"I am not going to answer to this so-called court, out of respect for the truth and the will of the Iraqi people. I've said what I've said, and I'm not guilty"

Saddam Hussein's quote is a defiant declaration of his refusal to solution to the court. He claims that his refusal is out of regard for the truth and the will of the Iraqi people. He is indicating that the court is not a legitimate authority and that his own words are more vital than the court's judgement. He is likewise asserting his innocence, declaring that he has stated what he has actually said and is not guilty. This quote shows Saddam Hussein's strong sense of self-righteousness and his rejection to accept any authority other than his own. It also shows his belief that he is the only one who can promote the Iraqi individuals and that his words need to be taken as the supreme reality.
