So Are we Better then him?

Question

Now that Saddam is dead...have we cured the diease to our war or has the blood stained the hands of our unborn children?
SHould i start fighting wrong with wrong, bad with bad...evil with evil?

Please explain the logic of giving an "evil" man an escape to his punishment. Why would dying be any type of punishment?

Help, I am over whelmed.

Answer 1

This frustrates me to no end. Why don't people go and visit the graves of all the dead that Saddam killed, speak to some of the women and children that he had raped, ask a husband how it felt to watch the females in his family be raped and tortured, then speak to his Army as to how one Human could perform these acts or stand by and do nothing. I agree that a hanging was to easy, he should have been shot, only in places that would not have killed him, castrated, throw in some kind of anal torture then burned to death. I think that ANYONE who feels that he should not have died, has never really witnessed anything so horrible. We have laws and when one is in trouble they yell about some kind of mental disorder, TV made me do it, music made me do it, post par-tum depression made me do it and the list could go on forever. These people usually commit they same type of crime, so you must ask your self, Did they ask the victims of their crimes how they would like to die?

Answer 2

When you have a cold, and take cold medicine, are you curing the disease or simply removing one or more unpleasant effects? You do not cure the disease, but remove the symptoms of the disease so that you can function.

Saddam wasn't the cold. He was the congestion, the puffy eyes, or the fever that is the result of the cold. Someday, we'll cure the cold. Until then, we eliminate the symptoms.

Blood stained our hands when we let Saddam get away with destroying 1000's of men, women and children in the first place. Blood would continue to stain our hands if we did not bring him to an appropriate justice.

Answer 3

The social belief structure that they have, believe that really bad people get punished by death. We can't be held responsible for what happened to him... It was his own people who determined it, so don't feel over whelmed. America just helped in bringing in a tyrant that starved his own people, slaughtered thousands, and lived a life of luxury the whole time doing it. If he were to live, there could also be the chance of his followers to over throw the government again with a coupe. With Saddam out of the picture, it is not as likely someone as rotten will gain power.

No, our government is still thinking we should be over there and fight killing millions of ones who did nothing wrong. I don't think we should have put Saddam to death, I think we should have made a movable cage, and set him in the ruble of the twin towers, made him seat in there for a few days, so he would see how much we care about our other fellow humans and people can go by and gawk at him, or maybe throw rotten food. You, you just need to relax, things will happen if you want them to or not. It's called life.

Answer 5

Having Saddam executed is the world's way of ridding evil and sending a message. We will always have evil in this world and now we have a little less at least for the time being. We sent him to his misery... he did not escape it...his punishment is eternal unless - and this is may be hard for us to understand - he accepted Jesus as Lord and his personal Savior in his final moments.

Answer 6

capital punishment isnt just a human solution to crime ,it is a devine commandment. if a society uses the christian bible as a guideline for laws, it has to consider the command to'send them(murderers) to me for judgement,and these things will cease to exist among you'. this law was not done away with in the new testament. you have had alot of good advice and opinions here from other people answering. some things may never seem to make sense logically,but must be trusted to be the correct solution for the overall good of society. im betting that the families of his victims are not worried about these things.

Answer 7

One of the greatest questions I have come across here.

Indeed we have become smaller bu meting out death punishment to Saddam...... at least we should have been generous enough to shoot him as he had wanted rather than hang him.

Giving death is indeed no punishment ...... it is sin. No one has any right whatsoever to bring death to anyone, directly or indirectly. Why not impeach Bush for causing so many deaths with a wrong excuse of weapons of mass destruction accumulated by Iraq.... where have the imagined wmd's gone?

Saddam sinned..... we have sinned more..... our real sin is we could not stop the injustice that Iraqi people and US soldiers were made to suffer.

Answer 8

he should have been shot in the hole they found him in .this whole thing is a pay back for suddam putting a hit on the presidents dad back in the day .this whole thing is crazy they have been kill another for ever it is there way they needed a dictator to rule them it is how they believe that causes so much strife and we with are bullet and guns well not change there thinking and we should not be there trying .killing saddam was going to happen it should have happened in that hole they found him in and left bared so he would not be a mart-er he would have just disappeared and looked like a hiding child

Answer 9

the condition you described has been mankind's way since the beginning of time, we are suppose to be the only beings on this world that has the capabilities of real thought, the inhumane treatment of other human being that we inflict on each other is a disgrace to our existence as rational beings. remember one thing its the victors who writes history.
is there a chance that we will change, not in our lifetime. my advice to you is to live your life the best you can and enjoy each and every day.

the second part of your question again goes back in our history, you don't imprison your enemies, they just might come back to kill you.

Answer 10

I just have to be human about this,I put myself in all of the victims and the victims families place that were affected by that despot and I feel that justice was served.Think about it ,if your family was killed wouldn't you want the same justice carried out?
