What are the likely consiquences of Saddam Hussain's hanging?

Question

Saddam Hussain has been hanged could this be the making of him as a martyr or the new beginning for Iraq

Answer 1

Yes it could...this man did not get a fair trial and nor did he have dueprocess by way of appeals. Yes he was found guilty for heinous crimes, but the swiftness of the hanging makes me want to throw up and casts shame on the Americans who so willingly reliquished custody of him. I believe in justive and I am appalled how this all happened. He should have been brought to trial only after American occupation or tried aas a war criminal. But then in this war Bush is the real criminal.

By the way: ADDED since original answer, I guess I was right!

Enraged crowds protested the hanging of Saddam Hussein across Iraq's Sunni heartland Monday,
Until Saddam's execution Saturday, most Sunnis sympathized with militants but avoided taking a direct role in the sectarian conflict _ despite attacks by Shiite militia that have killed thousands of Sunnis or driven them from their homes. The current Sunni protests, which appear to be building, could signal a spreading militancy. (((GOOD JOB AMERICA AND THOSE WHO RE_VoTED FOR GW ?????? disgusting)))))
Sunnis were not only outraged by Saddam's hurried execution, just four days after an appeals court upheld his conviction and sentence. Many were also incensed by the unruly scene in the execution chamber, captured on video, in which Saddam was taunted with chants of "Muqtada, Muqtada, Muqtada." (DISGUSTING AND AMERICA CO CONSPIRED TO THIS SADISTIC INHUMAN ACT))
The chants referred to Muqtada al-Sadr, a firebrand Shiite cleric who runs one of Iraq's most violent religious militias. He is a major power behind the government of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. ((WAY TO GO GW!!!!!))

Many Sunnis are also upset that Saddam was put to death the day that Sunni celebrations began for Eid al-Ahda, a major Muslim festival. The judge who first presided over the case that resulted in Saddam's death sentence said the former dictator's execution at the start of Eid was illegal according to Iraqi law, and contradicted Islamic custom.

"Saddam's eldest daughter briefly attended a protest Monday in Jordan _ her first public appearance since her father was hanged.

"God bless you, and I thank you for honoring Saddam, the martyr," said Raghad Saddam Hussein, according to two witnesses. She addressed members of the Professional Associations _ an umbrella group of unions representing doctors, engineers and lawyers _ in the group's office parking lot in west Amman.".

Answer 2

I believe he will not be a martyr to most. There were many Muslims that celebrated his death. Especially those in Kuwait and Jordan and the Saudi's. I'm sure there are some that will see him as a martyr and try to overlook all he did. Kuwait knew first hand of what he was capable of. Saudi was next on his invasion list that is the only reason they allowed us to deploy to their country after the Kuwait invasion. Had he not paused at the Kuwait border and continued with his plan prior to our troops arrival he would have occupied Saudi as well. Jordan has never had good relations with him, not even prior to the first gulf war. Which is why our troops did yearly practice deployments to Jordan for years before Kuwait was every invaded. The unit my husband was in did every other year rotations with another military unit and each spent a month in Jordan every July. So they were concerned long before 1990.

There are terrorists who would like us to cower in fear over the response to his death. But not because they are truly upset with his death. Many muslims despised him for decades. It's just because they will use any excuse to cause us fear. That is what terrorism is truly about. What they do not realize is that the more they push the more we rally together. One reason why we haven't seen any recent attacks. They learned 9/11 rallied our country, flags flew and people came together. The further in time we pass from 9/11 the more the patriotism of that time fades.

Answer 3

The timing is bad. The hanging of Saddam on the eve of the largest holiday in Islam will probably be seen as a travesty by his followers. The denial of a trial for the Kurd's will also cost many of the Kurdish people to turn against the current government. The long term effects will probably be about the same as hanging him on any other day but the short term effects could cause severe problems and many unwarranted deaths over the next few years.

Answer 4

I think the US could wind up with someone in power who is worse than Saddam, who would govern a populace who's majority now hates the US!

Some legacy!

Saddam will be a martyr, but not to many in Iraq he tortured! Ah, sadly we go down the same low road!

Answer 5

No. i think the govenrment could give up killing human beings, they do no longer learn from their errors then and that they do no longer remorseful approximately, they die a usually speedy loss of life. i think people who do terrible issues which includes rape, homicide, scouse borrow, etc could be despatched to detention center someplace truly warm OR truly chilly, and suffre, working outdoors, digging ditches in terrible circumstances. once you suffre simply by fact of what you have accomplished, you many times remorseful approximately it.

Answer 6

I think it depends on which side you are on how it will effect you, for us it means more troop deaths, as undoubtly it will help escalate the war, to the Sunnis, and Shiites it means a maaartyr to one and celebration to the other, but the way they'll celebrate is blow up some people, so all and all while I think the scum bag desirved the death penalty, I think its going to cause a lot of trouble for our troops
