Iraq’s Sovereignty?
Stephen Gowans, What's Left

When Iraq’s prime minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki "decided to go ahead
with the hanging (of Saddam Hussein) the Americans said they made no
further attempts to stop it, having concluded that they could advise the
Iraqis against the execution, but not prevent it if the Iraqis
persisted, out of respect for Iraqi sovereignty" (my italics, New York
Times, January 3, 2007).
Given that Washington’s respect for Iraqi sovereignty hasn’t prevented
an invasion, occupation and installation of a puppet government, it
seems curious that respect for Iraqi sovereignty should suddenly stay
Washington’s hand.
Libya plans to erect a statue depicting Saddam Hussein in the gallows,
along with a monument to Omar Mukhtar, the religious teacher who led a
two decades-long resistance to Italian colonialism early in the last
century. Mukhtar was the subject of the Moustapha Akkad film, Lion of
the Desert, with Anthony Quinn in the role of the resistance leader.
Like Hussein, Mukthar was hanged for being on the wrong side of an
imperialist power bent on outraging another nation’s sovereignty.
