Saddam Hussein Hanged for Crimes Against Humanity
(Right - an innocent child hit by a U.S bomb in Iraq)
This is another chance to watch the full unedited version of Saddam Hussein being hanged for Crimes Against Humanity.
Now he has received the full punishment of the law, how about we start discussing other Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes in general? Why is it that George W. Bush, Tony Blair, and the US/UK sanction regime, in general, get off 'scot-free' from their crimes against humanity and war crimes? Especially as it has now been firmly established that the Iraq War was (or is) illegal, and immoral, not to mention completely out of control. There was little reporting in the press about how the Americans on a number of occasions prevented aid, water and vaccines into Iraq (and Afghanistan),at a time when they were dying in droves from diseased water supplies. Despite this, they blamed Saddam for not complying with the United Nations. You do not punish the innocent civilians when trying to attack a brutal tryrant!
It is apparent that there is one law for one (usually Westernised, Christian leaders), and one law for another (those who read the Qu'ran or are sitting on valuable Oil reserves)? I do not believe that hanging is necessarily deserved for either party, but some acknowledgment that their (US/UK) decision was flawed, and, as in the picture above, innocent people have most definitely suffered.
Saddam Hussein was tried for Crimes against Humanity, mainly because of the mass gassing of the Kurds in the late eighties, but a year after the gassing in 1989, the U.S made the political decision that it was better for foreign relations (meaning for the price of Oil) to continue the pleasantries between them and Iraq, and subsequently, lifted the ban on loans to the country! A bit hypocritical I am sure you will agree, and highlights that there was clearly an ulterior motive behind their attack on Iraq. That combined with the lack of evidence for the Weapons of Mass Destruction (remember when there was little else talked of, in the media?) and you have a clearer picture of the truth. The alleged 'relations' between Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein have been proven completely false, and quite the opposite, with Al Qaeda posing a direct threat potentially to Saddam's regime.
I guess everyone needs a scapegoat?! Especially when 'terrorism' was so desperately 'needed' to allow the American Oligarchy to be fully established as the world's leaders and the world's police force. When you are becoming unfavourable in the eyes of the citizens, one option of escape is to 'incite fear'. And here we are, a world terrified of terror, well, I'm sorry, but I am NOT scared! I was far more afraid of a real threat from terrorism, such as when we were frequently terrorised by the IRA in the U.K. I remember the bombs, but for some reason, there was no hysteria compared to the 'Al Qaeda hysteria' that is rife nowadays in the Western world. I do not fall for the propaganda, sorry! I also remember that the British government adopted a low-key, non-panic attitude. In 1996 the Arndale Centre in Manchester was bombed at a cost of £411 million, and still nothing compared to the very minor threat posed by the Al Qaeda regime. Why?!
Maybe, like the Russian blogger (see below) this article will be classed as 'inciting hatred' and I could be sent to prison for speaking for the masses, then so be it! I am not a sheep, and I will not 'shut up' for your sakes, I will fight for justice, no matter the cost, and I believe in Freedom of Speech! The truth is that the hatred is already there, and if the U.S continue stomping on the rest of the world's toes, with their mega-lo-maniacal, hegemonious, 'neocon' fundamentalist attitudes, they will have very few friends indeed, just like Saddam, in the end. See the article below entitled,'American Global Hegemony in Crisis!', which discusses how the self-titled SuperPower need to diversify in order to sustain their control, other wise, they risk committing political suicide!
We need to start opening our eyes to who the 'good' and 'evil' guys really are, and stop listening to the puritanical Christian rhetoric, which we are subjected to on a daily basis. Depending on who is more favourable 'politically', or more likely, 'economically', the subject in question changes from 'good' to 'evil' to quickly sway public opinion, and it works!
I, also, do not support Islamic fundamentalism either for that matter, as neither are accepting of other faiths, and therefore, other people.
Don't get me wrong, Saddam probably deserved his fate for the gassing of innocent civilians, and I cannot justify bio-chemical warfare in any shape or form, but if he receives the judgment of death for his crimes, and across the pond (in the U.S) the leader receives another term in power, something is very, very wrong with the system as a whole! That said, when bio-chemical warfare has been illegal in war since Vietnam, when the U.S troops would tear gas the Vietnames soldiers and open fire when they staggered out blindly, Why do the U.S troops in Iraq have C.S gas cannisters?!? (check the index of weapons online at Wikileaks).
For those who patriotically fight for their country regardless, out of blind and ignorant loyalty, then please, enjoy the following film...
