Saddam - The other side...

Its quite often that a person's lifetimes achievements are nullified by a few words by someone powerful, whom society believes to be true, and more importantly, an authority... Yesterday, 30th Dec 2006, was the day when former Iraq President, Saddam Hussein, was executed, an unfair execution almost fully masterminded by the USA... Of course, in the course of life, we'll here it again, don't know how many times, about who Saddam was... A Dictator, A Tyrant, Someone who ruled Iraq with an Iron fist for over 25 years, someone so cruel that he killed members of his own family, and of course, the alleged crime for which he was executed, the gas-poisoning of 150 shiites when they contemplated rebellion against him... About the first part of the statement, there is no doubt... He was a dictator, and along with Hitler, Mussolini, Fidel Castro and a few others, formed the cream of the dictatorship which characterized the early to middle parts of the 20th century... Saddam can be held wholely responsible for creating a modern and secular Iraq, which, before his time, was too immersed in Religious issues... Even so, Iraq, under Saddam of course was the first Middle-east nation NOT to allow religion interfere with it's foreign policy... He was so much for a secular nation that most of the clerics and religious fanatics, if i might call them that, scampered away to more Islam-Favoring Iran... Saddam always supported India on the Kashmir issue, thus virtually nullifying Pakistan's trump card that it was an Islamic state... According to an article i read on the TOI, the Start of Saddam's downfall began with a huge tactical error he committed by trusting the USA in issues concerning the middle-east... The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait was done only after the USA's ambassador to Iraq gave the clear go-ahead signal... Then the American forces joined in to neutralise Saddam... The following UN sanctions on Iraq thereafter meant Saddam's days as a dictator, were surely numbered...Then came rumours of the Iraqi's hiding huge amounts of WMDs, an unfounded suspicion that made the USA, led by the Scoundrel George Bush, invade Iraq, for NO CONCRETE REASON... This led Saddam to go into hiding Bush, the greedy power-hungry Monster that he is, came in and stripped Iraq of it's very identity... And the former president, about whom this entry is, was finally captured from a hole in Tikrit, by the American forces... And to make matters worse, Saddam was tried before a court, officially recognised only by the USA, and a puppeted Iraq govt, backed by George Bush... Of course, as we should know by now, there were no WMDs found in Iraq.. The only thing the Americans accomplished in this mission was the cold-blooded murder of thousands of Iraqi nationals in their own country... Yet, USA will not admit that they were wrong in the first place, having suspected Saddam of storing WMDs... (which incidentally stands for Weapons of Mass Destruction...)... Of all the other gory and morbid tales we've grown up hearing, in Saddam's dictatorial regime, how many are true, and how many are rumours, just like the WMD fiasco, we don't and will probably never know... But for a former president, who was executed by virtual invaders, in the year 2006, I think we all ought to know the truth... RIP Saddam... George Bush... YOU SUCK... Ur awaiting judgement for all the innocent lives you claimed in Iraq...
