution was a mere act of sectarian revenge.

Ever major media outlet in the US is bashing the US govt to have let this happen. Bush has totally failed to capitalize from the execution. Now the US govt is running for cover by saying that they tried to delay the execution.

Everything else aside, you are free to have your assumptions about Saddam. Trust me, once upon a time even I was in awe of the Dictator's personality. That cigar swigging shotgun holding storngman in the balcony with thousands hailing him was too much to handle for a young mind.

But, the fact that he mercilessly murdered thousands shattered my perception about Saddam. Now, I know that he modeled himself after Stalin. No wonder he made himself look so imperious. With his pictures all over the country and statues at every intersection, he definitely did look larger than life.

What I find really disturbing about your comments is that you find some sacrfices necessary. Do you mean the sacrifices of inocent people? I think that is really sick of you to think like that. Think of just one sacrifice. Let it be your mother, or father or your brother or your sister. If one of these loved ones had to be "sacrificed" to prevent the country form breaking up, would you be fine with it. And by that I dont mean that your loved one would eb sent to battle. I mean they would be slaughtered in front of thousands or maybe raped by the son of the president of India. Would this sacrifice be fine with you.

Saddam did not sacrifice people. He terrorized them by randomly killing their loved ones.

No civilized society must tolerate such tyranny.

The sad part is that what Saddam did is still happening in Iraq. People are being randomly butchered by death squads who work as US trained police forces during the day and work as Muqtada Al Sadrs death squads in the night. Others are just Sunni terrorists, both during day and night.

Just yesterday I read that innocent 12000 Iraqis died in 2006. Which I believe is a highly conservative figure. If on an average 92 people are dying every day, how can the total be only 12000?

But, why should even one person die?

We as Indians must be happy that our sectarian violence is always short lived. Whats happening in Iraq could happen in India too. And it does happen once in a while. Iraq is a lesson to be learned by every society. We must never have ruthless dictators like Saddam. And, we must never allow any sectarian tensions.

What do you say would have happened in India if we were a majority Muslim country? I dont think India would have been a peaceful place. See what they did to the Hindus when Pakistan was formed. They kicked out all of them, one at a time. Our Hindu extremists tried to follow suit, but there were too many Muslims to be kicked out. And then Gandhi had a habit of going on a diet every now and then.

But, I am glad that we dont have the Muslim numbers that other Muslim countries in the world do. Muslims in India understand the figures and behave themselves. And I am fine as long as they keep behaving themselves, or otherwise they will take no time to turn India into another Iraq.

We are very easily swayed by what is potrayed by the media. and dont think about anything in all its pros & Cons.

The history of the arab world is very clear on one thing and that is that everyone first sees his own profit and then the rest of the country. Saddam has not done anything that any other arab would not have done in his place. even in India the countryand society comes after self, Family, Clan, Tribe, Race.
Both Saddam & bush are in the same boat but because of the power of the US Bush will never be tried for war crimes.

Saddam was bad but for his own people he was good.

 

[brainspeak]

i dunno saddam was good or bad while he lived...but after watching the execution clip i can say tht the guy showed no fear nd with the rope around his neck he smiled nd mocked the shouting al sadr supporters....he died like a man
i wonder how george bush nd tony blair might react when they r told tht they r abt to die???

It has been quoted in this thread that he raped women and tortured people.Well, dont know whether or not that was true because I never get to see any proof of that.

I didnt say anything in support of America. I said against Saddam. I talked about only 1 part.
U wud never get the opportunity to see proofs untill u go to Iraq urself n talk to real ppl. I have read some articles by Iraqi ppl (they were slaughtered later by terrorists)
Aftr this i wont comment to anything related to Saddam, as i dont want to give him any publicity

 

[ritu]

i agree with u sumit.

I am shocked by the kind of honors that some members are bestowing upon the tyrant called Saddam Hussein.

Someone calls him a real man. Others call him a lion.

What will be his legacy? He fought two very expesnsive wars that took the Iraqis from being the most prosperous to the most impoverished people in the region.

Who can forget the torture chambers and the rape rooms. Ironically, the execution chamber where Saddam was executed was built by Saddam himself where he executes a number of his adversaries.

He was truly the butcher of Baghdad. The true reason for the demise of Iraq.

Undeniably, he got his just fate.

But, hold on. What I said was just 50 percent of the story.

What has happened is that one tyrant has been replaced by other tyrants.

The bloodthirsty ayatollahs of Iraq are under Iran's leash. Iran is manipulating them to do exactly that same dirty work against the Sunni Iraqis, that Saddam did agains the Shia Iraqis to keep Iran's influece at bay.

What was happening in Iraq while Saddam was around was despicable. What is happening in Iraq after Saddam is just as despicable.

Indians havent lived under Dictatorships. They are just enamoured by oppulent tryants like Saddam, Mao Zedong, Stalin and others. Indians are seduced by the thought of being controlled by a despotic madman who hangs them upside down in cold cinder-block cells and crumbles each and every bone in their body with iron rods. Indians are too excited to have their daughters and mothers abduvted and raped in specially constructed rape rooms, by the unrestrained sons of such dictators.

If some day some despot does attemp to seaze power in India, it will be a cakewalk for him because our people are already having wet dreams of living under a dictatorship. Good Luck.
