I am against death penalty.
And I know, I speak very easily about it as none of my family and friends have ever been killed by another being.
None in any war, none by accident, none by crime.
No one has been tortured either.
So, as it is, I am living in a totally different country and we have not such a tyrant and torturer here, so, it seems very easy to be against death penalty, is it?
And I know, for me and I doubt for anyone it is not in the slightest possible to imagine what life is under a dictator so...
I can not exactly feel pity for that particular man or any cool-blood murderer for that matter and all that makes my answer both honest but very shallow.

Yes! Saddam got what he deserved.
I'd like to ask those who say Saddam should have been imprisoned for life if they would not rather the food he would have eaten be given to the Iraqi children he starved so he could build more palaces for himself.

AC....
Do I agree Saddam executed to death, rationally?
As opposed to what? Executed to just about to nearly dead?
I know what you mean...just like to the questions I answer clear...yes I agree. The alternative? Keep him alive and a symbol for both those that fear him and support him? No, it was time; past time to close that chapter of Iraq's history.

Confinement is better for that idiot. However, he should have been given a chance to appeal a few more times...didn't he only get one chance?
Saddam knew that death will come to him, sooner or later. Why death? Why not living death? He deserves it.

No, I wanted solitary confinement. BUT..... had Saddam been tried in an American court, I don't believe he would have been put to death (at least given his age he would have died before his appeals ran out). As he was tried in an Iraqi court, they issued the sentence their law calls for. Ironic isn't it?

His execution was more for the healing of the people who he tortured, murdered, and slain over the years. This gave them the closure they needed to know that monster is gone forever. this was not about or for Saddam. This was for his millions and millions of victims.

I'm all for it, only his hanging was to easy. They should have set him free in the streets first, then beat him with electrical cables, brokes his limbs, flogged him, raped him, cut out his tongue, then hung him from the back of a tow truck at the very place where the statue was that we tore down. Then justice woukld truly have been served, but I'll take what we got. Atleast he was a man about it and didn't wear a hood.

No murder is rational when it is done by the sinful hands of mortal man.

Crimes against Shiites and Muslims,.....yes he needed to be shot instead, it would of been less painful, but they wanted him to see his body dangle and feel no pain until it glows dark and then your dead.
