Re: Saddams last words.
I am quoting from The Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2007/01/02/dl0201.xml
The Iraqi constitution (by which the American-led coalition sets such store) requires President Jalal Talabani and his two vice-presidents to sign a decree of authorisation for any execution. Mr Maliki effectively ignored this requirement. Even more inflammatory as far as Iraq’s Sunni minority is concerned was his flouting of the Iraqi law that executions should not take place during the Id al-Adha holiday. For Sunnis, that began on Saturday, the day of Saddam’s execution.
So the hanging of Saddam was illegal (my comment).
The war was illegal as it was not endorsed by the U.N. Even Kofi Annan admitted that the war was illegal. The Kurds or the Shias that he killed were either collateral damage or actively fighting against their country with the help of Iran. Iran is also reported to have used chemical weapons during the war. By the same token Blair and Bush are even bigger criminals.
