Anyone feel Bad about Death Penalty even for Saddam?

Question

We suffered alot under his government and destroyed the whole country, but yet I feel bad about that execution. and sometimes mix feelings, when someone defend him make him as "great", I say "let him executed"..but then I feel bad ... and now I feel like our Iraq and States are doing very inhumane thing. telling him he would stay alive for minutes. how bad is that feeling?

Answer 1

Yes.. openly I do !!!!!

No one would be willing to kill another human being... even certain kinds of animals...

I am definitely against that lack of humanity...

And I hate the S.O.B. Saddam !!!!!!!

Have a happy 2007

Answer 2

I feel conflicted about the death penalty. However, I can't say I feel much sympathy for Saddam. I try to imagine how I would feel if my children, parents, sister were victimized and murdered under Saddam. If I was alone on this earth because an evil man killed my sons. I can understand wanting someone to die because of that loss. I try to keep that feeling in mind when I discuss the death penalty. My sympathy is with the victims only.

Answer 3

i am a Kurd from northern Iraq,i know Saddam has killed so many people,,innocent people,children,,woman,,men,,old people...he punished people for being Kurdish or Shiite,,,he was a horrible man,,and i wanted him dead more then anything,,BUT, he was 69 years old,,and i saw the full video of his execution,,and deeply inside i feel bad,,just by the expression on his face,,he was soo scared and nerves,,he didn't want to die especially by hanging,,i saw how he looked right before he was dead and also after he died,,it was horrible. but this is how i feel,,he was evil and he is going to hell no doubt,,i guess i just don't feel comfortable seeing someone die,,and his last few moments,,its just so scary..i think they should have locked him in a strict jail,,and let him live his life in pain,and misery,and a tiny room all to him self until the old man died!!!!! that would have been more punishment then just taking his life,,also i think this will bring even more violence in Iraq,,but i hope to God it doesn't.

happy Eid!!!!

Answer 4

As an Iraqi, I feel that anyone who makes their country suffer as much as Saddam did when he ruled, should suffer the consequences. But, though this is not an excuse for his behavior, Saddam didn't live as well as you thought he might have, from when he was in his mother's womb and until the day he died. I just think that it's nobodys decision, except God, who lives and who dies, no matter what the crime. And knowing that everyone hates you, and ridiculing you until the last breath is just icing on the cake. May he rest in peace, and may God forgive him for all the wrongdoings in his life.

Answer 5

There is always a brutality about the killing of a human being and it's questionable whether a state should do this. But what bothers me is the timing. Will he be executed now so that more violence erupts and Bush can justify a troop surge.

Answer 6

No, the dying penalty isn't undesirable, and that i've got a large feeling that those professional-dying penalty proponents are going to whip your ***. There are not any good arguments against capital punishment. on the different hand, there are various arguments in want of capital punishment: -it serves due justice (the punishment suits the crime), and serving due justice is the NO.a million job of a courtroom of regulation (combating crime isn't their job) -it exhibits that we are difficult on crime -it gets bang for the taxpayers greenback -criminals given the DP have a nil% recidivism fee -It holds human beings responcible for the terrible content cloth of their character. This fulfills what MLKJ continually needed: decide no longer with the aid of the colour of your dermis, yet with the aid of the content cloth of your character. The characterof those criminals warrants dying -It holds the criminal responcible for his movements -appeals and **** aside, it is extra inexpensive then penal complex -it decreases the penal complex inhabitants, which saves much extra taxpayers money -because of the fact the dying penalty is the punishment given with the aid of a neutrel decide, there is no vengance in it. consequently, there is no ethical objection available with the dying penalty. -The dying penalty defends human rights with the aid of installation a mentality that "we will not tolerate any violation of any harmless person's human suitable's

Answer 7

When you start to feeling sympathy ask yourself how much sympathy he felt for the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's he had executed.

Ask yourself if he gave it a second thought anytime a child died due to his gasing the Kurds.

I'm not completely comfortable with executing anyone but if there is anyone that deserves to die for his deeds, it is Saddam.

Answer 8

I'm morally against the death penalty for anyone. Taking another life is wrong. Just because the state does it, doesn't make it right.

Answer 9

I agree with Antonio. Under no circumstance would I ever agree to state sponsored killing. Genocide and his list of crimes are wrong and violations against humanity but why not let him sit in jail in misery. Its an anciet and uncivilized practice.

Answer 10

Many who live deserve death, and some who die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Don't be too quick to deal out death in punishment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Answer 11

No i do not feel bad about saddam getting the death penalty! They should televise it to show other terriosts what their fate will be!!!!!!!
