Saddam - The Sacrificial Lion

Manto mian,

Hey bhagwan. Iraqis are busy slaughtering each other and you are still after poor MKG/JLN/SPV`s backsides.

Regards

While not quite appropriate (saddam was all about his personal glory, and iraqis were mere gaajer-mooli to be cut up as needed, and so could hardly be called a patriot), this ``takht yaa takhtaa`` (the throne or the execution platform) is indeed an old story, as per below.


The Patriot, The
by Robert Browning

AN OLD STORY.

I.

It was roses, roses, all the way,
With myrtle mixed in my path like mad:
The house-roofs seemed to heave and sway,
The church-spires flamed, such flags they had,
A year ago on this very day.

II.

The air broke into a mist with bells,
The old walls rocked with the crowd and cries.
Had I said, ``Good folk, mere noise repels-
But give me your sun from yonder skies!``
They had answered, ``And afterward, what else?``

III.

Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun
To give it my loving friends to keep!
Nought man could do, have I left undone:
And you see my harvest, what I reap
This very day, now a year is run.

IV.

There`s nobody on the house-tops now-
Just a palsied few at the windows set;
For the best of the sight is, all allow,
At the Shambles` Gate-or, better yet,
By the very scaffold`s foot, I trow.

V.

I go in the rain, and, more than needs,
A rope cuts both my wrists behind;
And I think, by the feel, my forehead bleeds,
For they fling, whoever has a mind,
Stones at me for my year`s misdeeds.

VI.

Thus I entered, and thus I go!
In triumphs, people have dropped down dead.
``Paid by the world, what dost thou owe
``Me?``-God might question; now instead,
`Tis God shall repay: I am safer so.

... and you feel discussing it on chowk will miraculously stop Iraqis from slaughtering each other...

Wah bhai... you give a whole new meaning to the word ``delusional``.

Re: # 147

... in response to Majumdar.

Manto mian,

Discussing MKG/MAJ (pbuh) won`t stop the slaughter either in Iraq or in the subcontinent. It was just that this is a post on Saddam Hussein. But anyways all posts on chowk end up with MAJ-MKG/Hanud-Musla, Hindian/Paki arguments. So maybe shouldn`t be too concerned.

Regards

Re: # 149

Glad you notice the futility of any discussion.

However, this current barrage started from my innocent question .... and for that I apologise and promise not to discuss this issue i.e. racist casteist hindu fascist bigot gandhi

okhla writes <<< Hanging of Saddam is but one step forward in the eminently sensible long term US plan for the region -- Control over the oil resources. And this can, in the opinion of the think tank, be easily achieved by balkanisation of the Iran-Iraq-Pakistan region >>>

Only the most diseased mind on earth can claim that the human disaster caused by US global intervention is ``eminently sensible``. There is nothing on the international level that can be ``easily achieved``, your unnamed ``think tank`` thought that Iraq would be a cake walk as well. Because Kuwait is ``easily controlled`` does not mean that other tiny regions can also be easily controlled, there is not much that is uniform between different regions and their neighbours and how they would react, generalizing in this fashion is typical Musharraf BS. Further there is no ``order`` in this chaos, there is chaos and further chaos and human misery. Regardless of your obsession with me, damn fool intellects like you are scattered all over the internet like bird droppings, they don`t fool anyone by merely rehashing official propaganda that the mainstream does a much better job of presenting than diseased minds like yours. You on the other hand are happy polishing the boots of the dictator that polishes the boots of we know who, in all of this your slave mentality and the slave mentality of your mentor are clearly evident.

bloodletting is a tested cure for curing many diseases

....... what is happening in the muslim world - shias and sunnis killing each other - is necessary to cure the disease that has afflicted the ummah since the time of the abominable four ........... it would be nice if we could undo the harm done by the conquest of mecca and restore al-lat and her sisters to their rightful place in the kaaba, but it is too late for that now .......... the only hope we have is that muslims will come around after this round of bloodshed and join the ranks of civilized people .........

there`s a top secret project on in India to resurrect the g-man from the dead so he can be tried...

Once that`s developed, we`ll let you in on the technology so you can resurrect the killers of millions of bengalis in 71 and try them...

deal?

Nations that write their own history survive, those that let their enemies do it for them - are doomed to be subdued and lost in history.

Well said Akber Saheb. I hope someone listens.

And now, in typically Muslim fashion, the issue over the Sadman Houston execution fiasco has surfaced as a witch hunt for the culprit who recorded the hanging. Astonishingly, the behavior of the taunting Shia executioners is not the glaring problem. The grief is over who had the audacity to expose this travesty and mockery of a state execution. Once again, the traditional Muslim practice of controlling the truth about an evil act takes precedence over the evil act itself.

when were the last crusades?

Re: # 149

majumdar,

....... i think it is okay to discuss gandhiji on this board - he was a bigger threat to mankind than saddam ............

........ as derek zoolander said , ``have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking`` ........... gandhi was killed by the male models and the fashion industry - and he deserved it ! ............ it is over, so live with it ...

Re: # 156
