They Shall Reap the Whirlwind!

So Saddam Hussein, the butcher of Baghdad, is dead. What has his hanging achieved? "One less murderous bastard in the world!" some might say.

Well quite the opposite in fact. By gifting his followers a martyr as the Americans have done, he will live on forever in spirit to his followers. If this undoubted war criminal had lived out the rest of his natural life in a prison cell and died quietly years later, his passing would have gone only as a footnote to history. Though he would have lived and breathed for longer, he would have been far more dead to his supporters while still breathing than he is now.

The manner of his death will be remembered as a heroic end to his supporters. Killed by the American occupation, a martyr of Iraq. The trial showed many that the so-called Iraqi justice system is merely a system for processing American revenge. The Americans have shown that, as their imperialist predecessors did, they have no concept of fairness, democracy or justice.

For their petty revenge, they shall reap the whirlwind.
