to see the fear in his eyes. I know he was cruel and should pay for what he has done. But it was humbling to watch him walk to his death, knowing there was no way he could take back what he had done. Just knowing that your life is about to end...scary

I think that is the part that bothers most people. I was shocked to find out that there are still two states in the US that gives condemned inmates the option of hanging. It just seems rather third world. Saddam was a ruthless dictator and deserved just what he got - but I don't want to see it! Yuck.
He killed thousands of innocent people. His own people at that. Not to mention all of the people he killed in Iran and Kuwait. He was more paranoid then Hitler and he along with his secret police destroyed not just families but entire villages of people. The secret police raped wives in front of husbands, threw babies in the air and shot them and tortured children - all in an effort to get confessions of disloyalty to Saddam.

Im having a crisis of conscience over the hanging of Saddam. I know the guy killed alot of people, and was a tyrant. But it cannot be argued that the country was alot safer under his rule. And the reasons we went in to remove him, have entirely faltered. I mean, Im not trying to excuse this guy...he was horrible. But, it seems like we're executing a man who, in retrospect, should never have been deposed in the first place. I think anytime you can take a dictator out of power, its a good thing. But we havent found WMD's, basically plunged the country into civil war... So, what good did we do? People no longer need to fear Saddam, but they need now to fear the up and coming and warring tribes who, essentially, just took his place. It's a cycle that never ends and never will end. Will the deaths keep coming? We traded one tyrant for 3 groups of tyrants. AND...now, looking in hindsight, it looks like we quite illegally deposed Saddam, and, are responsible for his death.

I accept as true with s0190331 above my answer. the u . s ., uk & Germany provided Saddam with each and every thing he mandatory to gas all those people. Saddam exchange right into a chum of the west no longer that some time past, basically like Taliban

I feel saddened for the people who are scarred by his previous actions, and I feel saddened for the families and loved ones, who are scarred from losing loved ones, both who live in Iraq and the military men and women that have lost their lives and those suffering injuries because of his evil leadership.

Well, when you think about all the lives he has taken in his life it sort of works itself out, but I agree it would be scary knowing that your life is about to end. But, I think if given the chance he would do it all over again, sorry, that is just how I feel.

Absolutely not, why would I feel saddened by a man who did very similar things like Hitler did. Killed many innocent people.
It is a shame that he did not have a slow death.

It is very scary and I pretty much knew that he would be scared...he may have done some monstrous things but he was still human after all.

I didn't know it had happened as of yet, however, I would certainly NOT have watched. How barbaric. He was killed in the same manner he was condemned for doing.
It wasn't right when he murdered people and it most certainly is not right for a government to be doing it to him.
IT'S THE SAME THING!! PREMEDITATED MURDER!!
Peace.

Saddened? No. Happy? No. Justice is not something that is comforting, but it still needs to be carry out.
