伊拉克前總統侯賽因（ Saddam Hussein）上訴失敗後，30天內隨時被送上絞刑台。伏法前，他前天（周三）在網上發表告別信，說自己要做為伊拉克犧牲的烈士，但呼籲國民不要憎恨美軍。

Among the dead are students of engineering and English, the son of a Moroccan restaurateur and a smattering of Europeanized Arabs. There are also long lists of names about whom nothing more is recorded than a country of origin and the word “martyr.”
