Iraqis wait for Sadaam's execution
http://www.antimedia.us/posts/1167442791.shtml


   ....with [1]nervous anticipation, thinking that it will come before
   sunrise, the beginning of Eid Al-Adha.

     But it must be admitted, that there is haste to execute Saddam for
     reasons other than simply justice and revenge; there are political
     considerations. The Government wants to get this over and done with
     as quickly as possible to forestall any unforeseen impediments, and
     in order not give his followers and supporters time to plan
     something. Besides, Saddam is still a symbol for some, and you may
     remember the demonstrations in Diala, Salahuldin and elsewhere
     brandishing his photos and shouting the famous slogan âwith Souls,
     with Blood, we sacrifice our lives for youâ. And then there is the
     so-called âReturn Partyâ, which is a group of Baathist terrorists
     calling for the return of the Saddam regime under his leadership.
     Therefore, it is of political urgency to eliminate this symbol and
     put an end to any hopes and illusions of a return to the previous
     state of affairs. Due to the extreme personality cult that Saddam
     had cultivated, it would be difficult for "the enemy" to find a new
     convincing father figure. Also it is an act of defiance in the face
     of all the terrorists, the Bin Ladins & Co., the international
     chorus and etc. etc.; here we are stringing up your Saddam and you
     âcan ride your highest horsesâ as the Iraqi proverb goes. We are
     not afraid of your car bombs, suicide bombers, I.E.Dâs etc. etc.
     Anyway, I am too excited to talk more, and it is very late and I,
     like almost all Iraqis at this hour, cannot sleep and are all
     awaiting the awesome announcement at this eve of the Eid Al-Adha.

   By the time you rise in the morning, Sadaam may be dead. And the
   Baathists may realize, for the first time, that their reign of terror
   is over.
