This question is definetly born out of the incident that happened today - Saddam's execution.
I was contemplating what the options were for a man as murderous as he was... Wouldn't a life sentence have been a more reasonable way to serve justice? It definely would have been an elongated the suffering of the criminal leader which seems more just than simply killing him; regardless of your religous intake on the situation - that perhaps he will pay the price in the end, or what not - it would seem more apporpriate that a life sentence would have done more justice?
Or should a murderer be killed, following through with the concept of "an eye for an eye"... ?
I don't know what you think, and that's why I am asking you for your opinion. Which, if you had the authority to choose, would you condem as a sentence for the Iraqi leader... a life sentece, or a death sentence (as has been the case...) and what would be the reasons for your choice?
Elaborate as to give a concise answer please.
