This is a hypothetical question:
What if instead of having Saddam hung, he was kept in prison for life. It doesn't matter where, the U.S. or Iraq. Do you think his followers would break him out, or he'd escape?
Also do you think it was wrong for him to be hung or should he have been put in prison?

Hypothetical indeed. I don't think any escape would have happened if he had not been lynched. Hanging, while very brutal did not even compare to his brutalities. Life in prison somewhere would involve maximum security. Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega has been in a Miami prison for at least 15 years and I have never heard of any of his supporters trying to break him out.

Considering his wealth and political influence, it is impossible to say that he could be kept in prison for life. As long as he was alive, his political/criminal machine could hold out hope for a return to power. Political upheaval, a military coup, an official pardon, who knows? A prison break is not the only way he could get out. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but some day. Iraq would not have been safe from him as long as he was alive.

Someone would have done something stupid to get him out. The electric chair wouldn't be too painful either. I've been shocked with 120V and the pain sets in AFTER you've been electrocuted...Torture would be the best way, make him suffer over the period of a week or two but in a secret location so no one would try to break him out or even knew about what was going on.

hold close him, and hold close him extreme. so a techniques as no longer executing him no longer being an excuse for extra violence in Iraq, I disagree. i think of it is going to reason violence the two way and if he have been to be placed into penal complex, the penal complex might must be on 25/7 probability mode attempting to quit all of his cohorts from attempting to break him out of the penal complex. i do no longer think of there'll ever be peace in Iraq. those human beings do no longer comprehend what peace is, they think of that what is going on over there's a existence-style- merely via what they have lived in those style of years.

I believe he should of not been executed as that actually makes me very saaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!!!
Everyone deserves a second and maybe even a third chance!
Watch the movie {http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7532034279766935521}
VERY SAD
Why kill his family?
He is gone now and will never come back!
They should of kept him in jail for life or let him go for a chance.
He is old now and I am sure he did not mean to do that!
Why get rid of him?

Now he could easily escape from prison, since he's a ghost lol!
I think he got what he so richly deserved.

It's almost a certainty that the Sunni muslims would have made attempts to break him out in my opinion.

I support te execution and think if he had been sent to prison, there would have been several attempts made to break him out.

Against the hanging. His associates would have tried to break him out.
