This makes a mockery of claims by the USA that Saddam received justice and that the people involved in his trial and execution were neutral and impartial.
May the soul of Pres.saddam hussein rest in peace------------AMEEN
Yes, poor Saddam former CIA and hand raised by KGB, total Baath party was shaped after the KGB methods.....
When you dance with the devil, you ultimately become one yourself......
Every leader who has been hung or bombed etc, Allahjee shows us their
lot in life for being evil against HIS creation.

Perhaps you were blinded by divine force when pictures of Halaabjah was broadcasted?
This man had several hundred thousands soul on his conscience.
The executers were too primitive.
Look at the Zionists and their wall.
Its the same human nature............when at worst.
Although i highly doubt this saudi source, Saddam practically killed his whole family, so if anyone deserved to be there at his death, it was muqtada al sadr himself. That said, ive read enough to know the article is full of bull and i dont believe for one minute he or his militia were there. The taunts were merely out of personal grievances, and not as folks would have us believe politically motivated or pre-planned.
all the same mooli sadr is practcially a thug and has been implicated with killing prominent shias too, not to mention his relationship with sistani. why defend him?
im not aware he was implicated in any killings, nor about his relations with Seyed Sistani, however how all that is relevent to the fact whether he was present at the execution or not...im not at all sure? I mean even if he was a thug..the logic still doesnt follow...
Very bizarre statement. It is impossible to classify this as anything by a politically motivated freak show. Why would they shout out the thug's name if it was out of 'personal grievances'? It was supposed to be about justice not revenge.

Then perhaps you should follow what goes on before posting. Even more so because you are supposed to be moderating. I would think that implies that you try to stay informed.

erm...neither.

If you don't follow what's going on or even want to know what's going on, maybe cafe would be a better use of your interests and 'talents'? You could probably even get away the uninformed pov regarding the greatness of Iran.

Where did several thousands of innocent people die by the hands, you claim?
The problem with Iraq is same as Afghanistan.
Too much of interference from outside........
The majority normally rules in a country. The kurds live in areas of naturel resources and it speaks for itself. The Sunnis of Iraq had their era. Now if the Shia of Iraq are trying to dominate the political scene, well, let them have a chance....
Its troubling to hear statements from Saudi Arabia in direct words:
"We will support the Sunnis against the rule of Shia of Iraq."
I thought, people were Iraqi first and then sunni or shia.....
If you have Iraqi friends, you should really have a healthy talk with them.
We have friends from both sides. The Sunni are afraid of the future, they
know whom they supported and benefitted from.
Well, the SAME thugs whom were executers and secret intelligence,
were handed out to provide SAFETY in Karbala and Najaf to the same group of
people, they had been killing for quite some years. That is why it was hard to
tell whom were with whom. This is also the main reason for some groups to
grab arms and protect themselves against former baathist.

Many consider him alot of things mate, you just gotta read a tad more to know the details. Sadr was not implicated in the murder of prominent shias (as ravage stated), he was of course 'accused' of being behind abdl majid al khoie's murder, but not many iraqis believe that, including al khoie's own family due to the good relationship they had and still do, yet sadr was made the scapegoat over it because he was/is the enemy the US were after.
The deaths squads were formed when sadr's militia was splintered and took they're own forms. This was after the capture of the city of Amarah when He ordered his men to lay down their arms and stop fighting, many disregarded his orders and carried on, and as a result the militia was broken off in to factions over which sadr had no control anymore.. i dont believe sadr can be held responsible for splintered factions that later formed into death squads and are no longer under is authority.
Heck he even disbanded his army, to join the political process, until that is the US forces attacked his home and arrested his representatives in kerbala..and that too after a truce. So as much as i dont like the guy as a person, i dont believe he is at all the evil guy america and others make him out to be.
sem: erm thanks for that piece of valuable information. I'll try and keep that in mind.
