200          FASCISM: THE BLOODY IDEOLOGY OF DARWINISM





                                            Amnesty International reported that 5,000 Kurds were
                                            killed in a single Iraqi gas attack on the village of
                                            Halabja, and many more thousands perished in similar
                                            attacks elsewhere in the country.  137
                                                   The torture inflicted on the political opponents of
                                            fascist Saddam was still worse. A doctor who fled from
                                            Iraq described: "I was an intern in a hospital in the
                      Saddam compares       South. Only doctors were allowed to see the people
                      himself to            brought from prison. Most of them were no more than
                      Nebuchadnezar, the
                                            lumps of meat, and most of them died. No political
                      pagan ruler from
                                            detainee lived through the torture. I fled when I realised
                      ancient Babylon.
                                            that I was about to be detained." 138

                                                   Even Saddam's own family and closest associates
                      Saddam had minted
                      to that end.) Like all  were victims of his cruelty. His step-brother Barzan
                      fascists, Saddam is   Takriti fled to the United Arab Emirates out of fear that
                      nostalgic for the     Saddam and his son Uday were going to kill him. Two of
                      savagery of ancient

                                            to Jordan out of fear of him. Saddam then guaranteed
                       them that their lives would not be in danger, but as soon as the brothers
                       returned to Baghdad, they and their father were killed. Later, their mother's
                       body was found cut to pieces, all which happened before the eyes of the world.
                              The Iraqi leader also uses cruel methods as well to intimidate
                       opponents who have fled the country. For instance, General Najib Salihi, who
                       escaped to Jordan in 1995, reported that his close family were raped and that
                       tapes of the act were sent to him. He also said that the same has been done to
                       many other opponents of the regime.
                              As we can see from these numerous examples, Saddam's authority in
                       Iraq is entirely based on intimidation, terror and torture, while the people
                       within his fascist regime are hungry, unemployed and living in poverty. Little
                       children are dying of hunger and lack of medicine, while the rest of the nation
                       is doomed for either death or extinction. Despite all of this, the people will say
                       nothing against Saddam, whether out of fear or from the effects of mass-
                       hypnosis, but instead blame "them," Saddam's enemies, for the poverty they
                       are suffering.
                              In Saddam, we can also discern several other fascist characteristics. Of
                       these is the way he compares himself to pagan dictators of the past, just as
                       the Nazis and other fascists had done. The "Sparta" that Saddam selected was
                       Babylon, a pagan empire of the ancient Middle East. He sees and portrays
