Berbahaya bila Saddam menyampaikan komentar pedas di pengadilan, 
dapat membangun perlawanan terhadap US di Irak. Termasuk membangun 
semangat umat umat yg meningkatkan kekerasan dan teror. 

  Saddam di pengadilan ditentukan oleh Rakyat Irak sendiri bahwa 
eksesuse atau release. Mengingat banyak rakyat Irak mendukungnya, 
tetapi tidak pada byk rakyat Irak telah mengalami trauma atas 
perbuatan Rezim Saddam. Itu merupakan keputusan dunia atau Rakyat 
Irak sebenarnya? Artinya keputusan terhadap Saddam tidak perlu 
diputuskan oleh dunia melainkan rezim Saddam selama perkembangan Irak 
dan trauma atas perbuatan di negara sendiri. Mungkinkah pendapatku 
salah.

  Utk itu, Saddan perlu didampingi pengacara dan lawan maupun 
pendukung dari Rakyat di pengadilan agar memberi pelajaran pada 
masyarakat dunia bahwa Presiden maupun pemimpinan masyarakat banyak 
perlu diberi pelajaran agar menghormati aspirasi rakyat dan 
menenangkan rakyat.

  Sungguh tidak disukai bila umat umat melakukan perlawanan dan 
serangan pada asing hanya karena melampiskan kedendaman dan 
pembalasan. Saya harap tidak ada menteri menteri Irak utk membangun 
permusuhan dan serangan ke pejuang rakyat Irak. 

   Tetapi ada posisi menteri Irak masih dalam mengomando pasukan 
asing dan Irak utk melakukan permusuhan. Mengapa belum ada niatnya 
utk mengajak kerja sama dan mendoakin kemajuan Irak bukan menggunakan 
militer utk menyerang rakyat sendiri dianggap pemberontakan. rasanya 
apa yg mereka inginkan adalah penyelesaian konflik semoga semua perlu 
menerima TERBAIK buat masyarakat Irak. Menteri Irak diharuskan adil 
dan memikirkan kebersamaan.

  kelihatan memang pantas ada salah satu negara arab mengirimkan 
pasukan Jordania di Irak utk membantu melindungi para pejuang dan 
pasukan Irak. Perlu ada dukungan arab, malaysia dan Indonesia utk 
menerjunkan pasukan utk menghindari pertumpahdarahan. Utk membenarkan 
keberadaan pasukan asing lain tidak ada manfaat di Irak utk melawan 
rakyat Irak.

Aspirasi dan kebersamaan perlu diperhatikan.


wassalam,

Baghdad Hotels Rocketed After Saddam Court Drama

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Rockets hit two central Baghdad hotels on Friday, 
shattering the Muslim holiday calm a day after Saddam Hussein (news - 
web sites) appeared before an Iraqi tribunal set to try him for 35 
years of murderous Baathist rule. 

The explosions woke residents of the capital who had been riveted by 
the drama of a deflated but still defiant Saddam brought in chains to 
an Iraqi judge to hear charges that could lead to a trial for war 
crimes and genocide. 

Insurgents used a bus and a pickup truck as makeshift launchpads to 
fire rockets that hit the two hotels used by foreigners and Iraqi 
officials. Three people were wounded. 


A Pakistani kidnapped by Islamic militants in Iraq (news - web sites) 
contacted his family in Pakistan to say he had been released. 
Earlier, two Turkish hostages were freed by guerrillas, apparently 
after promising to stop working for U.S. forces. 

West of Baghdad, a U.S. marine was killed in a province that includes 
the restive town of Falluja. His death brought the U.S. combat toll 
in Iraq to at least 634 since the start of the war. 

U.S. and Iraqi forces have been on alert for any spectacular attacks 
to disrupt the handover to an interim government, which occurred on 
Monday, two days earlier than planned. 

Jordan is ready to become the first Arab country to send peacekeepers 
to Iraq, if the new government requests it, King Abdullah told the 
BBC. Iraqi leaders have previously said they do not want troops from 
any of Iraq's neighbors. 

Yemen, which does not border Iraq, said it would send troops only if 
U.S.-led forces withdraw and give way to multinational peacekeepers 
under a United Nations (news - web sites) and Arab League umbrella. 

NATO (news - web sites) FEUDING 

In Brussels, diplomats said transatlantic feuding over the scope of 
NATO training for Iraq's security forces had erupted again over how 
to interpret a pledge made at this week's Istanbul summit. They said 
France was resisting a U.S. push for NATO to be a central agency for 
training inside Iraq. 

About 160,000 U.S.-led foreign troops remain in Iraq to help 
fledgling Iraqi security forces fight anti-U.S. militants, rebels and 
kidnappers trying to undermine the new government. 

Firebrand Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said Iraq remained occupied 
despite the formal transfer of sovereignty and urged Iraqis to accept 
nothing less than independence and democracy. 

"Know that the multinational forces are the same as the occupation, 
for what has changed but the name?" said Sheikh Jaber al-Khafaji, 
speaking for Sadr, at a sermon in Kufa. 

The government hopes the drive to bring Saddam to justice will prompt 
insurgents still loyal to him to abandon the fight. 

Iraq's former U.S. administrator Paul Bremer said a 
dangerous "professional" network run by Jordanian militant Abu Musab 
al-Zarqawi, viewed as an al Qaeda ally, was likely to be active long 
after other insurgent groups were defeated. 

Downcast but defiant, Iraq's former dictator appeared before a 
magistrate on Thursday, questioning his authority and saying 
the "real criminal" was President Bush (news - web sites). 

Photos released on Friday showed Saddam smiling wryly as Iraqi guards 
removed his chains before he entered the courtroom. 

He and 11 aides who were also charged could face the death sentence 
if the new government reinstates it. 

KUWAITI FURY 

Saddam refused to recognize that he was guilty of a crime in invading 
Kuwait in 1990, jabbing his finger toward the judge and 
saying: "Everyone knows that Kuwait is part of Iraq." 

Kuwait responded in fury to Saddam's remarks, in which he referred to 
Kuwaitis as dogs. "Let him say what he wants; his fate is known...his 
fate is with the dogs," said Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-
Sabah, demanding execution for Saddam. 

Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) said Saddam should 
be assumed to be innocent and the world should watch his trial. 

"You will see a new kind of justice in Iraq," he said, contrasting 
the process against Saddam with the summary execution his opponents 
could have expected in the past. 

The United Nations' new human rights chief, former U.N. war crimes 
prosecutor Louise Arbour, urged the international community to 
observe Saddam's trial to ensure it was fair. 

Apart from the invasion of Kuwait, the preliminary charges against 
Saddam referred to the suppression of Kurdish and Shi'ite revolts 
after the 1991 Gulf War (news - web sites), poison gas attacks and 
other massacres of Kurds, the killing of religious leaders in 1974 
and the killing of political figures over three decades. 

Iran's former president asked why the charge sheet had not mentioned 
Iraq's 1980-88 war with the Islamic republic. 

"Why does Saddam face charges regarding several months of Kuwait 
occupation but not for the eight-year Iran-Iraq war?" Akbar Hashemi 
Rafsanjani asked in a Friday prayer sermon. 

Artillery shells found by Polish troops in Iraq contained the deadly 
nerve agent cyclosarin, Poland's military said, adding that the 
munitions dated from the 1980s. 

Poland said on Thursday its soldiers found 17 Grad rockets and two 
mortar shells filled with chemicals in late June.
