The whole bloody thing was obscene
Posted: Saturday, January 6, 2007 Robert Fisk: The whole bloody thing was obscene
"The lynching of Saddam Hussein - for that is what we are talking about - will turn out to be one of the determining moments in the whole shameful crusade upon which the West embarked in March of 2003. Only the president-governor George Bush and Lord Blair of Kut al-Amara could have devised a militia administration in Iraq so murderous and so immoral that the most ruthless mass murderer in the Middle East could end his days on the gallows as a figure of nobility, scalding his hooded killers for their lack of manhood and - in his last seconds - reminding the thug who told him to "go to hell" that the hell was now Iraq."
"And just who exactly were those leather-jacketed hangmen last week, by the way? No one, it seemed, bothered to ask this salient question. Who chose them? Al-Maliki's militia chums? Or the Americans who managed the whole roadshow from the start, who so organised Saddam's trial that he was never allowed to reveal details of his friendly relations with three US administrations - and thus took the secrets of the murderous, decade-long Baghdad-Washington military alliance to his grave?"
The most ruthless mass-murderer in the Middle East is undoubtedly George W. Bush. He is followed by previous U.S., Israeli and British governments that caused, directly and indirectly, all the killings in the Middle East. Saddam comes in way below the Bushes and other Israeli, U.S. and UK governments. --Ayinde
