Kuwait & Saddam

It actually made me sad watching Saddam Hussein being executed. I not only found myself opposing the death penalty for the first time (probably because its the first time time i see a real execution), but i also felt as if i (a Kuwaiti) was being robbed of justice.

I wanted to see Saddam tried for every single rape, torture, and murder he was responsible for on Kuwait.

The torture and execution of Shurouq's father.

The torture and rape of Ghazi, my friend.

I wanted to see him tried for the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds-- Halabcha.

For mass executions.

Kidnappings.

The annexation of Kuwait.

Environmental catastrophes caused by the burning of our oil wells.

Deformed children of Iraq and Iran.

Mustard gas.

I wanted to see he his bank accounts frozen and all his wealth given to every single family that was affected by his tyranny (if such wealth exists).

I wanted him to apologize, and truely be sorry.

I wanted him to be humiliated.

And then die a slow and painful (natural) death.

Same here...He got out easy

No Iraqi official now will be on trial for the crimes committed against Kuwaitis. With the death of Saddam dies any hope for justice for those families who are still waiting for answers about their missing and dead loved ones.

Its unfair to presume that we are the only victims of Saddam but every criminal should be judged on ALL of his crimes.

الله اهون على والدين وابناء وازواج واخوان كل من تضرر من صدامو
