Lynching Saddam – Part 8: “just after the court ruling”

Lynching Saddam – Part 8: “just after the court ruling”
By Gabriele Zamparini (*)

The man chose by New Iraq’s Founding Fathers Bloody George and Bloody Tony to lead the New Democracy just welcomed by the International Community of hyenas and vultures (1), Puppet Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, recently said that the so-called “trial” of Saddam Hussein “will not take longer and his execution for the crimes he committed will come soon just after the court ruling.” (2)

Showing respect for that notorious Democratic Process wanted by his principals “Maliki stressed that if Iraqi President Jalal Talabani refused to sign the death sentence, his two deputies will do the job”

This is the so-called Iraqi government (sic!) that according to the UN and major Western human rights NGOs should investigate on the kidnapping, torture and brutal killing of three Saddam Hussein’s lawyers and provide security to the survivors in Saddam Hussein’s defence team.

Green Zone’s Puppet Prime Minister Maliki may know just a couple of minutes in advance when and how presidents and prime ministers flying from abroad appear in front of him but he certainly has no doubts that “There is no resistance in Iraq, but political terrorism led by the Baath party which possesses money, experience and can mobilize extremists and use them... There is also the terrorism of gangs who are hired for stealing and killing”.

Maliki, his thugs and his principals can count on the omertà and complicity of that International Community (sic!) that plundered Iraq in the most savage, ruthless and barbarian invasion of our times.

However, in this dark panorama of planetary wilderness, it’s also sad to see much part of the Western anti-war movement lost after this and that particular war crime but completely indifferent to the destiny of Iraq and its legitimate president. Whatever motivation lies behind personal and political opinions on his regime, Saddam Hussein and his barbarian lynching are at the very centre of this international scandal, the “war of aggression [invasion and occupation of Iraq, that] constitutes a crime against the peace, for which there is responsibility under international law.” (3)

This “war of aggression” is a POISONED TREE and ALL ITS FRUITS must be rejected, according to Art.1 of the UN Charter:

Article 1 - The Purposes of the United Nations are:

1. To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;

2. To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;

3. To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and

4. To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

Instead of patronizing and perpetuating colonialism, we must finally apply the principles of international Law to ourselves as a cure against our endemic racism. IT’S UPON THE IRAQI PEOPLE to decide the destiny of THEIR OWN COUNTRY together with the destiny of THEIR OWN PRESIDENT Saddam Hussein. This can only be accomplished once the Iraqi People take THEIR OWN COUNTRY back from the foreign invaders that committed the “crime against the peace”, the “war of aggression” against Iraq. The IRAQI RESISTANCE is recognized by international Law and it’s the only subject that can legitimately exercise the SOVEREIGNTY OF IRAQ. We all in the Anti-war and Anti-occupation movement must SUPPORT the IRAQI PEOPLE’S JUST STRUGGLE for freedom and independence AGAINST the US-led illegal invasion-occupation of a Member State of OUR Community and bring those responsible for this “crime against the peace” to Justice.

In this frame, the lynching of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is going on surrounded by a deafening, guilty silence.
