On this very day, Saddam is executed. No matter what Saddam did, his judges, his executers are no less guilty than he might be. He killed people without giving them a fair trial. He was killed without being given the right for a fair trial. The judge and the judged, inthis case, are no different.
I felt sad watching the sad moments of a downfall; the downfall of a human being. After all, Saddam Husain was a human being. I felt heartbroken when i witnessed how some people expressed their joy for this death forgetting that it is just another soul being taken away from its body, unfairly!!
If Saddam "deserves" death, as some would say, then for killing people as a president, then all presidents at the time of the First and Second World Wars "deserve" death for killing so many millions of innocent people, and all European kings and leaders "deserve" being executed for killing other millions while colonizing lands and conquering large masses of free people like the massacres of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. WE ARE NOT to LABEL people as war victims, civilians or soldiers... they are humans beings, pure and simple, Humans whose life and death is in God's Hands.
Saddam died. Regardless of all, a son, a husband,a father and a cousin died. Just another soul lost forever.
May he rest in peace and be forgiven!!
