Is Saddam a terrorist or a Martyr ?

Answer 1

saddam to his followers is a martyr who died fighting,to his enemies he is a terrorist.for the ordinary or common man this things does'nt matter most,he just wants his daily bread and safe livung with his famaily in his own country.

Answer 2

Saddam is reputed to have funded terrorism. It is alleged, but has not yet been proven in court.

There were cases being brought against him and his estate (estimated to be in the billions in Swiss banks) for damages caused by funding sucide-bombers in Israel, but these cases will now be dismissed, since Saddam was executed, so justice will never be done for the families in Israel who suffered.

And don't tell me Saddam's death equals justice -- if your sister was blown up in Tel Aviv, which would you rather have -- 2 billion dollars in settlement, or Saddam's hanging?

I'll take the money, any day, even though it doesn't bring back the dead. It does put shoes on the feet of children of dead Israeli fathers . . .

Who's to blame? Try that genius, Bush!

Is Saddam a martyr? Well, if he had been left to rot in a Rotterdam jail cell, then he would probably not be a martyr for another 30-45 years, depending on how long he lived.

But now that the U.S. backed puppet Iraqi government has lynched him on the Eve of Eid, the Feast of Sacrifice, this bloody villain will indeed become a martyr and a twisted hero.

Everything Bush touches he breaks or gets wrong. Could we restrain him and Cheney in duct tape until the election in 2008, please?

Answer 3

Errr...I think the question should be phrased in past tense. WAS Saddam a terrorist or a martyr. He's gone.

Answer 4

Terrorist, hard to be a great martyr when your own country executes you and your political party is not in power. His image suffered when the media showed his capture and the condition he was in after living in a dirty hole.

Answer 5

Martyr, most certainly a Martyr.

Answer 6

he looked at himself as a martyr--but he was a terrorist.

Answer 7

Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti(his full name)
was dictator of Iraq from 1979 until 2003, when his regime was overthrown by a United States-led invasion. Hussein had joined the revolutionary Baath party while he was a university student. He launched his political career in 1958 by assassinating a supporter of Iraqi ruler Abdul-Karim Qassim. Saddam rose in the ranks after a Baath coup, and by 1979 he was Iraq's president and de facto dictator. He led Iraq through a decade-long war with Iran, and in August of 1990 his forces invaded the neighboring country of Kuwait. A U.S.-led alliance organized by George Bush (the elder) ran Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in the Gulf War, which ended in February of 1991 with Saddam still in power. In 2002 Hussein came under renewed pressure from George W. Bush, the son of the first President Bush. Hussein's regime was overthrown by an invasion of U.S. and British forces in March of 2003. Hussein disappeared, but U.S. forces captured him on 13 December 2003 after finding him hiding in a small underground pit on a farm near the town of Tikrit. Late in 2005 he went on trial in Iraq for the 1982 deaths of over 140 men in the town of Dujail. On 5 November 2006 he was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. The sentence was upheld after appeal, and Hussein was executed by hanging in Baghdad on the morning of 30 December 2006.

HE IS DEFINITLY A TERRORIST.

Answer 8
