Constitution in 1990. This occurred because the people had a
leader and a government to lead them.
XS) Hussein believes Irag "will not die." Iraq is a
great nation now, as it has been at times throughout history.
Nations generally "go to the top" only once. Iraq, however, has
been there many times, before and after Islam. Iraq is the only
nation like this in the history of the world. This "gift" was
given to the Iraqi people by God. When Iraqi people fall, they
rise again. Hussein believes the Iraqi people “will take matters
into their own hands," rule themselves, and, with God, decide
what is right. Hussein hopes that Iraq will advance in all
areas, financial, religious, etc. He added that, as a
humanitarian, he hoped the same for the American people.
PS Hussein was quoted a passage from the book *Zabibah
and the King,“ commonly attributed as his writing, where the
deputies shout, "Long live Zabibah. Long live the people. Long
live the army." The deputies do not, however, shout “Long live
the king." Hussein was asked whether the Iragi people will
forget or fail to shout for him, to which he replied no. He
said, "It's in God's hands." Hussein emphasized the king is not
the main subject of the book, rather the people. He stated God
comes first, then the people. Hussein added Jesus Christ was
considered "from the people" as Mary was of the people and Christ
lived among the people. Being faithful is a cherished thing in
life, being a traitor is the worst thing. Hussein stated, "God
wanted to tell us don't be surprised when people are traitors to
you." Hussein ended this portion of the discussion by saying "a
prisoner can not do anything for the people." He said he still
has to have faith in God and repeated "It's in God's hands."
8 Hussein stated the National Progressive Front, a
political party, first existed as the National Front from 1970-
1974. The National Front consisted of the Kurdistan Democratic
Party (KDP), the Communist Party, and the Ba'ath Party.
Political parties express differences in Iraq as occurs in other
countries. Some groups, including the Kurds, did not believe in
socialism along the same ideological lines as the Ba'ath. In
1991, the National Progressive Front never actually came into
being because of failure to pass the Constitution which was due
to the first Gulf War.
