Trial of Sadam Hussain

Question:-

As a Muslim, rather than a Shiah or Sunni, how do you see the trial of the former Iraqi Dictator, Sadam Hussain? Can we expect justice? Does it reflect on Muslims or Islam?

Comment:-

Though one can seldom trust the Press to tell the truth because it is usually biased in favour of the interest of those who control it, there is independent evidence that Sadam Hussain was indeed a tyrant who headed a regime that killed, tortured, maimed, oppressed, and deceived many people and did much destruction. The news media are very selective of what they report and tend to exaggerate, distort and suppress. Governments too manipulate people and information, invent stories and even create events, including atrocities to discredit their opponents and other events to create false virtuous and appealing images for those they support, and do all kinds of mischief and mass deception under the protection of Official Secrets Legislation. In short a web of illusion is deliberately created with support of general wishful thinking to which the creators also fall victim.

But Sadam Hussain does not appear to be any worse than President Bush of the USA and his regime that also killed, tortured, maimed, bullied and deceived many people, caused much destruction and mischief. And they still continue to kill Iraqis with exactly the same excuse that Sadam Hussain had, namely the rebellion, uprising and "terrorism" of those who opposed his regime. But they have much less justification as they are foreign invaders who are justly opposed.

No Justice can be expected from the trial of Sadam Hussain. Most Shiahs who were oppressed want him executed. Most Sunnis think of him as the legitimate President of Iraq who kept order, peace and prosperity, preventing the very chaos that the invasion has caused. It is the Americans who want the trial as a propaganda show, having predetermined the outcome, his guilt and execution. It is they who have set up the Puppet Government in Iraq to serve their interests, created the courts in the midst of a hostile people that has killed defence lawyers, and it is they who have trained the lawyers and judges. The trial is theatre, a study in cynical hypocrisy and is likely to be counter productive. The US government and its supporters are most certainly a global terrorist organisation and are seen as such and controlled by persons who also control the large Corporations and tend to be criminally minded psychopaths - i.e. persons willing to sacrifice any number of others for their own gain - (but it is not politically correct to say so).

I do not think Sadam was a Muslim, but an atheist who believed in nothing or, according to reports, a worshipper or follower of people like Hitler and Stalin. However, considering the divided and degenerate state of Muslims, it could be predicted that the conflict between sects makes a strong ruthless ruler necessary. It is this degenerate state that also allowed them to be ruled and oppressed by tyrants, atheists, foreign powers or collaborators with them, and to be invded, exploited and destroyed as a punishment.

There being conflicting factions, then the removal of one set of rulers would only bring in another set of rulers who would also be opposed and revolted against and who would have to do exactly the same thing. This is now being done by the foreign invaders with the collaboration of what can be regarded, and are regarded, as traitors.

At present no solution to the problem can be discerned. Most certainly as long as the invaders are present they are a provocation and will continue to be opposed. They may leave from weariness and mounting expense. But their departure leaves the chaos. At least then the Iraqis will then have to tackle the problem themselves and they may get weary and welcome help from other Muslims. The break up of Iraq into three separate nations is likely. Indeed, Islam is in favour of Federation between self-determining communities and this should be the preferred political organisation throughout the Muslim World.

In the meantime:-

(1) The USA continues to loot Iraq and to enrich the shareholders in American Industries and Businesses and Political Officials.

(2) The conditions of Iraq continue to deteriorate into increasing anarchy, chaos, violence and destruction, much worse than they were under the rule of Sadam Hussain despite the massive presence of the US military force. This is because Bush and Blair and their supporters, those who were elected to run the US and the British Governments, were rather stupid, arrogant and self-righteous persons who stubbornly refused to take the advice of those with greater knowledge and intelligence.

(3) The aim of the US Government to impose their secular values and ideals on the Iraqis is a total failure though they expected it to be enthusiastically welcomed by the people. It did not occur to them that the USA is regarded widely as being mostly a depraved society and culture so that the regime that was likely to arise in Iraq would be quite different from what they hoped and expected.

(4) But the self-deluded leadership of the USA and Britain continue to spin fantasies about their good intentions and successes in Afghanistan and Iraq and deceive their peoples. There are, of course, some rare factual reports about the real state of affairs by investigators dedicated to truth, but these are usually hidden in obscure places. This is because the public in general is apathetic and much more interested in sport, entertainment, material goods and gossip than in anything serious and important. This is also why those with psychopathic and criminal tendencies rise unobtrusively to positions of power and run national affairs with immunity.

Question:-

Apart from invading Iraq, the US has bombed many other countries, including a village in Pakistan (13 Jan 2006) killing 16 men, women and children, injuring many more and destroying homes and businesses on the excuse that they were targeting a terrorist. What is your reaction to that.

Answer:-

The US has done this kind of thing in many countries. It has been pointed out several times that the US Government runs a global terrorist organisation headed by psychopathic criminals - i.e. persons who do not mind killing innocent people indiscriminately. No doubt they also feel immune from retaliation because Pakistan has an American Puppet Government, a dictatorship held up by a military funded by the USA. But it is evident that those who befriend the USA are not immune from US treachery.

There no difference between the USA bombing these other countries and those who bombed places in the USA? Surely those who retaliate against this atrocity in a similar manner can hardly be blamed with justification by the US or anyone else when they do the same. But note that Western Politicians, Newspapers, Television and Radio Stations hardly mention these bombings, acts of aggression and other atrocities when committed by the USA against others, but a tremendous fuss is made by them when others do anything similar to them. There is no condemnation of Israeli terrorism against the Palestinians, but there is against retaliatory actions by Palestinian organisations such as Hamas. The desire to impose Democracy on others (an obvious contradiction in terms) by the USA is regarded as a laudable aim. But when Democracy brings to power a regime they disapprove of, then steps are taken to support armed opposition, insurrection and civil chaos. Governments or organisations that try to deal with this situation are called “terrorists” to justify political, economic, covert intrigue and subversion and criminal and military actions against them. Their point of view must not be heard and no diplomatic negotiations must be undertaken with them. It is insisted that negotiations will only take place when the opposition renounces violence and disarms while they, of course, retain a massive armed force and continue their violence and provocation.

It is perfectly clear that all countries have to arm themselves adequately for defence against US aggression? The reason given for invading Iraq that they had weapons of mass destruction is certainly a hypocritical one when the US has a much greater arsenal of these than anyone else and continues to be the greatest threat to the world. Politics is most certainly a dirty business and Politicians with some exceptions are the most despicable of people. It is unlikely that World conditions will improve until Politics is taken out of the hands of politicians and “politicking” is recognised as the most heinous of crimes and those who indulge in it are prosecuted as criminals. Unfortunately general apathy and narrow interests in relative trivialities and amusement prevents this.
