do you think SADDAMS execution should have been televised?

Question

i think death is a personal and private affair whether its an execution or normal circumstances, despite what he had done the footage is only fit for sickos and weirdos

Answer 1

I agree with you - I'm quite disturbed by the number of sick people demanding to know where they can watch a man being killed on the internet.

Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the man or his execution, watching him die isn't familty entertainment.

Answer 2

So if Saddam had hacked your mother to pieces with a butcher knife, or handcuffed your daughter and then tossed her off a 10 story building, would you feel the same way?

I sincerely doubt it.

What truly IS sick and weird is all the revolting pacifists saying that it isn't right to watch a man die. Funniest of all, it would seem none of these pacifist idiots have any personal experience whatsoever of any of the atrocities committed by this madman.

All of you, get off your disgusting little moral high-horses and use the sense you were given. People in Iraq had suffered FIRSTHAND the things Saddam did to people, or at least someone in most of their families had. Having a video of his execution that could be shown to these people is common decency. They NEED to know he's not gonna come back and hurt them anymore.

If someone grabbed your child and threw his hand into a food processor just for fun, you would scream and holler at the injustice in the world. It's a double standard I am truly sick of reading. All you bleeding hearts should move over there and experience FIRSTHAND how brutal and uncaring the REAL world is - then you'd be headed back here like your asses were on fire just so you could kiss American soil.

Saddam was NOT a human being. He gave up his human rights a LOOOOOOOONG time ago. Probably after dumping Sarin Nerve Gas on his first village. Did any of you fools see the pictures of the dead mothers still holding their dead babies in their arms? I bet you don't know anything about it. Yet, you choose to spout this "he was a human being" crap into the air like some Holier Than Thou bible belt religious group.

Open your eyes, idiots.

Answer 3

I have to say that even though I probably wouldn't have watched it myself, I am still a little curious about what it would have been like. I don't think I am a sick or sadistic person, it is part of human nature to be curious about things.
But the most important fact that everyone is forgetting is that this man was ruthless, he showed no mercy for the deaths of countless innocent men, women and children, all through his trial he was defiant and never said he was sorry for all the atrocities he had caused. He was definitely up there with Hitler in the evil category. Look at all his followers who still want to continue his evil. This man was pure evil and did nothing but spread fear and hatred among his people. I can't believe hypocritical people who say that he should have been shown some mercy and was entitled to a private death. How can anybody forget the shocking images that used to be portrayed on the news when he was president. I think that anybody who wanted to see his death should have been allowed. He didn't show any mercy to the people he killed so i think he got what he deserved in the end.


I need to add a note to Well D
"Brave in facing his own death"
OMG! what drugs or planet have you been living on, I think that you need to read up on all he has done in his life and then rethink your statement. Brave is a person who has fought through a tough life and come out the other side, not somebody who got thrills and pleasure from causing pain and suffering to countless innocents. WAKE UP TO YOURSELF

AND EVERYONE ELSE STOP MAKING OUT AS IF HE WAS SOME SORT OF SAVIOUR, CAUSE HE SURE AS HELL WASN'T

Answer 4

I don't get ANY pleasure whatching someone, or something, go through it's "Death Throws", I made the mistake of going Deer hunting once, I bagged one but, did'nt kill it, I had to go over and finish it off with that big brown eye looking at me, I threw up right after I did it, I felt awful, I felt ashamed for killing a lower life force that I had an advantage over, that just wanted to live out it's little life in the woods, I was so sad for weeks, so sorry I did it.... I guess "Killing" things is just NOT in me, I step around spiders on the side walk.

Answer 5

Exactly, and the fact is by televising it we are giving in to what the media and extremists want. Death for death is wrong and a sign of a society that is not quite learning to manage its self without reverting to age old solutions that dont really help anyone. Revenge is not something we should be teaching the new generations of people.

Answer 6

Absolutely not.
No death penalty should be televised.
If Bush and Blair are found to be guilty of crimes against humanity in unleashing the totally unwarranted war in Iraq ( I honestly believe they should be tried) , and are executed as a result, will I be able to see that video footage on the telly?
We should turn the table around to see how we feel.

Answer 7

What is the uproar about showing Saddams Hanging.
It is Sick what he done to all them poor Innocent men, women & CHILDREN over the years and plenty of that was shown on the news coverage.
It is upto the Individual if they wish to watch it, No one is made to watch it against there will.

Answer 8

Perhaps we should round up all the world's despots and warmongers, including George and Tony, and put them in a reality TV show. You dial an 0900 number for which one gets executed on live TV each week, and another 0900 number for whether it should be hanging, the axe, boiling oil or piano wire.

Answer 9

I am glad they didn't show the full video on TV. no matter what he did death should not be made a public spectacle of. people should not be encouraged and comforted by another human's death, no matter what that person did.

Answer 10

Personally they did what they did and no i dont think it should be of have been trelevised. Its sick to watch another die and even though justice has been done in most of our eyes, there will always be some that will disagree but it won't make it better it will make it worse.

I wouldn't watch another die its inhumane.
