The Barbaric Lynching of
President Saddam Hussein
Press Statement
By Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad
01/01/07 "Global
Research" -- -- On the Holy day of Eid,
the world watched in horror at the barbaric lynching of
President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, allegedly for crimes
against humanity. This public murder was sanctioned by
the War Criminals, President Bush and Prime Minister
Blair.
This sadistic act broadcasted to the whole world is a
travesty of justice, and was meant to demonstrate the
imperial power of the United States and serves as a
warning to peace loving peoples that we must either bow
to the dictates of the Bush regime or face the
consequences of a public lynching.
The lynching was also an insult to all Muslims, as it
occurred on the Holy Day of Eid, whereby Muslims devote
themselves to prayer and forgiveness. It is all too
clear that the war criminal Bush has no sensitivities
whatsoever for Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca.
This barbaric act is a sacrilege!
The entire trial process was a mockery of justice, no
less a Kangaroo Court. Defence counsels were brutally
murdered, witnesses threatened and judges removed for
being impartial and replaced by puppet judges. Yet, we
are told that Iraq was invaded to promote democracy,
freedom and justice.
A peaceful country has now been turned into a war zone.
Over 500,000 children died as a result of the criminal
economic sanctions, and the latest findings by the
medical journal, Lancet reveals that over 650,000 Iraqis
have died since the illegal invasion of 2003.
The War Criminal Bush has killed more Iraqis than
President Saddam ever did, if in fact he was guilty of
any crime. If President Saddam Hussein is guilty of war
crimes, then the world must find Bush, Blair and Howard
equally guilty and the International Criminal Court
cannot but prosecute these war criminals. The inaction
thus far by the International Criminal Court against
Bush, Blair and Howard exposes the double standard of
the said Court, when it does not hesitate to prosecute
war crimes committed in Dalfur, Rwanda and Kosovo.
If we support human rights and justice, we must condemn
this barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein.
There can be no excuse whatsoever for this injustice
under any circumstances. War Criminal Bush and the
puppet regime in Iraq have made a mockery of the Rule of
Law.
