Since ancient beauties are like famous generals, they are not allowed to see white heads in the world, and the political tycoons who have been in the limelight in the past years have no eyes in the last days of their lives, their backs are rickety, and they are breathing heavily.
This comparison between before and after is really sad, and the former President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, as a party, has a calm look and calmly rushes to an unknown fate.
Saddam Hussein
Since ancient times, the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and now that he has become a prisoner of the order, he naturally cannot find his former glory, and there is nothing to regret.
As a key interrogation target in the United States, he has been held in a prison in Baghdad and suffered inhuman torture. For him, death is the established fate and the liberation of life.
So when he learned that death was coming, his heart was as calm as when he was the Iraqi boss. The night before his death, he had been tortured in the detention center all night, his thin limbs almost unable to support his crumbling body.
He asked the jailer to bring a sentence to his daughter, which was the truest thought in his heart and the reason why he died calmly.
How did Saddam Hussein go from being a beautiful president to being a prisoner of the Americans?
What was his last word to his daughter?
Searching around, there was no sign
On April 8, 2003, the United States and Britain officially occupied Iraq, and the second Gulf War finally came to an end. The victory in front of him did not bring any joy to the face of the army leader, and he revealed an anxious mood all over his body, and his eyes were aimlessly strafing in all directions, as if he was looking for someone.
It only makes sense to seize this person and occupy Iraq, otherwise this war will be unknown and will be questioned by the United Nations Security Council sooner or later.
Only this person can make this unjustified war of aggression justified and help the United States get rid of the possible suspicions that may exist in the body.
This person is the former President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein.
Saddam Hussein
In fact, a long time ago, Saddam Hussein was propped up by the United States. The calculation in the minds of the Americans is to train Saddam Hussein to be a puppet of Iraq and thus directly control the Iraqi regime.
But they didn't expect that they thought that an obedient dog came up on the stage, but in fact the other side was a wolf with hidden fangs.
Even if Saddam Hussein is no longer in the pocket, he does not want the entire Iraqi country to become a tool of the United States, not to mention that he is not a man with no ambition, and he is bent on building Iraq into a better country.
So as his wings grew stronger, he planned step by step to try to get rid of American control.
Things went beyond expectations, and Saddam's actions were tantamount to a slap in the face of the U.S. government. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with Iraq's quest for independence, in the eyes of the Americans, they have become sinners who rebel against themselves.
George W. Bush
So in 2003, U.S. President George W. Bush publicly declared that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, which posed an extremely serious threat, and that they would join Britain in interfering in Iraq's political situation out of righteous defense. Then the second Gulf War broke out, and a new round of war swept through Iraq.
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the American and British coalition forces soon captured the cities one after another, directly occupying the central system of Iraq. But at this moment, the Saddam Hussein they were most looking for was missing.
In order to prevent the snake, the Americans secretly sent people to find them, while secretly controlling Saddam's relatives and friends. The then leader of the American and British coalition forces said:
"I don't believe that these people are hard bones, and under the whip, even the most powerful people have to speak." We've laid a net and Saddam Hussein has nowhere to escape. ”
But they were mistaken, how could someone as cautious as Saddam Hussein casually tell his friends and relatives where he was going? From these populations, they only got the whereabouts of Saddam's two sons.
However, these two sons have undergone severe training since they were young, and they know what they cannot say, so even if they are physically tortured, they always clench their teeth:
"You will die this heart, our brothers do not know where our father went, and we want to get a word from us."
"You are his most trusted son, and no one under the heavens may know his whereabouts, but you two must know."
Uday Hussein Kusai Hussein
Even if the US military made up its mind to pry open the teeth of the brothers, even if the means were vicious and sinister, they eventually failed. Saddam's two sons were dying, as if they had put their lives on the line, and the only belief that held them up for breath was that they had not heard the news that their father was safe.
After a whole week of torture, the Americans finally confessed their fate, and they could not hear anything from the two boys. They simply changed their ways, continuing to send people to keep an eye on the routes of private visits, keeping an eye on suspicious people at all times.
The Americans controlled the Iraqi regime almost single-handedly, and many Iraqi civilians were seduced by the US military to regard Saddam Hussein as a flood beast. Under such a desperate situation, how long Saddam Hussein can hide is unclear.
Discern the plan and remain silent
For the next eight months, Americans searched for Saddam Hussein without giving up.
Such a once-illustrious president, as if suddenly evaporated from the world, let the enemy search every corner, he also disappeared. The U.S. military even wondered if he had smuggled out of the country.
Saddam Hussein
Their suspicion was finally shattered by a sneaky driver. Agents in the U.S. military found that there was a driver near Tikrit who would regularly arrive in the city, but he was always the only one who got off the bus, looking bright and upright, but in fact there seemed to be a hidden secret behind it.
U.S. troops suspect that the driver was in direct contact with Saddam. But when they caught the driver and tortured him, the other side bluntly said that he had never seen Saddam Hussein and that he was only in contact with an official who was often seen on television. Could this man be a close associate of Saddam's side?
They followed the vine and set a trap to catch Saddam's cronies. The man could not bear the whip that had fallen on his body and hurriedly spoke:
"Tikrit is his hometown, and he returned here the first time he escaped. However, he usually lives in seclusion and should now stay in Daval Town all the time. ”
"You'd better make sure what you say is true, and if we can't find him in Daval, send him on your way with the dead American soldiers."
Saddam did appear in the town of Dawar, but this person did not seem to be Saddam.
Not only that, after the US military found the first Saddam, a succession of Saddam Hussein appeared in front of them. Paradoxically, foggy, people can't see the truth.
After being turned around for a few days, the US military suddenly realized that these people were not Saddam Hussein at all, and everything was a blind spot set up by him.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and he himself must still be hiding in the town of Daval. Now that this direction has been determined, the US military will continue to search according to this line of thinking.
At the end of December, the U.S. military finally found Saddam Hussein in a farmhouse in the town of Daval.
When I first saw him, the enemy didn't even dare to recognize him. That Saddam Hussein, in a suit and shoes, talked on the podium, even if his hair was gray, his eyes were still full of essence, and the whole person looked radiant.
But they now saw Saddam Hussein, with dry and frizzy hair and a hunched back, hiding in a small corner, as if he were not seeing.
The contrast between before and after is so great, if you don't see the relic on him, who dares to believe that such two very different temperaments will appear in the same person? It was as if he had suddenly fallen from heaven to the ground, and all the vitality on his body had been thrown off.
After successfully capturing Saddam, the Americans imprisoned him in Baghdad. When he entered the door, Saddam Hussein, who had been silent for several days, suddenly spoke:
"I know what you want to do, the so-called weapons of mass destruction were originally invented by you, but now you want to turn fake things into reality, right?" Trouble you go back and tell your boss that what is fake is false and can never become real. ”
"Rest assured, what you said today, I will report it verbatim."
After putting down his harsh words, Saddam Hussein was silent. He quickly adapted to the dark and damp environment of the prison, and he was not picky about the bad food, and when he was tied to the torture rack, he only endured it silently, and if it were not for the extreme pain, he would not even let out a cry of pain.
The style of a country's leaders in the past has now been tormented by the scourge of imprisonment. But even though Saddam Hussein has fallen to the extreme, we can still see in him the spirit of unyielding resistance.
For three years, he gritted his teeth and endured countless cruel punishments, and lived a life of not knowing how long black and white could not be distinguished, but he never confessed to this false accusation, did not obey the will of the United States, and got the opportunity to live secretly.
His greatest daily pastime was to hold a copy of the Quran and read it carefully.
All negative emotions that arise in this dark environment can be gradually dissolved in the course of reading. He can accept all suffering calmly and take it all as the only way for asceticism in his life.
By the end, the Americans had lost patience with him, and his life and death had lost their meaning. Saddam Hussein knew that the last day was coming. Some special circumstances will be staged slowly.
December 29, 2006, a seemingly ordinary day, was the end of Saddam Hussein's world. When he saw the prison guards take out the tools associated with the gallows, he knew that the last day had come.
He thought that when death came, any righteous and awe-inspiring person would inevitably harbor fear in his heart, but in fact he asked himself, and his heart was filled with emotions of liberation.
The years spent in prison cost him all his dignity as a human being, let alone a man who had once had unlimited scenery. The taste of falling into the mud and dust, how strong the psychology can bear.
But on the last night before his execution, Saddam Hussein's life was not easy.
Perhaps thinking that this was the last chance to torture him, the Americans who arrived that night showed no mercy. They stripped him of all his clothes, and all kinds of terrible instruments of torture greeted him. The physical pain is not the most terrible, the most frightening thing is the psychological torture.
They kicked him to the ground, stomped his head with their feet, insulted him so much that they even spat on him. On this night, the guards of the Baghdad prison exposed all their low qualities. Their faces are as vicious as the devil, and their actions are all recorded in history like clowns.
While lying on the ground dying, Saddam Hussein had not forgotten to put harsh words in his mouth.
"Come on! Whatever you want, this is your last chance. From birth to death, I have not lost my last dignity as an Iraqi, someone wants to be your dog, but I live on your head until death. ”
The fierceness suppressed by the Qur'an seems to have a tendency to emerge again, but it is forcibly suppressed by Saddam Hussein himself.
In the early hours of the morning, Saddam Hussein, who looked even more discouraged, was dragged to the gallows. Looking around, the people standing in front of him were all people who came to see his jokes, and even the Iraqi people who had his heart in mind.
The minds of these people have been completely blinded by the words of American politicians, so seeing this, Saddam Hussein has extra energy to worry about which direction Iraq should go in the future.
When the rope of the gallows was wrapped around his head, the U.S. troops expected to see what resembled a look of despair on his face. But unfortunately, as a fighter for Iraq to the end, Saddam Hussein will not let the enemy get what he wants.
From beginning to end, he was calm, no matter how disrespectful the people around him were, he always had a calm face.
At the end of his life, Saddam Hussein still had many regrets, but he did not regret it. To the enemy in front of him, to his own compatriots, he uttered the last words of his heart in this life:
"Iraq will fight to the end forever." Any country that tries to manipulate the Iraqi regime is bound to be met with a steady stream of resistance from Iraq.
After Saddam Hussein's death, a caretaker was entrusted by him to give his daughter, the Qur'an he often read. In this book, Saddam Hussein clips a note:
"I am a martyr who fought to the end for Iraq and the Iraqi people."
These were his last words to the world.
epilogue
No one likes war, but no righteous person will not defend his country in war. Whether it is Iraq or other countries, when the danger of the slave of the country appears in front of people's eyes, there will always be people who stand up and shout. They may use their lives to bloom a brilliant firework, just to leave the deepest impression and advice on their compatriots, calling on all to fight to the end for their own people.
