The trial of Saddam Hussein has often appeared more like a farce. Instead of bringing closure and healing to his people, it seems to be driving Iraqis further apart.
In the Sunni area of Azamiya, everyone thinks the trial is a joke. There s nothing legal about this trial. There s no legitimacy. The first judge resigned after repeated criticism that he was too soft, the defence team boycotted court after being manhandled and two lawyers have been murdered. Even the British lawyer who trained the judges have concerns about whether the trial is fair.

    @Sc0ut op unfortunately, American foreign policy is ass. Because of that we will always have enemies in the Middle East. You’d think we would have learned with: 1. Jalaluddin Haqqani was given cash directly from the CIA. He was the leader of the Haqqani Network an Afghani Anti United States insurgent group. 2. People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI) Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 3. The Peshawar Seven and an anti United States alliance of seven independent groups. Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 4. Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Pakistani Intelligence group the US used to arm and funnel money through that went to mujahedin. 5. The Baathist Party, which the CIA helped to overthrow the Iraqi government which is how Saddam Hussein rose to power in the first place. 6. Taliban Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 7. Al-Qaeda Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 8. Hezbollah Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 9. People’s Defense Forces (YPG) Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 10. Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 11. Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) Armed, trained, funded and advised by the United States government. 12. Abu Azrael a leader in the Kataib al-Imam Ali, an Iraqi Shi'a militia group of the Popular Mobilization Forces. His group was initially trained by Hezbollah. He decided to be put the gun and become a soldier about 17 years ago. His main enemy being the UNITED STATES. He still says he’s a jihadist. The United States over looks that because he’s Shia. Which Isis is jihadist group but they’re Sunni. That’s not even all groups by any stretch of the imagination or even the majority. How can you win a war against an enemy that you’re arming, training and funding? Most of these groups are also supported by Iran and Hezbollah. Makes absolutely no sense. Treason. People also think we entered this region for oil, which is only half of the reason. This is the number one opium producing region in the world. No surprise some of the very first things we did was fund the rebuilding, physically help with the rebuilding and even having our boots on the group guarding poppy farms which these jihadist groups destroyed. Which of course what is opium derived from? Poppies and of course the other opiates from heroin to pain pills is derived from opium. No surprise the streets in the United States were flooded with opiates and that there was an “epidemic” of opiate addiction. Much like what happened with the coke in the 80s. We never should have gotten involved in the Middle East. The reason we started was because we fear Soviet influence in that region. All these groups at one point or another we’re considering to be “freedom fighters” and we funded, trained, armed and advised them because we assumed we could get them to fight a proxy war against the soviets. Regardless of our involvement they would have fought soviets for the same reason they fight us. The interests/priorities and values of that region don’t line up with ANY group that isn’t muslim. Even then they war amongst each other and it’s been that constant conflict since the conception of Islam going on 1500 years ago. The Sunni and Shia fight fight and kill each other then you have those who follow Wahhabism, Sufism and Quranism, Alawis, Zaidiyyah, Khawarij, Maliki, Salafi, Ahmadiyyah which aren’t even all the sects of Islam. They kill Christians even in that region whether they Practice Catholicism, Orthodox, Protestantism or Coptic or any denomination these sects, same with those who practice Judaism regardless of they’re Haredi, Orthodox, Reformed or Messianic and they even persecute people like the Yazidi and really all Kurds as a whole. This will never stop. I. Their spiritual beliefs and practices is the issue Coexistence is not truly taught and moderate Islam is a western created concept that only exists in the minds of westerners. The majority which have never read the Qu’ran once or know any of the what 2700 hadiths and various other traditions? Nothing we can do will help that area. It’s not possible unless the United States is prepared to fall under the banner of Islam.

    @kepler galileo maybe 1% of “Christians” follow scripture and the God of the scripture. This is very easy to prove and it’s unfortunate. They place the ecclesiastical laws and traditions created by men over the inspired word and commandments of God. They don’t even follow the easiest commandments to follow. For example the easiest of commandments “remember the sabbath day and keep it holy” they don’t observe and follow the sabbath they follow the sun day. Which the sabbath and sun day are two different things on two different days. On March 7th in the year 321AD the Roman Emperor Constantine changed the day Christians were to observe the day of rest. He moved it from the 7th day of the week as scripture calls for and he moved it to the 1st day of the week. He called it “sun day” and declared it to be the “venerated day of the sun” Since March 7th in the year 321AD Christians have kept the tradition of following this venerated day of the sun on the 1st day of the week. Better yet the Catholic Church has addressed this very openly and for centuries. Their position is simple: anyone who observes the venerated day is the sun on the first of the week not the sabbath on the seventh is acknowledging the Catholic Church as having and being God’s authority on earth. Their logic is also simple. They says this because they ask the question “who else could change the day of the sabbath except for God or one with his authority?” Since Constantine did which The Roman Catholic Church says he had the authority to do. That only means one thing. Which when you bring this and the facts up to Protestants they rage and say “IT DOESN’T MATTER! THAT DOESN’T APPLY TO ME! I’M NOT CATHOLIC! I DON’T FOLLOW THE POPE HE ISN’T MY GOD” Which is funny and entirely irrelevant as long as they follow false doctrine and traditions that were either entirely fabricated by or borrowed from pagans and incorporated into the faith by the Catholic Church.

    @@cvsp3rlxc921 Hezbollah wasn't trained or funded by the United States and there's a difference between Jihadists. The origins of Hezbollah go back to 1982 were it began to form as a movement and it wouldn't be until 1985 that they are fully formed and ready to declare themselves. Hezbollah during it's "embryo phase" was cooperating with Leftist groups in Lebanon who are members of JAMMOUL "The Lebanese National Resistance Fronts" and some of Hezbollah's early operations were claimed by them. Hezbollah wasn't the organisation responsible for bombing the American embassy and the USMC and French Paratroopers barracks in 1983 but they weren't sad about it (and if it wasn't Hezbollah or IJO who did it then maybe some socialist group would have done it because at that point the American "Peacekeepers" started picking sides in the civil war by bombing socialist forces in Mount Lebanon). So Hezbollah was never trained by the United States and the United States spent the early 2000s trying to intimidate the Lebanese President (who's a Maronite Christian and at that time was Emile Lahoud) to disarm Hezbollah and strike them but he'd respond with "they're our George Washington and their faces should be printed on the Lebanese pound" Now to Jihad. Jihad means to strive and it's not only armed,it's whatever a Muslim man or woman or child do to help their community,their society,their country for example a teacher who's talking about saving the.environment is a Jihadist in that sense. Armed Jihad is to deter and invader and protect Muslims against persecution and genocide. Jihad has rules and those are of Islamic Warfare which forbid in religion most if not all the things that ISIS and Al Qaeda do. Hezbollah follow these rules and Hezbollah condemns attacks such as 9/11 or even the recent attacks in France and says that those actions disrespect Islam just like the cartoons. So you have 2 perspective of Jihad and many Sunnis stand by the "strive for the better and defend the land and the population" perspective while people who support ISIS and co are called Takfiris (those who call others as Kafirs or infidels). Also The USA doesn't turn a blind eye on shia Muslims at all,they tried everything to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon and they still do while in Iraq they killed Qassim Suleimani and Abou Mahdi al Muhandis who are the duo that orchestrated the defeat of ISIS in Iraq and the breaking of it's military structure there and in general. Those are different from Al Qaeda,Taliban and so on while Saddam's government was supported by the west in order to contain Iran,knowing full well it will destroy Iraq as well which is also a win considering they also didn't want a strong Saddamist Iraq. American policy is basically funding something that will come around and bite them then having to get rid off it before doing the same thing again while those groups formed without American help would be diplomatically attacked by America. Hezbollah is a political party in Lebanon and is adored by many Lebanese from Shia to Sunnis to Christians,they fought Al Qaeda and ISIS with the Syrian and Lebanese armies all while condemning terrorist attacks on the west. They don't seem like terrorists to me and although they used suicide attacks,it was against military targets during Israeli occupation of south Lebanon. Hezbollah is only considered terrorist because they are against Israel and against American imperialism in the region so please recheck that bit of information you have since the USA has 0 advantage in funding Hezbollah at all especially when they had the Gemayel brothers as presidents back in the 80s

    As someone that served in the American military, I've met many of civilians and service members across the political spectrum that have pretty strong opposition to the fact that we invaded Iraq on the premises of weapons of mass destruction and overthrowing a dictator. The guy and his Entourage were definite bastards, however the entire region clearly became unstable when his regime was removed from power. Far more death, tragedy, and Carnage has occurred after our own government's "regime change" wars. There is so much more evidence to prove that the Middle East was better off with Saddam in power. We should not be meddling around in worldly affairs that have absolutely nothing to do with us. Nor should we have this expectation that our culture and laws need to be shared by everyone on the planet. Our government and the major media corporations refuse to see it that way, but most Americans are also too blind and lazy to even do anything about it.

    It's easy for people to judge the Iraqis who conducted this trial negatively. Yes, legally speaking, it was a terrible example of a trial. However, given what he did to his citizens for all those years, i am inclined to let Iraqis judge their own actions. Only Iraqis who lived under Hussain can really understand this situation fully. It's obviously one in which they wanted cathartic vengeance. I'm not going to judge it.

He consistently left the majority of his people bereft. And his sons, particularly Uday were notoriously cruel and loved to flaunt it wherever they went to the people around them.@@ozmond

    Mansour Zayer, lives in Tehran, Iran I was born in a small Kurdish town in a Sunni community and Im currently living in Tehran. Althogh I'm now an atheist, I used to have some faith. In school we had to read the same islamic book as Shia. Although they sound similar, they have very big differences. So we were pretty familiar with everything about Shia. My senior year in high school, we had a teacher for religious studies who was very radical and would sometimes even allude to killing Shias like any other enemy of Islam. But other teachers were ok. Overall we Sunnis (by birth) were ok about Shia guys and I used to think being Sunni to a Shia as ok too, untill I went to university. In university I saw some vulgar reactions to being Sunni. Some guys would ask me if I was Sunni in a tone similar to asking someone if they are allien. Some of my Shia friends told me stories of how their highschool religious teachers spreaded hatred towards Sunnis and their holly figures. By law, a Sunni can't become president in Iran. To tell you my opinion, the government is fond of separation between people. Divide and conquer. But people are less engaged in religious conflicts

    What is funny to me is that the replies to my comment are exactly why I made my comment. Some of us know law and what it should be no matter who is on trial. Your personal opinions like sarcasm, judgement and uncaring natures are why you are not judges. Leave personal feelings at the door.

    No way, Saddam wouldn't want to be away from a place he still had influence. His ability to shout and scream during the trial etc is his way of throwing a smokescreen, and like Trump in a way, gives him the ability to pander to his base supporters more convincingly.

    I agree with you to the extent that removing Saddam from power was the biggest mistake the US made. We had no problem propping him up when it was convenient for us during the Iraq - Iran war. It was his hegemony that leveled the balance of power in the Middle East and Iranians in check; they sure didn't talk about getting their hands on WMD's, nuclear or other. Here we are 20 odd years later with nothing to show for our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan but massive losses of revenue and lives. May G-D Bless America nonetheless.
