Nanke's documentary article is really intriguing, today the editor will continue to write with ancient humorous strokes, let us explore the five doubts together!
Speaking of Saddam, he is also a peerless figure. It was 1979, and he became Iraq's new president. As soon as he came to power, he desperately developed oil resources, and the level of Iraq's economic development skyrocketed. The military aspect is even more incredible, with a large number of arms purchased, and Iraq's military strength is one of the best in the Middle East. Therefore, he is rightly called the "Lion of Babylon" by the Iraqi people.
But, hehe, after a long time, this Saddam's ambition began to swell. He wanted to rebuild the glory of the Arab Empire, and his eyes were on neighboring Kuwait. On 2 August 1990, he entered Kuwait with hundreds of thousands of Iraqi troops and occupied the small country in one fell swoop. The whole world was shocked and expressed strong opposition to Iraq's actions.
In particular, in order to protect its interests in the Middle East, the United States resolutely took the lead in organizing a multinational coalition and launched air strikes against Iraq. The Iraqi army was no match at all, and it was instantly beaten to the point where it could not find the north. In the end, Saddam had no choice but to withdraw his troops from Kuwait, and the first Gulf War ended in Iraq's defeat.
The foundation of Saddam's rule was so damaged that he had no choice but to take drastic measures to suppress the opposition. And the United States and other Western countries also smelled the sweetness of war and began to look for new opportunities for intervention in the Middle East. Hey? In 2001, the "911 incident" occurred in the United States, and now they have a better excuse to carry out the so-called "war on terror".
But from the very beginning, this "war on terror" quickly turned into a pretext for grabbing geopolitical interests. In order to control the Middle East region, the United States began to look for a pretext for invading Iraq, so Powell took out the so-called "weapons of mass destruction." Oh, this acting is too bad, most countries in the world don't buy it, but for their own interests, the United States still launched the Iraq War in 2003.
After the outbreak of the war, Saddam's regime quickly collapsed, and Saddam himself was captured by the US military. Well, just like that, Saddam Hussein, waiting for his last moments, was sentenced to death by the court that was formed.
On December 29, 2006, Saddam Hussein ushered in the last night of his life. He wanted to put his best foot forward that night, but the soldiers unceremoniously woke him up and mocked him. This made Saddam Hussein anxious, and his heart was furious, but he still chose to remain calm.
Not long after, another soldier came, still holding a rope in his hand, and provoked Saddam: "This rope is waiting for you!" The guards also came to provoke one after another, but Saddam Hussein still maintained his dignity as president, and was silent for a long time, not saying a word.
Finally, at six o'clock the next morning, Saddam Hussein was taken to the gallows by six black-covered, masked guards. He was 69 years old and did not wear prison uniforms or traditional Islamic robes, but instead wore a white shirt, black coat, black trousers and shoes. Just before leaving, he said to the camera: "Iraq is nothing without me!" ”
After Saddam's death, Iraq did not usher in a new chapter of "liberal democracy". On the contrary, the security situation has deteriorated, and a number of large-scale terrorist attacks have plunged Iraq into a state of tension. The political ecology is also in disarray, and Iraq's internal contradictions are becoming more and more acute.
Saddam's death did not bring stability and prosperity to Iraq, but plunged Iraq into chaos under the influence of the United States and Iran. The last words, "Iraq is nothing without me," illustrate Iraq's predicament today.
Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi people are victims of all this. Saddam may have been at fault for himself, but the internal affairs of the Iraqi people should have been resolved by themselves. The United States, on the other hand, is only pursuing its own interests under the pretext of counter-terrorism.
Today, Iraq is still facing enormous challenges, and we sincerely hope that Iraq will be able to get out of its predicament and achieve peace and prosperity at an early date.
"The strong have their own strong hands, and they are laughing and talking." May the comments we leave behind bring a glimmer of hope and strength to Iraq.
