When former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was hanged 15 years ago and his tomb was blown up in 2015 between Iraqi government forces and the Islamic State forces, the end of a generation of tyrants in the Arab world is truly lamentable.
So what was the fate of the Iraqi state justice Abdel Rahman, who sentenced Saddam Hussein to death?
The once-famous justice was born in Halabja, a major kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq, to parents and family relatives who were mostly farmers.
Rahman was a top student with good character and excellent learning since he was a child, and all the towns in the ten miles and eight townships regarded him as the hope of the whole village, and on the day he was admitted to the Law School of the University of Baghdad, his relatives and friends slaughtered chickens and sheep for him, and Rahman's parents were happier than marrying their daughter-in-law.
After graduation, with a clever mind and a tenacious character, coupled with a deep study of the law, Rahman finally reached the peak of his life through his unremitting efforts.
For all Iraqis studying law, the position of national justice will be the ultimate dream of life, and Rahman's possession of this title at the age of 59 has allowed him to create extraordinary achievements.
The fulfillment of a professional ideal that many people could not dream of, should have brought infinite glory to the justice who came out of the town, but fate sometimes really deliberately tricked, Rahman did not expect that a century trial would completely change his life.
When the Iraq War broke out in 2003, the United States led its allies to completely destabilize and destroy an already prosperous Iraq.
In less than a year, the country that was once the richest Arab country has become devastated, and the people have watched with mixed emotions as American tanks drive towards the presidential residence.
When President Saddam Hussein was captured by the U.S. military from the cellars of Tikrit, all eyes of the world were focused on the trial of the century, the United States was going to kill Saddam, and the Iraqi people were expecting peace and tranquility in the country.
Everyone knows that the trial was a public performance brought to the world by the democratic and liberal United States, but the trial process was unexpected.
Possessing weapons of mass destruction poses a serious threat to the Arab world, and these high-sounding reasons even a 3-year-old child knows that it is a crime of want, so the presiding judge could not convict Saddam Hussein during the trial.
When both presiding judges were removed for various "inept performances" and Saddam's lawyers were frequently kidnapped and murdered, the world has embraced the mentality of watching the drama to see how the United States will end up.
The baton of history was unexpectedly handed over to Rahman, and the reason why the United States chose to make Rahman the presiding judge began with his grudge with Saddam Hussein.
More precisely, Rahman and Saddam actually had a deep vendetta. When the Iran-Iraq War came to an end in 1988, Iraqi and Iranian forces fought a final battle in Rahman's hometown of the Kurdish Autonomous Region.
Because the Kurds in Iraq are inextricably linked to Iran in history, Saddam Hussein has always suspected that the Kurdish region is infiltrated with a large number of Iranian forces, so he has launched several armed repressions of the Kurdish region.
The final battle of the Iran-Iraq War took place in Rahman's birthplace of Harabja, when Iraqi government forces fired poison gas bombs at Al-Harabja in order to eliminate Iranian officers and soldiers hiding in Halabja, killing more than 5,000 people, an action that Saddam Hussein allowed.
Many of Rahman's relatives and friends died in the incident, including his two most beloved daughters. Rahman could not get out of his wounds for 18 years, so when the U.S. military threw an olive branch at him and demanded that he sentence Saddam Hussein to death in the trial of the century according to the will of the United States, Rahman felt that Heaven had finally given him a chance to hand blade his enemies.
Of course, Rahman can sit in today's position, the city government and the heart are still in place, he knows that his personal execution of Saddam Hussein will definitely attract revenge from Saddam's followers, so he and the Americans to fight for as many favorable conditions as possible, such as his wife and daughter following him to move to the United States to live, such as the United States needs to provide him with enough wealth to spend the rest of his life.
Eager to end the trial, the United States agreed to Rahman's offer, so Rahman quickly made a final verdict after becoming the presiding judge, and Saddam Hussein was sentenced to hanging for deliberate murder and crimes against humanity, and the execution was placed on the important holiday of the Muslim nation, Eid al-Adha.
Thousands of viewers around the world watched the telecast of Saddam's execution, and the Americans were relieved and Rahman was relieved. He helped the United States get rid of the big problem, and also comforted the spirit of his two daughters in heaven, and the happy and beautiful life has beckoned to him not far ahead.
As the old saying goes, it's better to believe that there are ghosts in the world than to believe in the mouths of Americans. Rahman was full of hope that he would spend the rest of his life soaking up the sun on the beaches of Hawaii, but his dreams were disillusioned the moment Saddam Hussein died.
Americans say that because of political and security concerns, Rahman must first live in Britain for a period of time and then go to the United States when the situation stabilizes.
Due to the sharp domestic situation in Iraq after Saddam's death, and the large number of supporters that Saddam Hussein already had, even if Rahman fled to Britain, he would still be threatened with death every day.
The British government is not a charity, and seeing that Rahman could pose a serious security risk to britain, they ruthlessly deported Rahman.
Treated as a national sinner in Iraq and beaten up by the Americans, Rahman cried in the toilet on countless nights, demanding that the Americans fulfill their promises as soon as possible, but receiving endless messages that the other side's phones had stopped and could not be read back.
Coming out of a small mountain village and becoming a national justice, Rahman's first half of life was inspirational and dreamy. But when he is filled with the anger of revenge and loses the most basic fairness and justice of the law to make a deal with the United States, what awaits him in the end is doomed to a tragic end.
In 2014, Rahman, disguised as a dancer, tried to escape back to his hometown of Halabja, but was captured by Islamic State soldiers on the way, and the agitated fighters did not hesitate to shoot him after discovering that he was the justice who executed Saddam Hussein.
I don't know what kind of mentality Rahman will have in the other world, maybe he will join Saddam Hussein in denouncing the United States, or maybe he will confess to the former president for what he has done.
