Sadaam Hussein - death by hanging?

Question

Do you think he received a fair trial? - irrespective of his crimes. Do you think the trial process was fair?

Answer 1

It was much fairer than any of his victims got. His execution was fair and frankly I don't care if his trial was 'fair' or not.

Answer 2

Sadaam Hussein trial by any means was not fair. It was just a kangaroo court created by the Bush administration.

The United States Government is the biggest whore and hypocrite in the world. The United States was backing Sadaam Hussein when he was committing these so-called crimes against humanity but didnt do a thing about it because they wanted him to topple Iran. As a matter of fact, Donald Rumsfeld was in Iraq visiting with Sadaam Hussein when he supposedly gassed the Kurds. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/

Once the US is through using another country it seeks to topple its government. Remember, Manuel Noriega?

This whole war on terror is a farce and anyone that believes that Sadaam Hussein's death is going to make them safer is a fool. We have no right going into someone else's country overthrowing their government because they no longer fulfill our needs. I wish someone would come to our country and overthrow President Bush and take him and hang him from a tree. Then maybe the idiots that planned Sadaam's death will see how it feels to have their country violated.

Answer 3

I truly believe that Hussein's hanging was too cruel and vindictive. Although, he did commit some heinous and destructive acts in the past, wouldn't a last, some sort of honorable goodbye be more acceptable than something as sickly as hanging. The killing part of Hussein is deeply understandable but the whole hanging, especially the video capture of it, completely baffles and infuriates me. Show the guy some last respect by at least poisoning, whatever. I just have to say that the Iraq government were too harsh and relentless. Even, Hitler killed himself, with a shot, I believe?

Answer 4

The real issue here should be the fact that Blair condoned it, yet he effectively outlawed the death penalty in Britain, citing 'human rights'. If death is too harsh a sentence for the likes of Brady, Huntley, Sutcliffe, Thompson & Venables, Whiting and many others, then why is it OK for Saddam?
Irrespective of the numbers, a life is a life.

Answer 5

A lot of people went to great lengths to try to give a fair trial. Given the nature of society over there, it sounds to be about as fair as possible. Does it measure up to our legal system and standards... likely not, but then this is the Iraqis we are talking about... not us. And he was not a good person. And when he weilded a lot of power, many many people were unfairly brutalized.

Answer 6

i relatively have self concept that Hussein's putting replace into too merciless and vindictive. in spite of the particular basic certainty that, he did commit some heinous and unfavorable acts contained interior the previous, does no longer an extremely final, some kind of honorable see you later be extra helpful perfect than some subject as sickly as putting. The killing component of Hussein is deeply comprehensible besides the undeniable fact that the accomplished putting, noticeably the video grab of it, thoroughly baffles and infuriates me. coach the guy some very final rejoice with with the aid of ability of a minimum of poisoning, despite if. I surely might desire to assert that the Iraq government have been too harsh and relentless. Even, Hitler killed himself, with a shot, I even have self concept?

Answer 7

his trial was too fair if you can say that. by him being removed on several occasions and originally his refusal to recognise the court. i'm just surprised that they have already killled him if i'd been in charge i'd have made the hanging happen on new years eve so those that hated him could watch him swing as the clock struck midnight.
I know there are those lovers of violence that think sadam was a god and in the right to kill his people. they are the insane one in my opinion again based on if he was 100% guilty of the crimes he was accused of and executed for.
i only know what i know from bbc and htv news. so i'm like many non iraqis we just ont know the whole truth and probably never will know the whole truth. and to be frank providing that he was guilty of the crimes he was accused and hung for he got better than he deserved.
i want to know will we get to see him swing on british TV? they claim to have televised or rather recorded the event. so i guess iraqis will see him swing on television and will they release tha hanging as a DVD for the iraqis to buy?
and what will the title of that DVD be? something like sadam does swing? (makes me laugh just to think at the possibility and those of a certain age will get the joke there).

Answer 8

Yes, I think it was as fair as it could have been in the circumstances. He even had an Appeal which I also think was fair. Have you been, or do you know the people of Baghdad and / or Iraq? Ask them!

Answer 9

Most definitely. This was a truly evil man who murdered and tortured over 750,000 people during his rule. His favorite torture was the human wood-chipper. He liked to put them in feet first so it took longer to die.

I'm glad the trial was conducted by Iraqis. If it'd been in the US, he'd have been in appeals for the next 25 years.

Answer 10

For those of you who do not already know, he was executed at 3am. UK time December 30th.2006. I watched a news flash on the T.V. Yes, he got a fair trial, better than he deserved.

Answer 11

I think it was as fair as their legal system would allow for. As for the ethics behind the hanging part...I didn't blink one time when ordering the mass murder of people he didn't like...so he really has no rights, legally or ethically, if you ask me. He got what he dished out.
