The So-called Democracy
in Iraq
Over the last six years,
there has been an ongoing heated debate concerning the controversial issue of
whether Saddam Hussein's execution brought democracy to Iraq or not. It is an
undeniable fact that Hussein was the fifth president of Republic of Iraq and he
controlled the country with absolute and unlimited power over the twenty-four
year period. Furthermore, Saddam Hussein was the component of threat for
America and his neighbours; therefore, in 2003, American troops entered the
Republic of Iraq and Hussein was deposed so as to establish democracy. After he
was arrested, he was sentenced to death and executed within few days in 2006. In
spite of Saddam Hussein's execution, Iraq is not a democratic country due to
not being an independent country, ruling by Islamic law and all citizens not
being equal before the law.
