Saddam Hussein: A Controversial Perspective.

Introduction:

After rewatching the the execution of Saddam Hussein in 2006 I thought I'd do a blog on him. It was a momentous event that stirred global debates on justice, accountability, and the ethics of capital punishment. While acknowledging the atrocities committed during his regime, some argue that the decision to hang Saddam Hussein was overly influenced by political motivations, and that he may not have deserved the ultimate punishment assigned to him. I also watched ITN Exclusive: Saddam Hussein Interviewed on the Eve of the Gulf War (1990) on YouTube it is very insightful.

Contextualising Saddam Hussein's Regime:

Saddam Hussein, the former President of Iraq, undoubtedly presided over a regime marked by brutality, human rights abuses, and suppression of dissent. His invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the subsequent Gulf War resulted in immense suffering for the Iraqi people. However, critics argue that the portrayal of Hussein as the epitome of evil may have been exaggerated for political reasons.

Influence of Political Motivations:

The execution of Saddam Hussein occurred amidst a tumultuous period in Iraq, marked by sectarian tensions and a fragile political landscape. Some critics believe that the decision to execute Hussein was influenced by a desire to establish a sense of closure and justice for the Iraqi people, as well as to send a message to other dictators in the region.

Flaws in the Judicial Process:

Detractors of Hussein's execution point to flaws in the judicial process, arguing that it lacked international legitimacy and transparency. They claim that the trial may have been politically motivated and that the rush to execute him did not allow for a thorough examination of the complexities surrounding his regime.

Exploring Alternatives to Execution:

Those who question the hanging of Saddam Hussein advocate for alternative forms of justice, such as a life sentence or an international tribunal. They argue that these options would allow for a more comprehensive examination of the crimes committed during his regime and promote a deeper understanding of the historical context.

Conclusion:

The debate surrounding the execution of Saddam Hussein remains highly controversial, with opinions sharply divided on whether he deserved the ultimate punishment or if alternative forms of justice could have been pursued. While acknowledging the atrocities committed during his rule, some argue that the rush to execution may have been influenced by political considerations, raising questions about the fairness and transparency of the judicial process. Ultimately, the execution of Saddam Hussein continues to be a subject of intense debate, prompting reflection on the complexities of justice in the aftermath of oppressive regimes.

From Explosions to Elections: The CRAZIEST November 5th in History! #yts...

[nobiramone]

Damals wie Heute | Verteidigt die Freiheit | Stoppt Trump | Das westliche Zeitalter der Aufklärung ist von dem Gedanken getragen, das die Vernunft und die Freiheit im Stande ist, die Wahrheit ans Licht zu führen. Und es ist wahr, alle Menschen sind frei und gleich an Würden und Rechten geboren. Z. B. Die Personen, die auf dem Boden der USA geboren sind, erhalten [sofort] die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft kraft Geburt (Birthright citizenship), siehe Geburtsortsprinzip. Dies ist im 14. Zusatzartikel zur Verfassung der Vereinigten Staaten festgelegt. Trump will dieses Prinzip abschaffen, er begründet dies zusätzlich, mit grundsätzlichen Lügen über mexikanische Einwanderer. Damit stellt er sich, gegen einen wichtigen Teil der amerikanischen Verfassung. Aber die allgemeinen Menschen- und Bürgerrechte sind den paranoiden Polit-Egomanen egal, seine Sympathie für #Erdogan, #Putin und #saddamhussein definieren seinen autoritären Charakter. Ob seine postfaktische Politik sich durchsetzt und mehrheitsfähig wird, es wird sich zeigen. Verteidigt die Freiheit! Bild:

BABYLON PALACE

Abandoned Places

Saddam Hussein’s BABYLON PALACE

            Saddam Hussein had numerous palaces and spent millions to reconstruct Babylon. Hussein was an admirer of the Babylon ruler Nebuchadnezzar who was leader over Iran and Israel. He had an artificial hill created for his palace to be built on.  

            Today Hussein’s much loved palace is abandoned and has since been vandalized by graffeti. President Bush invaded Iraq in 2003 and the US forces destroyed the palace and looted artifacts. Today, tourists and those curious walk through the palace of one of Iraq’s most famous rulers.

Iraq war: UN after the war -Iraq today

20 years since the start of the US invasion on Iraq, the war didn't just leave deep damages on the country but also on the United Nation. The US launched the operation on Iraq without the UN support or approval, which damaged the creditability of the UN. The war have affected Iraq for generations, people say there are some approvments and gains, but its nothing compare to the loss they had, loss of social security, sense of cohesion, divisions from all life aspects, isolated and left behind. - Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #Iraq #war #UnitedStates #us #SaddamHussein # Read the full article
