Disagree because I don't feel we have a right to take anyones life for any reason. I also think that the violence is going to get really bad and we are going to lose allot of soldiers because of it.

We have no take on it. Saddam was a president in his country, Irak, and so it is only fair that his fate is decided by those who he caused so much suffering to. Let's not forget, he's killed thousands and thousands of people....
It may seem very barbaric and an ''ancient'' way of getting rid of someone, but on the other hand, if Iraq's Supreme Court decided to make this decision, they have all the reasons in the world to get this old dictator to get hanged, don't you think?
Even if he would stay in prison forever, it would be granting him a chance to live, to breathe the same air as everyone else, to walk on the same world, to eat/to sleep.... In my eyes, he's lost all of those rights many years ago, and so I can't wait for the day that the Iraqi's will see Saddam's dead body. What a PRICELESS satisfaction on their side. Of course I'll be happy too, but I don't even have the slighest idea of how much they suffered, I don't even think it can be described in words.

Disagree.
It has been proven that we had no justification to invade Iraq. So, instead of living up to our mistake, we had to invent reasons to bag Saddam. Does anybody know what he is being charged for, what he is guilty of, and being hung for? For gassing the Kurds, which WE ordered him to do and with OUR weapons. And now we invaded a country that was stable and the president is going to hang. This is going to be publicized in the media like crazy and cause a frenzy of more ant-American sentiment all over world, thus causing our already fragile-and-falling-apart international crisis to worsen. We are silly to think that the "sovereign Iraqi government" made this decision. WE were the ones who put them in power. Do you really think we are going to endure the cost of invading and occupying a country just to put an independent government in there that will be yet another thorn in our side? We've run down a slippery slope and somewhere, sometime, someone is going to have to be the bigger person and just stop the fighting.

Saddam was convicted by a tribunal hand-picked by Americans.
The crime he was convicted of was the murder of 128 of his citizens. Of course, he was a cruel and inhumane dictator who directly or indirectly was responsible for murder, rape, torture and other atrocities.
However, at this point, the US has killed far more Iraqi citizens as well as over 3,000 of our own in the war. It's hard to justify executing Saddam under those circumstances.
Letting him live in prison seems like a far worse punishment for such an arrogant man.

They should hang him. He ended the lives of many thousands of Iraqi's during his reign through torture, violence and chemical warfare.
He was found guilty in a court made of Iraqi's and a majority of the Iraqi populace want him gone. He deserves what he gets after what he did. Time to pay the MAN for his actions.

Yeah, I agree! This man has very little concern for human life. As a leader of his people, he led through fear. Families, not just soldiers, perished because of his dictate. He made decisions as to the fate of other men, that only God has the right to make.
You can rule some of the people all of the time, or you can rule all of the people some of the time. but you cannot rule all of the people all of the time! His time is up!

They hung Saddam because of the nasty issues he had and has accomplished to the human beings he replaced right into a frontrunner of....he murdered human beings because of the fact they did no longer have the same ideals as him and for a botched assassination plot...he murdered an entire city because of the fact of it....sure he did get off basic...too basic....

Disagree, I'm against capital punishment. However, had a family member of mine been killed by Saddam, I would want him dead.

Whether or not Saddam hangs is not up to us. He was tried by the Iraqis. He committed crimes against them, not us. It is not our call.
That said, I don't have any problem seeing him hang. If criminals can get away with torturing and killing, what's to deter them?

I rather have a firing squad because I think it's quicker and less expensive than a injection but more private than a hanging. No on the hanging.
