Do you agree with the Death Sentence of Saddam?

Question

Will that solve things there in Irak?

Answer 1

Who cares...hang him high!

Answer 2

Death to Saddam is the only solution.
It will be appealed probably for the next 4 to 7 years and the sentence may never be carried out by hanging, maybe lethal injection.
I am not a fan of the death penalty. I believe taking someones life as punishment is not sane.
However, this man put live people through machines that were meant to shred plastic. His regime had, and there is overwhelming evidence of, rape/torture rooms where girls as young as 8 and their mommies were raped in front of the family before being gassed or shredded or shot or electrocuted or beheaded or dismembered or etc etc.
I truly feel he has earned a sentence for death. His death would favorably effect those who survived under his leadership.

Answer 3

I'm not necessarily a big fan of a death penalty, but two points:

The aim of killing him is not to solve something in Iraq. So in answer to that part of your question, no - it won't solve things in Iraq.

The other point though is this: Try to imagine that your mother or child or sister or grandfather or all of them were tortured or run through a shredder or whatever else was done to people. Try to imagine that your whole family was killed with gas or that women in your family were raped to punish you. If you're normal you would be damaged for the rest of your life because you'd have to live with the knowledge that this happened and the loss. If you're normal, you'd also want to know that at least some token justice was done. One of the worst things for families of victims is to know that on top of all the horror there wasn't even any justice done. Having to live with the horror is bad enough, but knowing justice has not been done can make people feel as if they're going to lose their mind for the whole rest of their lives.

I'm not a big fan of using hanging as a method to kill someone, but it is still better than his choice of methods so many, many times.

I think killing him will give his many surviving victims some small shred of feeling that at least some shred of justice has been done, and doing anything that will help their pain any is one of the main points to the death sentence.

It will also send a number of messages to any number of groups of people in Iraq and the world - from victims to sympathizers to whoever else - that could, in some ways, help the overall picture.

We can look at the somewhat frailish looking and nutty-ish looking little man in the suit when television coverage shows the trial and have trouble imagining this kooky-acting little man as having committed the atrocities he did over a period of years and years.

It won't solve things. It could help some things in some way. Either way, people shouldn't lose sleep over this guy.

Answer 4

Well no one must be punished with death .Because who order to kill ends to be a murderer too.I know that people hate him,so do I , but no one has the right to value or judge.The correct from my point of view ,would be try that Sadan saw and understood what he did and the most important thing he would ask for pardon throug the TV and thus all people would understand that we must change.

Answer 5

I don't think it will solve a thing. I agree with the death sentence. I wonder how many appeals he will get before it is carried out, though.

Answer 6

There is no happy solution. There is a chance that upon death Mr. Hussein will become a holy martyr and his followers will cause harm to many people. This is no good. On the other hand, genocides cannot become acceptable, so the guilty people need to be prosecuted and convicted.

Answer 7

I do agree with the death sentence of Saddam.I don't know if it will solve anything in Iraq tho.

Answer 8

To answer your question, Yes I agree with the death sentence.

Answer 9

No, they should have just shot him in the hole he was hiding in and move on. Killing enough of the enemy so they give up is the purpose of war, not putting them in a white-collar prison and wasting time & money on them.

Answer 10

no, wont solve anything and he wud be better suffering in jail than having an easy escape for all he did by being hung

Answer 11

I believe he should be hung, drawn, and quartered. His remains should be fed to jackals and ravens. His bones should be ground into ashes and be strewn to the winds. All who support his continuing life are condoning his crimes.
