OKAY FIRST OFF DONT GIVE ME THIS BULLSHIT: he killed many so his execution was both necessary and just in that it was taped! he deserved life in prison. not only did they give him a free ticket to escape the hell he would have faced in life long sentence in prison, but they have contradicted thhemselves : he killed people so lets kill him? no human being has the right to take anothers life and then call it justice. whats different about execution? the fact that its a legal decision? execution is murder. point blank. im against the death penalty 100 percent if you couldnt tell so please dont sit here trying to explain the process, why it's in place, how it came to be, etc. i just want to know what your opinion is on it/ sadaam's execution. l8ter loves!

Are you forgetting how his sons taped torture and rape of women? It was documented by the Iraqi government. Now quite the same thing as taping it to terrorize others.
You ask a question and yet you then tell people you do not want to hear their justification. So what gives you the right to post your opinion while silencing others? I think that in itself is BS! And if you want your opinion to be taken seriously take the time to spell and use proper sentence structure otherwise you are not taken seriously.

1) he deserved life in prison
You're a hypocrite. You want him to have "hell" but ending the life of a mass murderer is somehow unfair. That's morbid - to wish him hell.
2) no human being has the right to take anothers life and then call it justice. whats different about execution?
Of course they do. When you commit an absolute crime you get an absolute punishment. Otheriwise your statement becomes 'what gives us the right to judge others?' and then there's no such thing as crime at all.
3) execution is murder
Well yea...duh. But it's obviously justified to murder someone who has murdered others. That just seems simple common sense...otherwise you're saying life doesn't have value. If a person steals a million dollars how can a penalty of $1 be ok?...the punishment has to be comparable with the crime to mean anything. Since you can't get life back and it's the most valuable thing there is there's no much else that's fair except to remove that person's life.
I don't kill because I don't want to be killed...it's a the fundamental premise of all morals we have!
I say if you're against the death penalty then you're against people living safe lives. You want it both ways and it's childish.

I don't think a person's execution is ever "enjoyed."
But you can take some comfort in the fact that it was the courts of Iraq that sentenced him to death. It is the surviving family members of those that have been murdered by Saddam that are now celebrating his death.
As you say, he has escaped a long prison term. Take some comfort also that the execution was therefore somehow merciful in that it spared him decades of suffering daily in a prison cell.
Perhaps if you were Muslim; perhaps if it was your family Saddam had murdered, or your child, you would not be so quick to condemn those that require what God requires of us.

A minor misspelling of the name. More to the point, I consider the execution to be fully justified and entirely appropriate. Your assertion that no one has the right to take another's life is not logically supportable: if I were a police officer and had to kill an assailant to keep him from killing you, I would do so with a clear conscience.

Without getting into a discussion about capital punishment, you need to realize that it was taped in order to establish the fact that it was he who was executed, so you don't have the conspiracy theories of "He got away at the last minute and they executed someone else in his place". It was not televised live, and it was not a "spectator event".

Execution by hanging is being kind to him. He should be humiliated and tortured in prison for a few years to understand how his political captives felt during his reign before being executed.

Americans are sounding like animals after Saddam's death, wanting him beheaded, wished it was a public execution, etc. I am disgusted with the reactions by the Americans over a hanging we had no right to be involved with. It was not our right to to imprison him over crimes that did not involve America and was never a threat to us.
