In mid-December 2003, the world's major media reported such explosive news: "Saddam Hussein was captured by the US military!" ”
For a time, the eyes of the whole world turned to Saddam Hussein, a complex figure who has many identities in his life: head of state, a generation of tyrants, the sworn enemy of the United States, and now, he is a prisoner of the United States, his fate is in the hands of the Americans, and death has become an inevitable end for Saddam.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the final judgment</h1>
But as for the end of Saddam Hussein, people waited for another three years, and in the past three years, the various forces have taken turns to play games, and Saddam Hussein stayed in the prison prepared for him by the US military, waiting for the last moment to come. On November 5, 2006, the court decided to make a final judgment on Saddam Hussein, and saddam was very dissatisfied with the judge who came to try him, and he constantly questioned in court: "What qualifications do you have to try me?" No one has that qualification! ”
But he has lost his former position of saying nothing, and no matter how tough his attitude is, it will be in vain in the face of the United States, which is better at using hegemony than himself. The court announced that saddam Hussein would be executed on 30 December 2006, and the method of execution of him was by hanging, a painful death that made many people suspect that someone was deliberately retaliating. Subsequently, in the midst of the complicated gaze of everyone, Saddam Hussein, dressed in prison uniform, was escorted back to the prison.
Judging from the photos that flowed out, Saddam Hussein, who had been in prison for three years, still had the momentum of that year, but unfortunately, this time he could not save himself. In the last moments of his life, Saddam Hussein behaved surprisingly calmly, and after the verdict was decided, Saddam still ate and slept, trying to maintain his last dignity. However, when the U.S. military brought him his last meal on December 29, Saddam Hussein unkindly refused, it was his last supper, for death row inmates, the last supper is very meaningful, but Saddam Hussein thought that this pity came from his enemies, so he chose to refuse.
At this point, Saddam's life began to count down, and he was left with only the last night of his life. Saddam Hussein knew that he had died, but he still wanted to save his last dignity in front of the whole world, but the United States would not tolerate any enemy, and that night, Saddam Haddam had just fallen asleep, and several Of the American troops in charge of guarding him entered the cell, kicked him violently a few times, and ordered him to wake up.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > dignity</h1>
American soldiers saw that the once mighty Saddam Hussein was now in their own hands, and they no longer had any fear of him, they just wanted to make fun of him, thinking about how outrageous and funny it was that Iraq's former rulers were being played like monkeys! This is the abacus of a few guards.
They forced Saddam Hussein into a corner, tied him with a rope, and then a few more men called a group of soldiers in, and they put rock and roll in their cells, laughing wildly, so that Saddam Hussein could not rest at all, they made up the news of the insults against Saddam, laughed and sang in Saddam's ear, and when Saddam hussein had an impatient look on his face, they came over and gave the prisoner a kick or a slap.
The soldiers were not at all worried about being punished, because Saddam Hussein had no human rights at this moment, and their behavior was tacitly approved by the US government. The soldiers quickly called in more people, and they turned the cell into a large gathering place, and Saddam Hussein was the best concoction for their party.
They took off Saddam Hussein's clothes, tied the American Star-Spangled Banner to his head, forcibly dragged Saddam Hussein up to take pictures, or forced Saddam Hussein to sing the American national anthem, Saddam Hussein's desire to maintain decency was completely trampled under the feet of this group of American soldiers, some soldiers began to spit at him, they knew that Saddam wanted the last dignity, but the more Saddam wanted, the more they wanted, they wanted to destroy something.
It was not until the early hours of the next day that the absurd banquet was declared over, and the soldiers continued to insult Saddam Hussein as they left. The prison brought another breakfast, but Saddam hussein still coldly refused. At this moment Saddam Hussein was in a terrible state, his clothes were thrown away, his hair was caught in a mess, his face had the footprints of American soldiers stepping on, and there were bruises on his wrists caused by ropes, and this look would follow him into the grave.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > death</h1>
Saddam Hussein told the soldiers that he wanted to smoke, and then, unsurprisingly, was rejected. When the time approached, Saddam Hussein, who had been tortured all night, was finally taken to the execution chamber and handed over to the executioners, and at his strong request, the United States agreed to let him choose the clothing he would wear when he was executed, and allowed him to take a copy of the Quran.
Saddam's choice of clothing for himself is a black tweed coat, which was one of Saddam's classic outfits in his years of infinite scenery, and now that he is no longer beautiful, this coat, as one of his few souvenirs, will accompany him to the end. The Quran is saddam's faith, and even though he is about to be hanged, saddam still looks forward to the blessings of the gods and hopes that his soul will ascend to heaven after death.
Saddam was then taken to the gallows, and according to the rules, he was put on a black hood to hide the twisted expression of the death row inmate before he died, but Saddam Refused to wear a hood, saying that he would face death and let his people remember what he looked like before he died.
Since this was Saddam's last request before his death, the executioners agreed, but they still felt that Saddam hussein was asking for too much, so they helped Saddam remove his hood and cursed him very uglyly to go to hell, and Saddam was accustomed to such insults, and he calmly opened his eyes and watched the executioner put the noose on his neck.
The Americans wanted to see Saddam Hussein ugly, but Saddam Hussein was also determined to fight the Americans to the end, and he said to the people present: "Let's do it!" I will not be afraid of any of you. I was a warrior, and from the moment I picked up the gun, I knew I was going to die at any moment. The so-called steel has fallen, but the steely will is still there! This statement was recorded by the camera and became Saddam's last words to the world, perhaps Saddam hussein still got his wish, and his calm performance at the last moment maintained his last dignity.
Saddam Eventually died at the hands of the Americans, and he was not the first, and certainly would not be, the last. His body was buried back where he was born, and saddam's era was over, but Iraq's suffering was far from over. Under the hegemonism of the United States, Iraq cannot see the hope of tomorrow, where is the future going? No one knows the answer.
