Saddam Hussein has called his planned execution a "sacrifice" for Iraq,
in a letter written shortly after he was sentenced to death by an Iraqi
court.
The hand-written letter also calls on Iraqis to unite and fight US
forces in Iraq.
"Here I offer myself in sacrifice. If God almighty wishes, it [my soul]
will take me where he orders to be with the martyrs," Saddam said in
the letter, which was obtained from his defence lawyers in Jordan.
"If my soul goes down this path [of martyrdom], it will face God in
serenity."
The defence team said the letter was written shortly after Saddam was
sentenced to death in November for ordering the killing of 148 Shias in
the town of Dujail in 1982.
Resistance call
The letter was written before the Iraqi High Tribunal appeals court on
Tuesday ratified the lower court's ruling.
"You have known your brother and leader as you have known your own
family. He has not bowed down to the tyrants and remained a sword
against them," Saddam said.
"Oh great people, I call on you to preserve the values that enabled you
to be worthy of carrying out shouldering the faith and to be the light
of civilisation... Your unity stands against falling into servitude."
The letter goes on to say: "Oh brave, pious Iraqis in the heroic
resistance. Oh sons of the one nation, direct your enmity towards the
invaders. Do not let them divide you... Long live jihad [struggle] and
the mujahidin against the invaders."

Lamb of God - "Who Takes Away the Sin of the World!"
"Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" This was
John the Baptist's declaration in John 1:29 upon seeing Jesus for the
first time. John the Baptist was "the voice of one crying in the
wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight'"
(Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3). He warned the world to "Repent, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:2). The Apostles "went out and
preached that people should repent" (Mark 6:12), and Jesus declared, "I
tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish" (Luke
13:3,5). "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be
blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of
the Lord..." (Acts 3:19). God Almighty has given this testimony to a
fallen world: "it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the
judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). Therefore, repent of your sins and accept the
Lord your God who "so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life" (John 3:16).

Hee will walk with Jesus Christ, our true lord and Saviour. He was reading his
Bible right up to the end.
