so you mean by saying :
millions haven't died in this war, thousands yes..
it is ok to kill thousands of innocent ppl
who Deserve to live peacefully
The war has made the situation worse

Answer 1

No he didn't, when you compare him to George Bush, he didn't kill as much as him! Bush deserves it more! But I agree with you Iraq was in peace when he was the leader.

Answer 2

I say the bastard deserved it, imagine if it were your family he had killed. Maybe Iraq was safer then than now but at what price. If you opposed Saddam, you were killed, so how is that being safe. Ask Kuwaitis how safe they were when Saddam was President and took over their country. Safer only if you agreed with Saddam, no one deserves to live like that. And I have to point out that millions haven't died in this war, thousands yes, hundreds of thousands, maybe. Certain battles alone in past wars have yielded more deaths than the 3+ years in Iraq.

Answer 3

I dont think of there are various governments who could desire to place their palms on their hearts and say they have by no skill commited any incorrect doings!! i understand Sadam has accomplished lots incorrect yet i don't have faith he could recieve the loss of life penalty for various motives. One reason being that i think the loss of life penalty is incorrect!! no person has the suited suited to take yet another persons existence for any reason no be counted if legalized or no longer!! homicide is homicide and easily God can provide existence or take it away. i think of a greater effective punishment for Sadam may well be to condemn him to existence in detention center with perplexing hard paintings. Or make him slave for the folk he oppressed. If this guy is carried out then in some peoples eyes he may well be seen as a martyr or a hero. additionally there has been to many situations the place harmless human beings have been carried out just to recieve a pardon later while that's located out they have been infact harmless of the crime they have been carried out for. What solid is a pardon once you're lifeless? (i'm no longer asserting this applys to Sadam). Why have been the folk who have been in touch with sentencing those harmless human beings to loss of life then no longer charged with homicide as that's what that's. homicide is a pre -contemplated act and those human beings knew they have been going to end someones existence. How might you experience if this grow to be your father or mother or brother or sister or son or daughter and worse to then locate out years later they have been harmless? You hear on the information daily of harmless human beings being released from detention center after a misscarriage of justice. What if that they had recieved the loss of life penalty?

Answer 4

The butcher who enjoyed his work? He was mad in his thrist for blood. Yes, he killed a million people not the US. Iraq was not safer. Saddam had people killed and tortured all the time. He was lucky the US held him safe, because had the Iraqi's held him he would have been tortured first then hanged.

Answer 5

Saddam was a genocidal murderer. He was guilty of many capital crimes. His continued existence would have had to be in prison with no hope for release. The state has no obligation to house, feed, clothe, entertain and guard such an individual. His execution was the most just and expedient method to deal with such a criminal and waste of state resources.

Answer 6

He deserved death but it was a stupid thing for America to do politically. Life in prison would have been smarter. If you ask me, this was a revenge killing by Bush Jr because Saddam tried to kill his daddy in desert storm.

Answer 7

I am a firm believer in the death penalty. I actually think our own judicial system need some updating. Do you actually believe that if a person commits murder he or she should spent the rest of their life in prison where all there needs are being met. A place where they are clothed and fed and all of their medical expences are taken care of? Or are you like me who thinks that you should pay equally for the crime in witch you commit.

Answer 8

Let's say, just for arguments sake, that he only killed one person. He had this person dropped on the end of a rope. When this person's body suddenly stopped, the rope ripped his skin around his neck and broke his spine. And let's say this was your brother!!
What do you think?

Answer 9

if you truly think iraq was safer than ask the kurds how they felt about ethnic cleansing. and using the same logic, would you think the us would be safer under a dictatorship perhaps freedom may be underrated for you but not in my book.

Answer 10

I think yes, but I felt strangley at a loss after hearing that it had been carried out. I don't know why. I do think his crimes merit execution, but for some as-of-yet unknown reason, I feel wrong about it.
