Some drivers honked their horns as young and old waved Iraqi and American flags. Metro Arabs: 'This is very good news' David Josar | The Detroit News / The Detroit News DEARBORN -- As the phone calls began arriving from relatives in the Middle East around 4 a.m. Sunday, Metro Detroiters from Iraq began to rejoice. "This is something we've been waiting for a long time," said Farazdak Alasady, 22, who moved to the United States three years ago. "Hussein killed 16 of my family. Now there will be freedom. I have been getting calls all morning. This is very good news." Alasady was part of a five-car caravan that spent Sunday driving up and down Warren Avenue with horns blaring, Iraqi flags flapping and music pulsing in celebration of news that Saddam Hussein had received a death sentence for a crackdown in 1982 in the Shiite town of Dujail. The sentence and conviction are automatically appealed under the rules of the Iraqi courts. In Dearborn, which is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arabs in United States, and in parts of nearby Detroit, Iraqi expatriates and their supporters took to the streets to celebrate. By 6 p.m., Warren Avenue from east Dearborn to Detroit was a sea of cars, said Mary Ramadan, who was visiting relatives in Dearborn. "It was bumper to bumper," she said. "They were lined up on the streets, too, and standing outside businesses with big flags." Beating drums, throwing candy and dancing to Arab music, Iraqis flowed into streets lined with Arab businesses. At the corner of Warren and Mansfield in Detroit, old men and young children waved Iraqi and American flags. "There is such a thing as justice," said Ajumy Al Saidi, 50, who came to the United States from Iraq in 1993. He said two of his brothers were killed by Saddam. "Our country can now move forward. Let Saddam hang. That will be what the people want." Al Saidi, once a professional volleyball player in Iraq, now manages a number of amateur Iraqi-American athletic teams. "He has hurt many people," he said. "He has gotten what he deserved." When U.S. forces captured Baghdad in April 2003 and when Saddam was captured in December 2003, communities here erupted in jubilation. On Sunday, though, participants said the mood was more somber and not as many residents took part. "This is another step in moving Iraq forward. But it is not as big a step as before," Zayd Alshami said. Alshami, 28, who was born in the United States and has Iraqi parents, said the fact that Saddam was out of power was enough for him. "I don't care what happens to him next -- if he lives or if he dies -- as long as he is gone," he said. Though many people said they were glad Saddam will be punished for what some consider crimes against humanity, they are still uneasy about what role the United States is playing in the Middle East. Eating a late lunch at the New Yasmeen Bakery in Dearborn, Paul Ajlouny expressed satisfaction with the verdict but not the situation in Iraq. "It's uplifting that he will get the death sentence, but one has to question the legitimacy of the trial," said Ajlouny.( a Palestinian) "How can there be a fair trial in Iraq? It is occupied by the United States and the courts will do what the U.S. wants,"said the Palestinian "Why aren't they out? Why are they still occupiers?" Ajlouny asked, adding that as a PALESTINIAN, he knows what it's like to be under the rule of outsiders. Along a two-block stretch of Seven Mile in Detroit just east of Woodward that is home to many businesses run by displaced Iraqis, the highlight of the day for people buying meat and baked goods was the verdict and death sentence. Elani Hammad of Detroit had just purchased some lamb at Iraqi Bakery and had spent the morning talking to her sister in Dearborn about the verdict. "If you are from the Middle East, you know someone who has been touched by Saddam Hussein," Hammad said. Jafar Alhussiany, 29, a civilian linguist for the Department of Defense who was on leave in Dearborn, said Sunday was special for most in the city. "There is a better chance of freedom. Now the infighting in Iraq will end," he said.
I for one will ulogize Uncle Saddam. And now what a mess we have. With all those crazy bastards over there who can blame him for being a tryant and a dictator. Compare his mass graves to the ones Bush has created. We made him,,, now we are going to hang him... For shame , for shame. Rennick out
Metro Detroit Hussein verdict fuels hope, dread, fear BY SUZETTE HACKNEY FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER "This is the least Saddam can get, death by execution, for the genocide he inflicted on the Iraqi people. We must remember that 2 million people were killed," said Imam Sayed Hassan al-Qazwini, religious leader of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. "However, his followers and loyalists have been determined to cause more damage and incivility in Iraq. I'm not sure whether this will help with quelling down the violence in Iraq or not, but I am sure that he deserves this punishment. "Justice was done," said Jacoub Mansour, a medical doctor from West Bloomfield who was born in Iraq. "Many Iraqis were waiting for this day. Today is a holiday for the Iraqi people because the head of the snake will be hanged for crimes against humanity."........... Each individual Iraqi, group, faction, is responsible for their own behavior, actions, future.
I agree...same thing with Hitler...he knew how to control the f-ing jews...if we had left him alone, we wouldn't have this mess in the middle east... we could have just let him run Europe and rid the world of those pesky jews....For shame for shame....
