On the execution of Saddam Hussein
This morning Saddam Hussein, the former dictator of Iraq, was hanged on
the orders of the US government and its hand-made ethnic-religious regime.
For around 30 years, Saddam’s regime was a symbol of the most criminal and
repressive dictatorships in history, claiming countless victims. The
repression, brutality and tyranny of the Ba’ath regime caused enormous
suffering for the people of Iraq, in particular political opponents,
labour activists, communists and ethnic and religious minorities. Tens of
thousands of people were tortured, executed and eliminated under that
regime or brutally massacred by chemical bombs and other means. The
atrocities of Saddam’s regime are truly beyond description and will never
be forgotten.
However, Saddam’s execution is not the end of repression, violence or
brutality. He was not overthrown and executed for his atrocities and
cruelty. He was reared by forces which represent a repressive and inhuman
system. They did not even allow his countless crimes to be revealed in a
tribunal. Just like the trial of Milosevic and similar trials of the
vanquished by victors, Saddam’s trial and punishment was totally political
and served the interests of the US government and its allies in the
region. There was not the slightest shred of justice or search for the
truth in this trial. He was tried in a sham court, which in no way met the
criterion for the trial of one of the world’s biggest criminals. Saddam’s
trial could have exposed many politicians in the West and the Middle East
who collaborated with him, and this is what they prevented. He was
sacrificed so as to assert the unquestioning might of the American New
Order to the world and its rivals; so as to bring the post-cold war world
under the sway of the American New Order. The message of Saddam’s
execution to humanity was that the US-created ethnic and religious regime
in Iraq is essentially the same kind of dictatorship as Saddam’s.
The West’s full support for Saddam’s 30-year rule, its military attack on
Iraq and destruction of civil life, and, finally, the trial and execution
of Saddam exposed the deceitful democracy of the Western governments, in
particular the US government. Despite the attempts of the US and its
allies to cover up, everyone saw the depth of hypocrisy of the Western
governments and the nature of their democracy. Saddam should have had a
fair and public trial. The files of his crimes and those of his local and
international supporters and collaborators should have been opened and
made public.
The Worker-communist Party of Iran condemns the execution of Saddam
Hussein. Execution is deliberate murder, a tool of states against people,
a means of covering up the real causes of violence, atrocity and
oppression, and institutionalisation of violence and vengeance. Saddam’s
execution was, moreover, the brutal declaration to the people of Iraq and
the world that violence, vengeance and denial of people’s rights will be
an integral part of the political system and the state in Iraq.
