Interesting story IA. Tragedy of men - but I wonder if he is really a fallen man: financially and socially yes - but morally? I guess he only wanted to serve his country after all and had to become part of the system.
So I agree with you that it would be unfair to treat him the same way Saddam and Co were treated.
He lived like a king in Saddam's time in his own words, huge houses best food new jewellry, while the masses lived in poverty just barely scraping by. Instead of sending his son to foreign countries as a reward...why didn't he sacrifice a few sheep to feed to the homeless? He saved himself supporting Saddam, by sacrificing and supporting the deaths of countless others.
He doesn't regret his actions. He regrets his position (today).

OK agree.
But I have a question. You lived in Mash'had for a while, did you ever visted Eshgh'abad from there?? or maybe lived there?
Why would anyone feel sorry for him? he is sunni
I feel sorry for him.
He is an educated man, one which Iraq desperately needs if it ever is to return to normal.
Anonymous...lol.
No, have not visited Ishqabad.
I have no sympathy for people like this. Leaches, or ticks, blood suckers. Living the good life. Like slavers, that sold their "good" and then went to deposit the profits in the bank.
We got plenty of them in Cuba. I hope to see them all on the street begging. And if I walk by and one of them begs me, I will have as much sympathy with them as they had on the rest of us.
Here is a guy that had it all. He was in a doomed system, but he didn't consider alternatives. How many of us in the West likewise fail to consider that tomorrow will be another system, and our current way of life will end. Perhaps in a flash before our eyes.
