he reason I translated this
because it is the best article written yet, published on
iraqirabita, the real name of the article is "Who will try
Chalabi, Talabani, Barazani, Mahdi Army, Badr Birgade".
Worth to say that the writer "Ali Al-Saraf" is one of the Iraqi
intellectuals who fled the country years ago for his opposition
against Saddam and Ba’ath party.
No argue…Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was "a dictator." …Well
…
What then? He never claimed that he is a "democratic", the man
did not deceive anyone whatsoever, he is a decider. It was
sufficiently clear, during his trial, when all accusations
addressed to he said: "I decided, and I assume responsibility.",
this is what it is. It was his right, by virtue of his office,
to decide.
Iraq, before Saddam, wasn’t "Plato’s utopia", to make his
"dictatorship" to an issue, there were no grounds to make
democracy on the Western standard benchmarks to judge any
President in any other Arab country, or other developing
countries of the world, however, management requirements in
Iraq, still, and will remain, individual, and sometimes absolute
strict authorities.
Democracy is not in any case, a grant...It is a project, like
every other project, it requires foundations and heralds of
social, economic, cultural, in the absence of such bases and
introductions, democracy will be only nonsense, that does not
differ in substance, even elections nonsense, which were
conducted, unjustifiably, by Saddam regime or the occupation.
The foundations for building democracy in Iraq are not available
yet. Yes, there are grounds, as it is very clear now, for
disasters, sectarian, lootings, murder and torture, but there
are no grounds to build democracy.
Not the economy, culture and the nature of social relations
allow the establishment of democracy. The Parliament nonsense
and collaborators and platitudes, these are not democracy. not
even elections of bribes.
If so, no one should blame Saddam’s dictatorship, in fact, it
must be said, "Thank you", "but" then later, what type of
dictatorship?
The man was strict, he does not want his or prestige to be
passed-on, and passing on his prestige could mean death, no one
can argue that.
He wanted us to respect his authority, place it above the shelf
and out of the controversy, that’s it.
If Iraqis commit today, and "under democracy" such heinous
crimes against each other, then why Saddam’s regime would be
blamed for his crimes?
What can be expected in a country that lacks the capabilities
and mechanisms for dialogue and acceptance of differences and
pluralism, killings and other abuses?
Which is closer to the Arab and Islamic culture: Iraqi President
to be the embodiment of absolute authority "Harun-Ar-Rashid", or
the embodiment of the Parliament of Athens?
Why, then, call Saddam after the crimes of his regime a
dictatorship, in what sense? According any model?
What is the basis of reference, which allows a court, came from
a post-globalization, to try "Haroon Rashid" on what he did?
Of course, the court trying Saddam, lack the legal basis and
values, but they dare to try a president with a law was enacted
after the crime occurred, even without taking into account that
he exercised his authority or defended.
While, after the occupation the government destroying whole
cities to stop the resistance, but it may not be for the
President to decide the execution of traitors -or-say fighters
had ambushed him collaborating with a foreign country was
fighting a war against their own country!
How can such an absurdity, but the absurd? However, Saddam
deserves to be executed. But for reasons that have nothing to do
with his dictatorship and his crimes.
There are at least 10 reasons importantly; crimes of a different
nature:
Here the list of real crimes committed by Saddam, and he
committed them alone with his full responsibility:
1- Saddam, even when he was a deputy, he nationalized Iraqi
oil, the unilateral unfair decision. This caused a lot of harm
and damage to foreign oil companies.
2- Launching an unfair campaign against illiteracy, even his
intelligence, were watching the children, in order to go to
school, and even their parents as well, the illiteracy rate
dropped to less than 10% in a country that was three-quarters
are happy to live without reading and writing, most of the
people today known as the "Shiite majority."
It seems that the time has come to this "majority" in order to
retaliate for the suffering and bitterness incurred during that
phase of the dark history of dictatorship, especially since many
of their children have become, doctors and engineers without
having committed any crime!
3- Issued a law to make education compulsory up to secondary
school, thus deprived hundreds of thousands of Iraqi families to
benefit from the decision instead of selling cigarettes in the
streets.
4- Granting autonomy to the Kurdish people, said it was "a
formality" granting which gives authorities more than England
gave to Wales, especially since the Kurds in neighboring
countries enjoy much greater rights and subjected to persecution
and discrimination.
He went on, and made Kurdish language a second language,
compulsory to the Iraqis to learn it, the rebuilt the Kurdistan
region, borders controls which deprived "War-lords" of Kurdish
parties from living on the smuggling of goods.
Granting newspapers published in Arabic and Kurdish, , which was
regarded as a flagrant violation of the rights of the Kurds to
continue illiteracy.
Appointed a Kurdish deputy, while the "majority" of Kurds in
Iraq want to have the post of the president and the rights of
the post of Foreign Minister so "War-Lords" can smuggle oil, if
possible!
5- Used the wealth of Iraq for the construction of industrial
installations, while it was necessary to focus on importing from
abroad.
Granting peasants and farmers, according to the law violates all
international norms, agricultural land more than they can farm,
and when they failed, he supplied them with equipment and
machinery and mechanisms.
Distributed free of charge refrigerators and televisions to the
farmers to force them to drink cold water in summer, and to
follow up on television programs, which deprived them of sleep
early.
7- Free education system, converted universities into scientific
institutions and attracting expertise resulted in the emergence
of scholars in various fields of medicine, engineering,
chemistry, electricity, electronics, and other scientific
fields, which was regarded as a deliberate distortion of the
national potential and malicious attempt to brain washing.
8- Issued a law to ensure the civil rights of women and ensure
equality, which could not be seen as an affront to the values
and traditions of the Arab and Islamic ancient!
9- Wanted Iraq to be a regional superpower, possess weapons of
mass destruction and a factor of balance with the Israeli forces
and defying its arrogance, what was the great international.
10- It is true that he spent money on construction projects
uncontrollably, but he did not looted one cent, did not allow
any of his officials to have accounts in foreign banks, thus
many of the campus activists and nationalists to take advantage
of their funds and the proceeds.
Not so for a fair trial of such crimes to take into
consideration? Such a criminal, deserves dictator and tyrant
deserves executions 20th time.
Nevertheless, there is a reason to keep alive:
* Torturing him in a tour around Iraq, to see with his own eyes
the bodies that are burning in the Interior Ministry.
* To see how many university professors are still alive in Iraq.
* To see how hospitals are functioning.
* To see displaced children who have returned to selling
cigarettes in the streets.
* To see how houses get few hours of electricity per day, after
spending 2 billion dollars on "reconstruction "projects.
* To see how billions to convert external accounts for scrap
deals,
* To see ethnic massacres that killing dozens daily,
* To see what remains of the rights of the "noble women"
* To see how can self-govern become as separation.
* To see parties calling itself the "Shiite" and "Sunni" and
says they are "non-sectarian."
* To see how dead bodies being displayed.
* To see with your own eyes what democracy means.
Then, he will die with tears in his eyes saddened; he will die
with a heart attack.
But he will know that he wasn’t a dictator is sufficiently; the
Iraqis deserves the occupation.
