Some Iraqi points of view
These are some of the comments which were posted on BBC online about capturing Saddam:
Ali, Iraqi who lived under UN Sanctions
When this evil person goes on trial, the world will know more about his past relations with the US elite, how the US covered his chemical attacks on Iran, how they gave him Satellite photos to defeat the Iranians in Al-FA0 battle. We may also know more about his previous financial links in the 80s with Rumsfeld, Ronald Reagan, the Bush family, and Kuwait.
Haqir Amaziz, Basra, Iraq
If only brave American soldiers had dropped a hand bomb on Saddam's head it would be problem solved. Now America will be held by idiots who have higher standards than Saddam ever had.
Imran, Baghdad
Saddam was bad. He should be trial by Iraq. But I think the biggest terrorist the world faces is Bush and the American Government. Saddam killed innocent civilians in thousands. But a million Iraqi children lost their life in Iraq due to sanctions imposed by US. At least 2000 times more people died in Iraq in recent war then the number of people died in 9/11. President Bush should trial and hanged naked or buried alive.
Abbas, Iraqi in UAE
Some advice to Arab leaders - Saddam was America's closest friend in the region in the 80s. The US/West armed Saddam in return of Iraqi oil, encouraged him to attack Iran with chemicals, to destabilise Syria, Saudi, Lebanon and others. Now they don't need him anymore. This is what the US do to their "friends". I think this is a good lesson for our future generations.
Emad Nimah, Basra, Iraq
The capture and the manner in which he was shown to the world was a humiliation to all anti and pro Saddam Iraqis. It was also a clear message to all Arab and Muslim leaders and indeed worldwide that a similar pathetic fate is in store for all those who defy and antagonise the US.
