I just feel sorry for the guy even if he killed millions under his name. I don't feel right with anyone dying on earth even if they did they worst thing on earth which is killing. Is there anything wrong with that?

If you are simply opposed to the death penalty, then perhaps you aren't really feeling sorry for Saddam. And that alone in principle is not wrong.
But, if you are acknowledging that the man was an outright murderer and abuser, and you don't think he should be punished for that, then I would say that perhaps you are overly sensitive to what society determines is the ultimate retribution, since this man could never repay society, and if let loose (even in prison) could continue to promote and create a greater threat to society.
I have two views of this, one socially and the other based from an evolutionary biological view. The social view says we need to try to avoid killing as much as possible, even to spare the life of someone willing to come safely back into society. The other is that we are animals (aren't we?), and killing the threat to the pack is natural.
I would go one further and prove that our social view cannot be separated from the natural view if we are to survive. All you have to do is to look at nature and see what the patterns are. Eliminating the enemy or the scant few from society is a natural preservation that is hardwired into us -- if you believe the evolution story. You could even say this is true of the spiritual challenges between nature and spirit, or spiritual competitions between religions. All of it seems to apply, and none of it is exclusive of the other. In order to survive, the opposition needs to be surpassed - socially, naturally and spiritually - for all things and all ways are not equal. That is life.
Don't feel sorry for the man, just for the idea that true peace may take a while longer to come because of men like Saddam, that forces society to deal as they do. True peace as we hope may never come without some or many losing their idea of peace.

No, absoultly not. Your a human being with feelings. The way the media portrays Saddam is as an old feeble man, which can be easliy associated with a father or grandfather figure in your or anyone elses life with remorseful feelings towards this evil man. Saddam deserves death for what he did, But as for feeling sorry for him is perfectly justifyable, don't tell a group of people how you feel, keep it to one person at a time. For example if your at a bar DO NOT ask this question. If your in the car with your sibling or parent then ask this question, because no matter how its phrased this is a charged question.

No it's not wrong to feel sorry for someone facing the death penalty regardless of what they've done. It makes you a compassionate human being and I wish there were more of you.
I don't see the benefit in hanging Saddam even though I think he was a despicable human being. The death penalty is no deterrant to future dictators as these are deluded people who believe they are unstoppable.

No he abused his those with violence and torture. If he have been allowed to stay, his Sunni supporters could create a flow to have him return to ability and by that get their preferential scientific care lower back. No government could have even a huge gamble to artwork then. i don't think of the war is unquestionably recommended and sure, it thew a monkey wrench into the middle East, yet Saddam merits to die, and immediately for his place interior the gassing of the unarmed Kurds if not something. He would desire to be shown a similar mercy he confirmed the human beings who went into his jails and not in any respect got here out a minimum of he won't be tortured first as he did to all and sundry he seen his enemy.

I guess it isn't 'wrong'. Remember , the Pope himself condemned it.
I personally have been feeling sick as hell and totally depressed cuz of his execution .
Maybe he was truly an EVIL Man ..
but i see him as a 70 year old man , who lost both his sons , hated by his own people , whose body was dropped and neck broken to kill him... even the guards at the gallows taunting him...
... all at the behest of a man who has the blood of more than 300000 Iraqis and 3000 Americans on his hands. I still cannot fathom what made the americans vote for Bush...

You might change your mind if you were one of the victim's relatives. Or imagaine if you were the photographer filming the slaughter of people left half dead in the streets with no one around to help. I saw them and that would be a significant thing to rebroadcast right now as it's easy to feel for a man facing his penalty.

It's not so much the person as the humanity of the situation. He chose his path and it led to death. Feeling sorry for him doesn't change anything. If it makes you feel better, he didn't feel sorry for anything. You die by what you live by. As for me, saddam will not be missed.

No, I don't believe there is anything wrong with that. It doesn't mean u agree with or condone what he did in his life. It's kinda sad when u think of any one going thru their last hrs n minutes. However horrible he was, I think he felt fear just like all the ones he had put to death. He should hv, but it's still sad.

He didn't feel sorry for the millions of people he sent to their graves.
It's natural to feel sad when you see another human being seconds before he's going to die.
But he lived by the sword, so it's right and proper that he died by the sword.
