I know that Saddam is obviously a war criminal and has been punished by execution for crimes against humanity, but I can't see this doing much more than exacerbating things in the
Gulf. Or does anyone think his followers will get the message?

This will be "business as usual" for the Bush family in Iraq, and something for all Iraqis to watch. Capital Punishment is a blight on civilization. For us to encourage people to see yet another example that our policy is "violence is good," and that we stand for nothing noble is proof to those that oppose what is going on in Iraq should increase their opposition. Our invasion was contrary to international law and ethics. Bush Sr. supported, armed and trained the Bath party and its leader Saddam, supported him when he oppressed his people and then when he attacked Iran. Then in the first Gulf War, Bush Sr. encouraged the Kurds and Shiites to rise up and fight him, only to sit back and watch as Saddam crushed those who did so. To now go in, throw him out, bomb those that oppose our new choice for who should run Iraq, and then hang Saddam for all to see, is an act of such moral bankruptcy as to inspire the most apathetic fence sitter to join in the battle against us. Is it possible that there is anyone left in Iraq who still believes anything we say? How is it that Americans are allowing BushCo to completely destroy our reputation in Iraq, the world and our soul as well? Is this really what we want the world to believe America stands for? It disgraces all those who paid such a high price for our country to be a beacon of hope, freedom, and honor for the world

You pronounced: i think that a lot of human beings observed the photos of a matted finding Saddam after his seize and felt extra sympathy for him then his sufferers because of the fact they'd connect Saddam's face to suffering extra constructive then his sufferers. I say: hear! hear! Corrupt unwell f*cks deserve an end lots worse than excellent... however the lily-livered liberals say: oh noooo! ...do no longer execute every person, we are able to remedy this through doing X... i've got given up on the entire politics element earlier... people who can't grasp even the basics of arithmetic (the place you may nevertheless set up in some way what a 'precise' answer feels like) communicate 'as though' they'd grasp the lots extra complicated questions of politics... luckily, it is not significant 2 crappos as we are all area of a type of fascist state (liberals renowned this, whinge approximately it & then carry seminars, paint paintings of paintings & so on)... Hooray for fascism! - that's what I say... it particularly is what we deserve, lazy butt 'we'...

Middle East instability and primarily Iraq's originates from the burgeoning insurgency, who orchestrate and actualize their plots out of tiny cells without a defined head. The removal of one dictator, especially one who did not significantly motivate the hostile resistance, does nothing but extinguish a tiny fear. Conversely, he may be catapulted to martyr status and idolized by some. Saddam's incarceration did not decelerate the violence. In fact, violence has only escalated the following months. His execution won't bring any relief.

It may bring a little closure to the fear and terror he brought to the average citizen. It may also demonstrate that the newly formed government has some real teeth in it.
Surely it will rile some of his supporters - but, judging from the situation in Baghdad - they seem to be riled anyway - so who cares?
Bottom line: Can't hurt the situation any and it may help - so I say hang the dirt bag!
Side note: Wouldn't it be great if the message reverberated into a few of the other demented dictators in the area?

I think the death of Saddam Hussien will free the people of Iraq of the fear that he would somehow come back in power.

No. Extremist Muslims will blame it on "the Crusaders" and/or the Pope (I'm not Roman Catholic, by the way), and use it as more fuel to their mindless violence.
Looking at the internal lack of caompassion, and their own violent differences of opinion will not occur to them.

I don't think it will help matters but he should be executed for the crimes he did!
