Who agrees with Saddam Hussein being given death sentance?

Question

Personally I think it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Sod the fact that he'll become a martyr, he'll still cack himself along with others waiting for trial.

Answer 1

I honestly don't believe it's our place to take someone's elses life.

Answer 2

I am not a bleeding heart liberal, but I don't agree with the death penalty. Saddam would probably suffer more by been locked up. People who were against the invasion of Iraq should decline to give a view on Saddams' fate, because, left to them, he would still be in power. I also have a problem with these self righteous Human Rights courts, because they are very selective about who they choose to prosecute. Why haven't any of the despotic leaders/regimes in Africa been put before the HR court? They seem to point their finger of justice only at those who offend against their left wing agenda.

Answer 3

We are losing sight of what caused this in the first place and that was 911. The person who we should have caught by now is Osama bin Laden. He should have been caught and have stood trial and Afghanistan should have been pacified. Iraq had nothing to do with it and there weren't WMDs. Were there ? I am not arguing Saddam Hussein is a nice man but ... he wasn't involved in the one event this is about.

Answer 4

Sorry I think you need to have a re-think on this one, when Saddam was in power he ruled ruthlessly yet his country ran smoothly with a good infrastructure, there were schools, hospitals electricity running water and the community knew where it stood.
Saddam had to govern a volatile situation with at least three different ethnic factions, Shia's , Kurds and Sunnis, and keep these factions together. He was accused of having Weapons of mass destruction which we know he did not and he was also accused of the mass killing of Kurdish men woman an children mainly based on mass graves found by the allies after the invasion and of course using chemical weapons. He had been used by the Americans, Russians and French and kept all the ethnic factions as one country. It is now widly thought that the graves are those of past wars with Iran soldiers and the Gas he used to control the kurds rebellion is obviously wrong but do we know the full circumstances. His biggest crime was to mess with America over oil and his insistance of getting a fair price for it. America is running out of oil supplies and is threatening to take over any country that has oil (Accept Russia of course) and this is worrying. Compared with countries in Africa 'Nigeria', Congo for example any so called atrocities Saddam has made are not significant, but are the allies trying to sought these dictators out (of couse not, No oil) Unfortunately Saddam is going to be a scapegoat to allow the allies to carry out other agenda's and to a certain extent I feel sorry for Saddam. As to who should be tried for war crimes 'America'has invaded Iraq knowing there were no weapons of mass destruction (the weapons inspectos sent to monitor the destruction of all such weapos made that clear long before the invaision) in the process used weapons such as cluster bombs and bombs that would kill every human being with in a radius of 5 miles the used weapons of mass destruction themselves, America has set up concentration camps simmila to that of the Nazis, they have tourtured , killed innocent women and chilodren, American soldiers have raped and pillaged, Killed 655,000 Iraqis and now a civel war. Nothing can get these lives back. The civil war has shown exactly what Saddams leadership skills were, The Iraqi authorities treat there people no better than Saddam and the new constitution are rummerd to have got in with mass vote rigging. It is not Saddam who should tried for war crimes ''LOOK CLOSER TO HOME''.

Answer 5

I actually don't agree with it at all. I hate the guy don't get me wrong, the things he did were dispicable but i don't think supporting such a sentance is the right thing to do, i mean is that not why he was prosecuted in the first place, for crimes against humanity? For us as supposedly 'civilised' nations to support this behaviour is hypocritical and we really need to think about this.

Answer 6

will cause more trouble than it solves. Jesus only got big after he was executed remember as it was a rallying call to those who followed him. Whilst im not saying Saddam is a messiah (far from,) he has fanatical support which will intensify and cause further unstability in an already unstable region.

As for an alternative, i would havedone a milosovic on him, dragged out the trial over several years (keeping it as dull as possible to divert media glare,) and just reveal he died in his cell one night

Answer 7

I don't think so is rigth, (i'm catholic, writing from Mexico, and is my bussines as same as you are in every where this world where you smell trouble, i also as citizen of the world be there to see what you doing there and if you have the reason to be there too as well as me) besides your president Bush is in this country for other wrong reasons, and you believe him, i think Bush has send more soldier to die in this war than the quantity Saddam killed was less than 500, here is 2600 soldiers and counting day by day, is true; the people believe in democracy the usa people, but what is the point of view on democracy on the eyes of and Iraqui woman or Iraqui man???, maybe they point of view is different due to religions and traditions of thousands and thousand of years, All the American continent (from Patagonia to Alaska) is very young compare to this old civilizations.

Answer 8

nonetheless Saddam Hussein replaced into an evil dictator who killed hundreds, has every person ever concept approximately who placed him in potential or who gave him his weapons of mass destruction. It replaced into none different that the U. S. itself. the U. S. is utilising Saddam Hussein as a reason to circulate in Iraq and take all of their oil. it relatively is that easy. on the tutor Democracy Now that they had an interview exhibiting that Saddam Hussein replaced into keen to renowned Israel in the event that they have been to return up with a answer that Palestinians have been to conform to. replaced into that interview shown interior the U. S. needless to say no longer, because of the fact if it replaced into that would mean that we does no longer be waiting to circulate to Iraq and take their oil. the reason that Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait replaced into because of the fact they have been doing something that affected their distant places money and that they've been dropping money. while they asked them to end they did no longer. If Saddam did no longer invade Kuwait then they might end being bellow the poverty line. ought to Saddam be accomplished, specific he ought to because of the fact that he agreed to cooperate with the U. S. to kill maximum of in Iran, yet in area of actuality that persons in fee of the U. S. including George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condolessa Rice ought to have been accomplished long until now that.

Answer 9

Death is actually too good for him, they should just have him be a janitor for the Coalition troops in Iraq cleaning the latrines and having to shine their boots, then after a couple of months of that put him to death out of mercy.

Answer 10

I think he got off too easy, what about the millions of people who lost their lifes and families who suffer from it. I think he should live with that in a square cemented room with a sheet on the floor so he can sleep on with dog bowls on the floor for when he is hungry and suffer from being denied of ever seeing daylight, rain, night time, trees, grass to walk on, the moon and stars, and no right to have anything but his sheet - no he would probably try to hang himself so one of those kids mats would suite him fine. So he should be allowed to live in a box with no contact to the outside world priveleges, nothing to write with, on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO for the rest of his life, so this way he starts off bored, then getting anxiouse, then going out of his mind - which wouldn't be hard 4 him 2 do because you have to be to be him, then he san suffer from completely going insane and living like that until his days are up which, I would pray for him to outlive anyone in the world. THEN ATLEAST SOME SORT OF JUSTICE IS DONE - ONLY BEING THAT HE FEELS AND RELIVES THE AWFUL THINGS HE HAS DONE.

Answer 11

I for one, "agree", HE had "no" second thoughts about taking innocent human live`s, "sometimes" just for his own entertainment.
As for being a martyr, "THIS CREEP IS IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING".
I don't agree with the death penalty, (as such), "but", in some case`s, it seems inevitable, and just.
