Should they have killed saddam?

Question

I believe it is the worst mistake with a dire set of outcomes...more children will die now :(

Applause to those who think killing is right....sarcastically...

Yes I fully understand the victims want him dead..but killing is still wrong...by example.

Additional Details

no one questions when i say more children will die now..... and i didnt say give him his killing job back...jeez, think about it... i mean, we have as a world just told people, killing is ok if the reason is good enough....

Sorry... that is irrational and wrong... angrily correct but in reality, wrong.

PLEASE READ WHAT I PUT AND THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOUR EMOTIONS MAKE YOU REPLY BLINDLY

Your as bad as saddam... emotion ?

it seems i am not alone with emotion..this is how "we" deal with things... ah oh yeah...the "we" part..

see you drew a short straw, "we" as in the human race.

Answer 1

No.
Better that he suffer in jail.
Death is his freedom.

Answer 2

Saddam was a mass-murdering rapist, who killed hundreds of people (many were his own civilians.) If there's anyone on earth who deserves to be executed it was him.

As for the whole "more children will die now" bit, that's just stupid. People who are planning terrorist attacks to blow up children will do such things regardless of what punishment Saddam is given. Maniacs like that don't need a excuses for such acts. They'll do it IRREGARDLESS. If not after his executionl, then they'll find some other BS reason down the reason.

And we this "we" stuff? By that, I suppose you mean America, becaue hey, America is the world's favorite whipping boy right now. America didn't put Saddam on trial, the new Iraqi government did.

Answer 3

Perhaps you should think more and not let your emotions get the best of you. Your the one with the all is dire, children will die reflex reaction.

More children will not die now. Perhaps you do not recall all the children who died at Saddam's own hand. Including fellow Muslims. Kurds, Iranians, Kuwait children. His troops even took babies out of incubators at the hospital in Kuwait. You seem to have a short memory.

You are entitiled to your opinion and yet you insult those that don't agree with you. We are in titled to our own opinion as well. If you have a problem with his killing then take it up with the Muslims who executed him.

I for one will continue to celebrate his death. That is my right. Whether you think it's wrong or not.

Answer 4

If your family was Kurdish you might feel differently. And yes,some have the right to kill, but its not the Butcher of Baghdad or his henchmen.

Answer 5

What she said. It would of been better for him to rot in prison until he died. By giving him death, he gets away from everything. You're basically giving him what he wants.

Answer 6

WoW, But No I think they should have gave the man time in Jail and later ESCAPE.

Answer 7

i think we should apologize to the people of Iraq and put him back into power, Saddam told the united states you dont understand this country and he was right

Answer 8

yes he got what he deserved and had what was coming to him. jesus said in his word if you live by the sword you will die by the sword

Answer 9

yes Of course !

Answer 10

Whatever, he's dead now, get over it.
