Saddam must survive the execution to reaveal a lot of things

It's understandable that many Iraqi's want Saddam to be executed. But I totally disagree with the, because it's not only them who should decide about the fate of Saddam. He has a huge file of war crimes against Iranians during the '80s war and we, as Iranians, have the right to decide about his fate as well as Iraqis.

However, like President Khatami, I doubt that the Bush Administration and the EU would like to uncover their silence and strong support to him even when he gassed Iranian soldiers.

I'm very glad that Michael Moore has finally spoken about the long forgotten facts of the Iran-Iraq war. Reading his piece about the history of the US support for Saddam is a must. Although he has missed the part of German and French in all those war crimes. After all, Chirac was a close friend to Iraq in the `80s and it was the French who revived the rusty army of Saddam by their new fighter jets etc.

The worrying part is that the US/UK can easily make a back door deal with France, Germany and Russia to end the story of Saddam in a way that does not result in an embarrassment for all of them. They all share the crimes Saddam committed against his own people and Iranians, so it make sense if they deal over the issue. The question is how we can prevent this dirty deal from happening. There are many western leaders who should be put on trial along with Saddam.
