Saddam: The death of a dictator
Through the bumbling of the U.S.-backed regime, justice becomes revenge, and a despot becomes a martyr.
By Juan Cole [2006-12-30]

  • Shame

    It's all been said by others but, for me:

    1. Saddam is dead - couldn't happen to a worse man.

    2. He should not have been executed - a civilized society does not kill its citizens if it can avoid it. Shame on the likes of Tony Blair who acquiesced to the execution even though it is officially not acceptable in the UK - so it's OK for them but not for us.

    3. The trial was a total farce, orchestrated by the US. He should have been tried by the International Court.

    4. His execution was disgracefully rushed.

    5. No good will come of it.
