Easy Life, Easy Death...
Im gonna keep this very short, as I just got back from work, and my bed seems too enticing to miss. The verdict: Death penalty by hanging...Am I jumping up and down with Joy??? Nope, infact Im disappointed. Im very disappointed. I didnt want the death penalty. I wanted him to get life imprisonment and rot in a 1 by 1 cell. I wanted his pride to be broken. I wanted him to live to the day were he will see a better Iraq. Whatever remaining years he had, I wanted him to live them in fear, in solitude, in despair....
He got away, way too easy... Way way too easy... With just a pull of a rope, he will be gone, but the mothers, the orphans, the fathers, the sons, everyone, everyone who lost their dear and beloved will never forget him nor forgive him...Never...
To suffer in a tiny cubicle of a cell, with no toilet, no clean water, no good food is what he was supposed to get...Exactly like what he used to give...To say I want him tortured is an understatement. No International Court of Law will allow what I have in my mind for that criminal...Hanging him is a great great pity...
If it makes all those he tortured happy and satisfied then yes, I will be glad too. If it makes all those mothers that lost their sons smile, then yes I will smile too. If it makes all the kids he orphaned have hope again, then yes I will have hope too...But Only If....
I dont know much of the reaction of the Iraqis cuz none of them came to work. The Iraqi expats, the 3 that are left with me, including WOB didnt care much about the verdict. I just sat there with my headset, watching the Alarbiya channel on the net with disbelief...
Heard a few gunshots, some say are celebratory, others say the big hammering will come after the curfew...Thats all I have to say, Im disappointed, really disappointed. The end of an era has come with a pull of a rope... He got away with an easy life, and will get away with an easy death, with his damn pride intact...What a shame!!! But I guess that era is gone...Saddam's Era gone forever. Yet his followers are still alive and are still killing!!! I say Good riddance, but you got away too easy... Easy Life, Easy Death!!!

I must agree with you there NIW. Much too easy for him.
I agree...Personally, I don't support death penalty. Leaving him in jail to rot would have been the best form of punishment. His death will make his followers make him a martyr.
Being in jail will allow him enough time to think, to feel pain and shame, to despair... The death penalty is an easy way out!
I am normally against capital punishment but this time I will make an exception. All the while he is alive then some will believe he will come back maybe be inspired keep fighting to make it happen.
Of course the timing is just a bad joke, just another Bush stunt.
My friend, I agree with you.
I go a step further, I think it is appropriate for him to be isolated in a single cell and live out his life without freedom.
I want him to be subjected to pictures of the people he has murdered, pictures of the devastation of Iraq and the sound of the wailing mourners as their loved ones are buried.
I do not believe the death penalty is ever the right solution. Is is only bringing the rest of society down to the same vile level as the perpetrator.
I want to believe the rest of society is better than that. Too many times I have been given evidence I am wrong, I still hang on to my belief of humanity as being a loving thing, working very hard to overcome old, antiquated notions.
I have prayed the new Iraq would not murder the murderer, I feel sad she has decided to follow the old vengeful ways and not really change at all.
My only hope is, things will change.

I think death penalty is good punishment for him. If his followers keep fighting, then U.S Army MUST hammer thier cities - sunni Triangle - without mercy once and for all.
God, i'am 16 and i feel this the best time in my life :)
Deat for Saddam, Long Live New Iraq.
Hello NIW,
For me I didn't give a shit when the copurt sentenced Saddam, because whether killing him or keep him at the jail won't change the situation a bit.
We Iraqis want to live and have the better life and enough off Saddam and his gangs...
Cheer up girl!
What a surprize...The occupation installed court rules that the president of Iraq should be executed for the crime of defending himself against an Iranian supported assasination attempt... 2 days before the mid-term elections in the US!
I might look at it differently, especially with the last comment: when I think of this trial I thought of how to punish this criminal who brought every scumbag in the world and started to ruin Iraq since day 1. He tried to spread his poisness breath to other countries, and the result was more disasterous - any Kuwaiti or Iranian loves any normal Iraqi citizen? I don't think so! all because of what that lunatic killer did.
Will sentence him to death bring a smile to the Iraqis? I feel that the souls of those who died unfairely is smiling since the day he was captured in a rat hole. The day these souls will have comfort is when this man is finally dead.
Yesterday was a historic day, it was not easy, NIW, we all had beloved ones killed by him and his sheaps, and I can understand what you feel (hopefully). It is a big day, and many Iraqis are happy to witness the day when Saddam standing in front of a judge telling him that "you are sentenced, by hanging till death" In these moments he is hanging.
I don't care if the timing is wrong or right, what important at that moment in time is that he did not get it easy: for more than a year he has been humilated (I know it is not enough), and still time he will be brought to court for the other cases till the day the sentence date.
Iraqis did not get used to happiness, to joy, to celebration, because of him and the things he has done - and the legacy he left which we see now in day to day violence in Iraq. Still, why shouldn't we? why shouldn't we celebrate, for the sake of those who died?
NIW, I don't know if you did read this article:
http://www.alarabiya.net/Articles/2006/11/06/28844.htm
the part about how Saddam spent his time after the verdict!
They chose to kill Saddam so that he wouldn't be alive to testify against the Bush administration in their future war crimes trials.
How could NIW be so IGNORANT she does not understand that she is waisting her time and her life in the Green Zone?!?
How can NIW support the very people who bomb and torture her countrymen?!?
anonymous:
you seriously think NIW should forget her Iraqi identity, her personal history because of your fabrications?
She should forget what Saddam did to her people just because you mention American elections?
Mixmax,
Saddam did not seem the same, walking slowly, his force has left him? Good thing.
As often, I agree with your point of view. His dead won't bring him any peace, but to the Iraqi people. It's an opportunity to bury the past and look forward to the future.
I understand NIW's feelings, but the destiny she wishes for him wouldn't work. Human rights organisations would inspect his conditions of imprisonment, he would be a lifelong martyr, his messages would still be spread in the media and ill-wishing egoists would still demand him back into authority. I don't mean Iraqi ba'thists, but people like Cox from the Guardian.
NIW - Saddam is NOTHING in the big picture. Yes he murdered people, but with Rumsfeld's support. He once worked for the US (hense the US's death sentence - one less guy testifying at Bush's war tribunal). I do not support Saddam, but if we are going to hang people for crimes, let's start with the people who get rich off death. Let's examine and RESEARCH who was responsible for 9/11.
911= BUSH.
How NIW could be so ignorant in the face of LIES is beyond words.

how the hell is sadam going to improve the future of the younger generations of iraqis???
Will that improve the future of the younger generation? yes, to an extent, because of the many groups keeping on murdering innocent people are Saddam's thugs. They are operating under the umberrela of what they call themselves Mujahideen and whatever name they carry!
Nice post and good reading your blog again.

Nice post, NIW, as always. Glad to see that Saddam is going to be punished. I think it would have been better for him to get life -- hey! Maybe we could force him to wear headphones with blonde pop tart music piping in for 8 hours a day, strapped in a chair watching Real World for another 8, and then sleeping on a bed of nails during the night.
Seriously.
The only drawback to this whole thing is that well, it WAS the Americans who hunted him down in the hole he was hiding in, and hauled him to court to face justice. So NOW the hawkish types in the US will point to the trial and say: "See! We're making progress. We should 'stay the course' until we get the job done."
Sometimes that 'can do' American spirit should revert to 'I'll pass.'
Let's get outta there.
Thank you very much for it!
