Saddam Hussein a good person.

Saddam was convicted by an Iraqi court of crimes against humanity and sentenced to hang. He is now a convicted mass murderer. If there is any poetic justice, he will be hung at Abu Ghraib prison where thousands of his victims suffered the same fate.


An Iraqi court or Iraq Special Tribunal…This Iraq Special Tribunal was setup by the "coalition forces" or basically America. In the transcript of the first court hearing you can read how Saddam Hussein pointed out that American force created the Special Tribunal to charge him. Saddam even points out that he signed many of the laws that he is being charged with. The judge was even appointed by Saddam. The point that Hussein was trying to make was that if you’re a true Iraqi, then you shouldn’t follow the trial because it is setup by the enemy. You can find most of the transcript at Washington Post website. I’m not saying that Saddam doesn’t deserve the death sentence for what he has done. One must understand that other leaders in the world have done just as horrible crimes as Saddam, if not worst, but yet I see no justice for them. The answer is rather obvious why no one acts on such digression. World chaos would follow because major countries along with unindustrialized countries would be invaded. Once again I must point out that Abu Ghraib, is nothing less then American torture camps at guantanamo bay. I love to see people talk about how Saddam had torture camps and how it’s so evil of him, and then they always seem to forget about American torture camps. So tell me is it the genocide that caused everyone to fear him, because Turkey had a similar genocide. Sudan is undergoing mass genocide. Take a look at South America and the United States. I don’t want to get into the specifics right now, but you know that the US has done some real horrible things to South America. I think you get the point I’m driving here. America has torture camps; America commits mass murder far beyond any other industrial country. America has suppressed South American countries and Middle Eastern countries for economic prosperity. But I don’t think that anyone should invade the US, I like the US. I’m just pointing out that one of the strongest countries is playing a very dangerous game. I’m sorry if your offended, and I understand the complicated relationship coming from anyone in Israel in regards to this topic.
