No, we should have done something more humane, like covering him in tuna-blood and dumping him into shark infested waters.

I don't think any average, television-watching American is qualified to answer this question. This has been a one-sided media presentation from Day 1 (1989-90) before the first "Gulf War". Every leader had to make decisions that cause people to die. While Saddam Hussein was no angel... what world leader is?
Should Bush hang for the deaths of US soldiers and innocent Iraqi & Afghan children?
Life is life.. no matter how you slice it. Just because you were born in the US doesn't make you better than any other human on earth.

NOPE, because that is the martyrdom that all those freaks over there crave.
the problem with most Americans, is they judge that society over there based on the same guidelines that are society revolves around. their society is completely different and the view things completely different than we do.
when people were present at the execution crying that Saddam is a martyr, you know the problems are just beginning.

Saddam was a very, very bad person -- no doubt about it.
But the intentional death of any human diminishes us all. It also makes him a "martyr" to those who supported him. His death was revenge, plain and simple, and gave him a quick death that doesn't serve much as punishment.
It would have been more of a punishment for him had he been kept in prison with no access to the outside world for the remainder of his natural life. His execution serves no useful purpose -- like any execution.

Yes. The genocide of the Kurdish people a few years ago alone warranted that alone. Not to mention all of the other human rights violations he has done to his own people.

Sure, but that was for the Iraqis to decide , the collusion of the Bush Administration form the invasion of Iraq to the Hanging will never sit right with the Muslims in general.

Yes but hanging was too good for him. How about the chemical warfare he used on his own people, or the wood chipper he used on his own people. If you asked me he got out easy.

He deserved it yes but, whenever deomocracies video tape executions and then make them public, we are no better than the enemies we are trying to defeat.

Yes he deserves it. He lived by the sword and so he has died by it. I think people who prefer to see him suffer by being locked away in prison for ever are sadists just like he was.

Yes I do. He was an evil man and deeply belived in his ways of living and being a leader. He killed uncountable numbers of people and deeds that harsh need to be acted apon.

Yes. He ordered the torture and murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. His death ends the fear of his regaining power.
