Saddam’s death

Saddam Hussein (1937-2006), Iraqi President, responsible for many torturing, killings and of ordering the 1988 cleansing of Kurds in Northern Iraq. He was the man who was a blessing to Iraq for few years, later turned to be a tremor for the same people was sentenced to death by hanging, for the killing of 148 Shiites from Dujail, in retaliation for the assassination attempt of 8 July 1982. His death was an event of rejoice for the whole nation while USA gasped a sigh of relief after successfully discovering where he lied hidden after the endless efforts. Saddam had had a very troubled childhood and his strong likes and dislikes made him rule the nation the way he wanted while he barely considered anybody else’s words thus enjoying his power as a Dictator.
Saddam Hussein was accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, crimes against humanity during his time in office. He had crossed all limits of inhumane attitude in his thirst and craving for Power and he was into all sorts of atrocities, very much similar to Hitler with secret police, torture, murders, deportations, forced disappearances, targeted assassinations, chemical weapons, and the destruction of wetlands (more specifically, the destruction of the food sources of rival groups) were some of the methods Saddam Hussein used to maintain control. The total number of deaths related to torture and murder during this period is unknown, as are the reports of human rights violations. His hatred for Jews, Iranians, Shias resulted in him leading to mass murders and there was no one who could question him as he held all the powers and wanted to cleanse Iraq of all the religious groups he personally hated.
His list of horrifying decisions started from the the Halabja poison gas attack occurred in the period in 1988 during the Iran–Iraq War when chemical weapons were used by the Iraqi government forces and thousands civilians in the Iraqi Kurdish town of Halabja were killed. The Hussein regime began a campaign of extermination against the Kurdish people living in Northern Iraq.. The attacks resulted in the death of at least 50,000 (some reports estimate as many as 100,000 people, many of them women and children. There mass executions and disappearances of many tens of thousands of noncombatants, widespread use of chemical weapons including Sarin, mustard gas and nerve agents that killed thousands, the arbitrary imprisoning of tens of thousands of women, children, and elderly people for months in conditions of extreme deprivation, forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of villagers after the demolition of their homes, and the wholesale destruction of nearly two thousand villages along with their schools, mosques, farms, and power stations.In April 1991, after Saddam lost control of Kuwait in the Gulf War, he cracked down ruthlessly against several uprisings in the Kurdish north and the Shia south. His forces committed wholesale massacres and other gross human rights violations against both groups similar to the violations mentioned before. Estimates of deaths during that time range from 20,000 to 100,000 for Kurds, and 60,000 to 130,000 for Shi'iteAlso in April 2003, CNN revealed that it had withheld information about Iraq torturing journalists and Iraqi citizens in the 1990s. According to CNN's chief news executive, the channel had been concerned for the safety not only of its own staff, but also of Iraqi sources and informants, who could expect punishment for speaking freely to reporters. Also after the invasion, numerous torture centers were found in security offices and police stations throughout Iraq. The equipment found at these centers typically included hooks for hanging people by the hands for beatings, devices for electric shock, and other equipment often found in nations with harsh security services and other authoritarian nations. Uday Hussein (1964 - 2003), son of the president, had a private torture chamber and of the rapes and killings of many women. The appointed governor of Kuwait, ordered looting of stores and rapes of Kuwaiti women during his tenure and also ordered the destruction of Shi'a holy sites during the 1970s and 1980s as governor of two Iraqi provinces.
It goes without saying that Saddam Hussain gave a new impetus to Iraq with maximum of facilities by actively fostered the modernization of the Iraqi economy along with the creation of a strong security apparatus to prevent coups within the power structure and insurrections apart from it. Saddam established and controlled the "National Campaign for the Eradication of Illiteracy" The government also supported families of soldiers, granted free hospitalization to everyone, and gave subsidies to farmers. Iraq created one of the most modernized public-health systems in the Middle East, earning Saddam an award from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).To diversify the largely oil-based Iraqi economy, Saddam implemented a national infrastructure campaign that made great progress in building roads, promoting mining, and developing other industries
But the atrocities he gave in return and the fear he became for each and every citizen of Iraq while they enjoyed no freedom with a threat of being shot any moment, this indomitable leader deserved some punishment to the extremes. A man who believes in “Cleansing” a place of other innocent religious groups and can just sweep off thousands of people, then what wrong is it to offer him capital punishment? This is a caution else, every second leader will do anything he wants and use his power to actually Rule, more than Govern. The reaction of his punishment differed from nations to nations, while the first Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi National Assembly said "we expected the maximum penalty against the criminal Saddam Hussein and his henchmen because they committed horrible crimes against the Iraqi people, the Arabs, Muslims and the entire Western community. But Prime Minister Tony Blair stated that he is "against the death penalty, whether it is Saddam Hussein or anybody else."
But is it wrong to punish a human who got so intoxicated with power that he blindly killed millions of innocent lives, while a gun was like a toy to him and death penalty a game, then why isn’t the samething applicable to him??
