All of a sudden, I'm nervous. He was a brutal dictator, to be sure, but is it our place to hang him? Okay, assuming the Americans aren't in control of his trial, are we doing the right thing by allowing the Iraqis to hang him?

Not our decision.

The Iraqis are hanging him , not us. Keep in mind what you said yourself, He was a brutal dictator who has over 200000 known victims of his ruthlessness. If the Iraqis don't execute him then they will be defying their own laws including Muslim law which prevents the killing of another Muslim. You can't have it both ways, euther the Iraqis are sovereign as a nation and can determine his faye themselves or you condone Saddam's actions. I don' like it either , but it is just!

Absolutely!
For those against capital punishment, try to think of Saddam's victims. What did they do to warrant their own deaths? This man brutally murdered over 300,000 plus people! He was called "The Butcher of Baghdad" for a reason. It's about time he answered to the ultimate judge. This life is only temporary; it's the next life in either heaven or hell that we are all working for. He deserves his fate in this life, and whatever he receives in the next, he deserves that too.

sure, putting Saddam became the suitable subject and it became honest. Now Saddam would be unable to homicide extra human beings. Saddam became a merciless, evil murdere who filled mass graves with peopel he suspected opposed him in any way. Saddam even used shredding machines designed to recycle plastic to kill human beings with the aid of shredding the human beings ft first.

Yes; of course.
It shouldhave been matter-of-factly done within the week of capture - swiftly and surely to scare the radicals and terrorists out of their wits.
We have been so lenient with everything that we look so weak, the opposition just play havoc, like defiant little children who are allowed to get away with everything.
It's all there.
It's been too attention-getting, and too drawn out.
They would greatly slow down these terrorists if they refused to report anything on them, except when yet another had been brought to trial and swiftly and surely convicted.
That's what they want to report!
News media are so terribly thoughtless and unintelligent!

Well, I would say that it is up to the Iraqis on what they want to do with him. After all, they were the ones that he tortured and brutally ruled over. It should be up to them.

First of all the Iraqi council made their own decision. He brutally had his own people butchered for nothing. If they think he needs to die for it so be it. Its in their hands. And I don't feel nervous or sorry for him one bit. I think about all those poor innocent people he had killed.

Oh the irony. We blame Saddam for being a cruel dictator... and then he is sentenced to hang by the very court our government helped create.

No, he should not be hanged.........he should tied up infront of a group of soliders, US soldiers, and shot to death. It is because of people like him that our soldiers are away from their families and are put in harms way. So I say shoot away! But since I know that would never happen, I am all for the hanging!

Of course they should hang Saddam. He tortured and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's. He's not dis-similar from the Nazi's who were hanged after WWII.

What I believe is, its not about Saddam. Its about everybody who has done wrong. And a wrongdoing of such a magnitude (killing hundreds of thousands of people) needs severe punishment. So he is getting what he deserved.
