The real issue in Saddam’s killing is that the invasion of Iraq was not only immoral, it was illegal, and the kangaroo court set up under U.S. occupation lacked legitimacy. Saddam had blood on his hands, and could have been tried for crimes against humanity - as Milosovic was tried before the International Criminal Court (ICC). However, U.S. under the Bush-Cheney Klan, has refused to accept ICC and its jurisdiction. Replacing ICC with a kangaroo court under a puppet regime, and then hurrying through with sentencing and hanging negated all norms of justice. There is little doubt that many secrets of U.S. complicity in Saddam’s crimes are now interred in the grave. Considering the above, Najeeb’s Kazmi’s diatribe against Akber was appalling. Najeeb is welcome to say what he wishes about Saddam, but his personal attacks on Akber are unacceptable. Here are samples of his attacks: “emotional mumbo jumbo”, “mental disorientation”, “minces his words to let his mentality known”. Najeeb owes an apology to all members for negating the mission of FotH, which is said to be to “promote dialogue for better understanding” In another discussion on FotH, Najeeb attacked Subuhi, with a disgusting comment about what would have happened if Subuhi had been in Saudi Arabia. Many self-respecting people refuse to work in Saudi Arabia. Those who do, and are honest about their motivation, know they are mercenaries and accept being seen as such by Saudis. Still others are truly religious, and find redeeming value in being close to the Muslim holy sites. If Najeeb chose to work in Saudi Arabia, he should stop venting his bitterness on others. The real reason for Najeeb’s anger probably comes out in the last paragraph, where he talks of the land of “Hussain Ibn-Ali”. That sounds like a mirror image of Osama Bin Laden talking of Saudi Arabia as the land of “Muhammad”. Is this the same Najeeb who pontificates about secular values?!#! Well, what can one say about people who do not know themselves?
To get back to Saddam’s lynching, Mark Fiore’s animation below captures
the essence of what happened. He has Saddam saying “I am not just a
secular tyrant, I am a religious sacrifice”
