MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti political commentator Marianna Belenkaya)
and prominent lawyers have questioned the legitimacy of the sentence. Hussein's trial, which was held during a foreign occupation of Iraq, can hardly be called impartial. A trial that should have served justice and been fair turned into a banal settling of accounts. A democratic society cannot be built on this foundation, and those who want to rewrite history - there are always such people - will have a chance to turn Hussein from a tyrant into a hero.Saddam Hussein said he was a martyr and his impending death was a sacrifice. I wouldn't be surprised if Iraqis, whose feelings have been mixed and distorted by chaos, will remember the dictator with nostalgia. The world has seen such things before.
