Letter to the Iraqi Ambassador

British Politician Gordon Brown has added his comments relating to the execution of one of the nastiest tyrants in the modern world. The people of Iraq do not seem that upset about the going of the old mass-murderer. No pro-Saddam demonstration managed to have more than a few hundred, possibly a thousand at most, participants.

The popular horror being expressed, particularly among the West European elite, at the execution of Saddam Hussein and his taunting by some Shi’ite guards does not concider the reality of the horror that existed during Saddam's rule. Would it be too much to ask all these self-appointed guardians of international public morality to ask themselves what their reaction would be if they or their nearest and dearest had gone through what the people of Iraq have gone through under the far-from-benign rule of Saddam Hussein, his psychopathic sons and other Ba’athists who were given power by him?

Insenced by Romano Prodi, for example, traveling the World including such Nations as Russia, a country not known for the wonders of law and order, calling for a world-wide moratorium on capital punishment the Editor of the Blog has written to the Iriqi Ambassidor in London. The open email is as follows:

For the attention of H.E. Dr. Salah Al-Shaikhly, Ambassador to the Court of St James.


Your Excellency

Romano Prodi, has joined others in condemning the manner of the execution of the tyrant Saddam Hussein.

.
I read that the Italian President is going to various places, such as Russia, calling for a world-wide moratorium on capital punishment. Terrible, terrible, he is saying this is not fit behaviour for civilised countries and humane societies.

.

Perhaps your excellency should remind Senor Prodi that within living memory a certain Benito Mussolini, the former Italian dictator, together with his unfortunate mistress, Clara Petacci, hardly a war criminal and other members of his entourage were shot by the Italian partisans without the benefit of a trial, let alone a public one, or defence lawyers. Their still bloody bodies were then filmed hung upside down in a public square in Milan from meat hooks. Not the behaviour of a civilised country.

.

Perhaps the Italian President in the style of modern western politics should apologise for his nations own historic judicial misdeed before continuing his self righteous campaign against the execution of one of the modern world's worst despots.

The Best of British luck with the difficult task of restoring you nation to a sate of democracy and peace.
