As Christians we do not rejoice that he will die, we hope that he will repent and realize the truth. If he truly repents and believes in Jesus(speaking from a Christian view point), maybe the Lord in his mercy may make a way out for him or if he dies, he might have a place in heaven. But alas, till he die, he was so defiant and showed no remorse whatsoever.
There is a freedom of choice but there is no freedom of consequences. The international law and the Geneva Convention is against atrocities towards mankind. If caught and proven guilty, the guilty party is put to death. Saddam knew that but he wanted to defy it. He knew the consequences but yet he killed and tortured thousands of people. He had the choice and he thought he would not be caught. He chose and he was caught. Now, he had to face the consequences of his actions.
What happened to Saddam has got nothing to do with us or the world. It was his choice. The law was there before. If he was afraid of the consequences, then why did he tortured thousands?
Therefore we cant blame the governments, the Christians, the Shites or anybody for his death. He chose his own path.
Therefore the moral of the story is that if you are afraid of the consequences, then do not do it.

It is appropriate that he is dead. I'm not so sure that hanging was what needed to happen. When we stop and consider all the atrocities that were committed by him or at his command it really makes you wonder where the JUSTICE is . My human side feels that he should have been turned over to the family's of the millions and let them kill him, or maybe take him up about 3000 feet and shove him out without an a parachute so he has a while to experience horror and know that there is nothing he can do about it. Of course he is burning in hell for eternity and he has to face AN ALMIGHTY God and bow before him and acknowledge that he is Lord. So Knowing and believing that I guess that Justice has been done. At least he didn't get life in a luxury resort all expenses paid by the tax payers, like happens so often here in America.

No. The death penalty brings society down to the level of the evil ones which it is trying rid itself.
December 29: Vatican official says executing Saddam would be wrong: http://www.kwqc.com/Global/story.asp?S=5865506&nav=menu83_2
December 30: Vatican spokesman denounces Saddam's execution as 'tragic': http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2006-12-30-vatican-saddam_x.htm?csp=34
Jesus, John 8:1-11, spares a women guilty of adultery whom the Mosaic Law said should be stoned to death.
If the guilty person's identity and responsibility has been fully determined then non-lethal means to defend and protect the people's safety from the aggressor are more in keeping with the common good and the dignity of the human person.
The Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives.
However in today's modern society, the capability of rendering the offender incapable of doing harm - without definitively taking away from him the possibility of redeeming himself - the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity are very rare, if not practically non-existent.
With love in Christ.

Why are you asking? Are you really looking for an intelligent discussion on this subject in which you will be able to formulate intelligent stimulating and infromative information to share with us all?

Actually, he should have been drawn and quartered, then they should have hacked him up in tiny bits and fed him to the dogs.
But then again, what did the dogs in Baghdad do to deserve such awful food?

sure, why not. the only friends he had left were libbos, so he really had nothing left to live for. although I really did like him, he was just not getting anything accomplished in jail. that's how it is though. you get a good man and Bush takes him out. just ain't fair is it ?

I think it is a breathtaking act of hypocrisy to kill anyone because they killed people. He killed people in an act of revenge for an assassination plot. We kill him in another act of revenge. He killed thousands, we killed thousands. He was "right" from his viewpoint. We are "right" from ours. Time to take a good look in the mirror.
