Arabs say Iraqi violence overshadows fate of Saddam

CAIRO – Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who may hang for his crimes within a month, is less and less relevant against a backdrop of daily massacres in the land he once ruled with an iron fist, Arabs said on Wednesday.

...

'I'm not sure how many people are still interested in the fate of one individual given what's going on in Iraq and the rest of the region,' said Sami Baroudi, a political science professor in Beirut.

Abdel-Khaleq Abdullah, professor of political science at Emirates University, said: 'Saddam's execution will be one less ... bad person for the whole world. It will not have an effect on the big mess Iraq is in now. He has become negligible.'

'Maybe Saddam Hussein deserves execution ... but who holds the Americans responsible for the 600,000 dead Iraqi civilians in the past three years? That's more than Saddam killed in 30 years,' added Safaa Fadlallah, 40, who works in a Beirut shop.
