I do believe in the quote ‘greatness, no matter how short, lasts forever’, and I also believe that shame lasts forever as well. Saddam Hussein has been the president of Iraq for quite sometime and took a lot of serious movements during that period of time. I can’t judge all his actions buy ‘good or bad’ deeds because the case is a lot more complicated than it seems, but all I can say that in my opinion he was unmerciful!
However when think of Saddam Hussein and the whole execution process, I don’t think of the man as well as of what he symbolises, because after all he was an Arab president to one of the most important countries in the middle east, he stood as a symbol more than him being a man . And whatever he did wasn’t only in his name but in the name of Iraq and whatever that was done to him also had huge effects on Iraqi people.
I believe that arresting him and executing him had more negative than positive effects .the positive effect was the so called ‘freedom’ of Iraqi’s but on the other hand, Iraq is now devastated, the people are lost, civil war between Sunni and sheit started, the countries natural resources are being stolen, telling a long story short the country is in total cayous. I’m not saying that I didn’t want him to leave because obviously it was about time, all I am saying that the way he left was strange.
