One of the most interesting questions on the death sentence passed on the rightful Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is not what I think about it or what you think about it, or what George Bush and Tony Blair thinks about it. The question is, what do Iraqis think about it? On that, we could reach a moral verdict and have evidence. Despite all this extreme hostility from the media, from the BBC and CNN propaganda classes and from the United States and Britain, don’t forget that whatever has and is happening in Iraq is uncalled for and remember Saddam won elections one after the other by rather heavy majority(99.97%)….he was loved by the people. Whatever BBC and CNN might have said but there were polls in Iraqi, careful polls by the Mid-East polling institutions, and they were quite revealing. What they showed was a refusal for  American and British democracy over almost all of Iraqi , not because people didn’t like American and British democracy, but because they dont like the neoliberal economic policies that have come along with it, which are harmful. The Kurds  and the privileged hated him. So the enormous support for him over the years might give you a pretty good guess.
