Many Turn Out to Celebrate Hussein’s Would-be Birthday
Well, it wasn’t your typical birthday party.
Saturday, April 28th would have been Saddam Hussein’s 70th birthday. Most of us believe thats a day we don’t need to remember. But in Ouja, Iraq, hundreds of people celebrated. They carried flowers and unlit candles to Saddam’s tomb to mark what would have been his birthday. While most of us would be celebrating his death, kids wore white, and many wore badges bearing Husseins portraits. Songs were sung and cake was served in Hussein’s burial place.
