Saddam Arrested
By Ghulam Muhammed
Al-Jazeerah, 12/15/03
‘We got him’, declared US commanding officer in Baghdad press conference, with the current President of the Governing Council, in attendance on his right. With that the saga of the vanquished legitimate President of Iraq, came to a new turn as US chose to keep their old ally, alive to debrief him under various forms of tortures and to use him, in their quest to humiliate the whole Arab and Muslim world and govern them by sheer force of arms and brute will to dominate the world, under Israeli directions.
Whatever the spin scenario that the US Administration may put out, they should realize that though much that the Press room resounded by wolf-whistles and anti-Saddam harangues, the net result of Saddam’s capture and his humiliation will leave a big hole in the Muslim heart; for whatever faults he had, however cruel he was, however much was his own perfidy by attacking other Muslim states, however faked his Islamic religiosity was, he was the only leader of some standing and some steely resolve who could stand firm in his tenacity to confront Israel in the Middle East. In that he symbolised the will of the Arab and Muslim world.
Now the space is vacant for others to take up his banner and wipe out the shame of Israeli and American occupation of Muslim lands and the struggle will continue. Middle East will not find its destiny and its honour, until there is an equitable and just peace between Palestinians and Israeli Jews, and Muslims are free to find their own identity in the new modern world, without any force and tutelage from the West.
