Several number of U.S. media handled a letter from U.S. solider to his wife describing the last moments in the life of former Iraqi leader "Saddam Hussein," as describing all the exclamation moment, which preceded the execution of President Saddam Hussein. The American soldier described that Saddam was held together as it’s almost closer to the miracle, and was "smiling from the platform of death."
The Jordanian newspaper "Iris" quoted that the American soldier who was one of the few watched the execution of Saddam as saying that former Iraqi president, "smiled after the pronunciation of testimony before his execution," continued to smile until he died. Furthermore, he added that Saddam stop like watching something sent a pleasure in his heart, so he repeated the sentence “there’s only one God and Mohamed is the messenger of God” over and over again until his soul was separated from his body .
The Jordanian newspaper published selections of the letter, the U.S. He said to his wife:
"Believe me, I believe that President Saddam Hussein a man who deserves respect .The cell door of Saddam Hussein's had been opened at two in the morning GMT, and the leader of the group stopped which will oversee the execution and ordered the Americans guards to distract. Then he told President Saddam Hussein that he would be executed within hours. President Saddam Hussein had requested a meal of rice with boiled chicken that had been requested by the middle of the night and drink several cups of hot water with honey, a drink, which used to drink since his childhood. "
The soldier added in his letter: "at 2:30, Saddam Hussein did his ablution and wash his hands, face, feet and set on the edge of his mineral bed reading Quran, which was a gift from his wife. During that time, the team penalty tried the penalty ropes and the floor of the stage. At 2:45, two of the morgue arrived with a wooden coffin flat with gallows. At 2:50, Saddam arrived to the Hall of penalty and the moratorium witnesses stand up in front of the execution wall of the chamber. They also were judges, clerics, representatives of the government and the doctor. At 3:01 the process of execution began, which the entire world watched through video camera that set on the corner of the room. "
After an official person read sentenced to death to him, Saddam was looking to the stage without giving any care while his torturers were extremely afraid. Some of them were trembling in fear and others were afraid to even show his face, the wear masks similar to the masks of the mafia. They were afraid, even terrified.
Moreover, the U.S. soldier almost would almost running out of the room when he saw Saddam Hussein, smiling after he said “there is no god but Allah, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah”. The soldier thought that the place is filled with explosives. It is not inconceivable that a person laugh few seconds before his execution.
Soldier was wondered: "What is the secret that this man is smiling on the platform of death?”. Saddam said “there is no god but Allah, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah” and then smiled.
He said in the letter to his wife: "I assure you that he smiled like he was seen as something that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes .and then repeated “there is no god but Allah, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah”. It was like it gave him strength and hardness. I assure you he had seen something!".
"I do not know if what some of our Muslim friends in Iraq is saying that the martyrs will enter Paradise immediately and do not feel the pain of death is correct or not."
Finally the soldier added: "They say that the martyrs are the ones who kill the infidels and we are infidels in their eyes, and on this basis they believe that we gave him a great gift, when we killed him!”.
This article I translated from this newspaper: http://www.youm7.com/News.asp?NewsID=284494&SecID=88&IssueID=0
Because I believe that this article changes my thinking in Iraq. I always thought that this President was deserved what happened to him and he was not good man for his people, however when I read this article, I started to change my mind and wondered if it’s true that he was not good and unfair for his people, why he repeated “there is no god but Allah, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah” many times with smiling. Although we know in Islam no one can repeated many times except faithful person. In my opinion, the media had successes in reflecting bad image and let people hate him. Off curse what I wrote is right if this article is 100 % correct not just for famous in media from solider side. furthermore, no one can judge what is the person is except who live with
