<span style="font-weight: normal;">Years After the Fall of Saddam, How Do Iraqis Look Back on the War?</span></h1>
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">It might well be that the war has ultimately given Iraqis a shot at democracy. But it also eliminated the region's most important check on the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Ignatius pointed out, Iraq is now a transit point for materials and pro-Assad fighters going into Syria: "It's a perverse consequence of history that we spent a trillion dollars and countless American lives to give Iran strategic advantage in the region."</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>It might well be that the "majority" of Iraqis feel better off thanks to the war. But even if so, that majority would certainly be dominated by Kurds and Shias, and comprise very few Sunis. And one of the major ongoing challenges that post-war Iraq faces is precisely: horrible sectarian violence.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>It might well be, too, that ultimate responsibility for the to-date acute failures in building a democratic Iraq lay with Iraq's post-war leadership. But ultimate responsibility surely still lies with the United States for, at the very least not knowing who will fail to build a successful new state after the U.S. dismantles the old one.</b></span>EMIRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09981751968054771760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794366572767718748.post-13189385780427606312015-01-27T07:20:00.002-08:002015-01-27T07:20:27.873-08:00Full text: the Saddam Hussein 'letter'<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/12/29/saddam2_wideweb__470x306,0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/12/29/saddam2_wideweb__470x306,0.jpg" height="206" width="320" /></a><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Full text: the Saddam Hussein 'letter'</span><br />
<b>This is a translation, from Arabic, of a letter to the Iraqi people allegedly written by the former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>From Saddam Hussein to the great Iraqi people, the sons of the Arab and Islamic nation, and honourable people everywhere.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of God.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Just as Hulaku entered Baghdad, the criminal Bush entered it, with Alqami, or rather, more than one Alqami.*</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>They did not conquer you - you who reject the occupation and humiliation, you who have Arabism and Islam in your hearts and minds - except through betrayal.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Indeed, it is not a victory while there is still resistance in your souls.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What we used to say has now become reality, for we do not live in peace and security while the deformed Zionist entity is on our Arab land; therefore there is no rift in the unity of the Arab struggle.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sons of our great people:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Rise up against the occupier and do not trust anyone who talks of Sunni and Shia, because the only issue that the homeland - your great Iraq - faces now is the occupation.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There are no priorities other than driving out the infidel, criminal, cowardly occupier. No honourable hand is held out to shake his, but, rather, the hand of traitors and collaborators.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I say to you that all the countries surrounding you are against your resistance, but God is with you because you are fighting unbelief and defending your rights.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The traitors have allowed themselves to declare their treachery, even though it is shameful, so declare your rejection of the occupier for the sake of great Iraq, for the nation, for Islam and for humanity.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Iraq - together with the sons of the nation and the people of honour - and we shall restore the stolen relics and rebuild Iraq which they (may God bring shame upon them) wish to split into pieces.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Saddam has no property in his own name and I defy anyone to prove that there were palaces except in the name of the Iraqi state. I left them a long time ago to live in a small house.</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b>
<b>Forget everything and resist the occupation, because error begins when there are priorities other than the occupier and his expulsion. Remember that they are aiming to bring in those who will fight one another so that your Iraq will remain weak and they can plunder it as they have been doing.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Your party, the Arab Ba'ath Socialist party, is proud that it did not extend its hand to the Zionist enemy and did not give in to the cowardly American or British aggressor.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Whoever stands against Iraq and plots against it will not prosper in peace at the hands of America.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Greetings to everyone who resists, to every honourable Iraqi citizen, and to every woman, child and sheikh in our great Iraq.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>United, and the enemy and the traitors who came in with him will flee. Know that the one with whom the invading forces came, whose planes flew to kill you, will send you nothing but poison.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>God willing, the day of liberation and victory will come, for us, for the nation, and above all for Islam. This time, as always when right triumphs, the days to come will be more beautiful.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Take care of your possessions, your departments, and your schools. Boycott the occupier. Boycott him, for this is a duty towards Islam, religion and the homeland.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Long live great Iraq and its people.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Long live Palestine, free and Arab from the river to the sea.**</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>God is greatest.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>May the despicable ones be despised.</b><br />

The execution was videotaped on a mobile phone, showing Saddam being taunted before his hanging. The video was leaked to electronic media, becoming the subject of global controversy. <p>Not long before the execution, Saddam's lawyers released his last letter:</p> <table style="border-style: none; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: transparent;" class="cquote2" align="center"> <tbody><tr> <td style="padding: 10px; color: rgb(178, 183, 242); font-size: 40px; font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;" valign="top" width="20">“</td> <td style="padding: 4px 10px;" valign="top">To the great nation, to the people of our country, and humanity, <p>Many of you have known the writer of this letter to be faithful, honest, caring for others, wise, of sound judgment, just, decisive, careful with the wealth of the people and the state ... and that his heart is big enough to embrace all without discrimination.</p> <p>You have known your brother and leader very well and he never bowed to the despots and, in accordance with the wishes of those who loved him, remained a sword and a banner.</p> <p>This is how you want your brother, son or leader to be ... and those who will lead you (in the future) should have the same qualifications.</p> <p>Here, I offer my soul to God as a sacrifice, and if He wants, He will send it to heaven with the martyrs, or, He will postpone that ... so let us be patient and depend on Him against the unjust nations.</p> <p>Remember that God has enabled you to become an example of love, forgiveness and brotherly coexistence ... I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave a space for a person to be fair and it makes you blind and closes all doors of thinking and keeps away one from balanced thinking and making the right choice.</p> <p>I also call on you not to hate the peoples of the other countries that attacked us and differentiate between the decision-makers and peoples. Anyone who repents - whether in Iraq or abroad - you must forgive him.</p> <p>You should know that among the aggressors, there are people who support your struggle against the invaders, and some of them volunteered for the legal defence of prisoners, including Saddam Hussein ... some of these people wept profusely when they said goodbye to me.</p> <p>Dear faithful people, I say goodbye to you, but I will be with the merciful God who helps those who take refuge in him and who will never disappoint any faithful, honest believer ... God is Great ... God is great ... Long live our nation ... Long live our great struggling people ... Long live Iraq, long live Iraq ... Long live Palestine ... Long live jihad and the mujahedeen (the insurgency).</p> <p>Saddam Hussein President and Commander in Chief of the Iraqi Mujahed Armed Forces</p> <p>Additional clarification note:</p> <p>I have written this letter because the lawyers told me that the so-called criminal court — established and named by the invaders — will allow the so-called defendants the chance for a last word. But that court and its chief judge did not give us the chance to say a word, and issued its verdict without explanation and read out the sentence — dictated by the invaders — without presenting the evidence. I wanted the people to know this.</p> </td> <td style="padding: 10px; color: rgb(178, 183, 242); font-size: 40px; font-family: serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;" valign="bottom" width="20">”</td> </tr> <tr> <td><br /></td> <td valign="top"> <div style="line-height: 1em; text-align: right;"><cite style="font-style: normal;">— Letter by Saddam Hussein</cite></div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p>A transcript of the dialogue between Saddam and his executioners was published by theBBC and Al Jazeera:<br /></p> <p>[Saddam] <b>God is Great.

As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, Saddam tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces—at a time when many other groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government—by creating repressive security forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam spearheaded Iraq's nationalization of the Western-owned Iraq Petroleum Company, which had long held a monopoly on the country's oil. Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as Iraq's economy grew at a rapid pace.<br /><br />As president, Saddam maintained power during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) and the first Persian Gulf War (1991). During these conflicts, Saddam repressed movements he considered threatening to the stability of Iraq, particularly Shi'a and Kurdish movements seeking to overthrow the government or gain independence, respectively. While he remained a popular hero among many disaffected Arabs everywhere for standing up to the West and for his support for the Palestinians,United States leaders continued to view Saddam with deep suspicion following the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Saddam was deposed by the U.S. and its allies during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.<br /><br />Captured by U.S. forces on December 13, 2003, Saddam was brought to trial under the Iraqi interim government set up by U.S.-led forces. On November 5, 2006, he was convicted of charges related to the executions of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites suspected of planning an assassination attempt against him, and was sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam was executed on December 30, 2006, with highly controversial video clips of him and his captors insulting each other and recorded by mobile phone posted on the Internet within hours.EMIRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09981751968054771760noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794366572767718748.post-79923894998142267712008-05-06T01:58:00.000-07:002008-05-06T01:59:07.100-07:00SadamsadamEMIRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09981751968054771760noreply@blogger.com2
