Mrs. Yadgar的叙述展现了萨达姆政权的残酷和不公,她儿子Daoud被秘密警察无故抓捕并处决,体现了萨达姆政权对异见的残酷镇压以及对普通民众的迫害。这并非个例,而是萨达姆政权普遍存在的现象。 Joseph Sassoon教授的讲述揭示了1968年政变后伊拉克社会的巨大变化,恐惧弥漫在人们心中。许多人,特别是犹太人,为了躲避迫害而逃离家园,这反映了萨达姆政权对异见的压制和对社会稳定性的破坏。 Juman Cooper教授的经历以及她对萨达姆政权的分析,揭示了该政权对教育系统和社会各方面的严密控制,以及对异见的残酷镇压。许多专业人士为了生存被迫加入巴斯党,这体现了萨达姆政权对社会各方面的渗透和控制。 Ali博士对萨达姆政权的评价较为客观,既肯定了其在经济和社会发展方面取得的成就,如石油工业国有化和提高女性地位等,也指出了其暴政的本质,以及其对社会稳定性的破坏。 Saddam Hussein本人的言论和行为,体现了他对权力的渴望和对异见的容忍度极低。他通过各种手段巩固权力,对反对者进行残酷镇压,建立个人崇拜。 James Hyder的叙述揭示了萨达姆政权建立的严密警察国家,对异见者进行残酷的镇压和迫害,以及对受害者家属造成巨大的精神创伤。 Will Barden Werper对萨达姆的评价,揭示了萨达姆的个人魅力和权力野心,以及他如何逐步取代Al-Bakr,巩固自己的权力。 旁白对事件的客观描述,补充了其他发言人未提及的信息,使整个事件更加完整。
