It's not about solving anything but justice. It's about paying a debt, about punishment, and retribution. Hanging was a matter between God, Saddam, his victims and the Iraqi government. What would having him sit in a prison for the next 20+ years being feed and cared for have solved? What would have patting the back of his hand and setting him free have solved? The man was tried, convicted, and was served his punishment. Why is it assumed that when someone meets the death penality it's supposed to solve all these problems in society? His punishment had nothing to do with us.

I think life is to short for war and politics!! They should've arranged a cricket match between Saddam's 11 and the Hanging's 11. If Saddam won he got another week, and if the Hanging won, well they hung him!
And to make it more interesting, for every 6 Saddam hit's he gets another meal.
Bring on the 2007 Terrorist's World Cup!!

Yeah I believe that it just fed a blood thirsty society. Of course Saddam is a very terrible man but when I saw the clips of his hanging, the people treated him just the way he treated them. If they see him as a bad person, why sink to his level? I was surprised that he also got an easy death sentence. I'd have thought that people wanted to torture him or something.

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.

They hanged an old man. It made no difference. Saddam only lost one of his sons. Not his entire family and therefore his entire genetic future. If they had hanged his family infront of him and then locked him up in a rubber room. That's justice and punishment for his crimes. He got the easy way out. Just like Bin Laden and various serial killers.

you take another mans life.... no matter the reason behind it... it is murder.
Hanging Saddam didn't solve anything. Capturing him did!
They didn't do anything but turn themselves into the person they killed. They are now the Murderers.

I think it was a visual end to decades of his rule. I think that seems overzealous to most Americans, but not in his culture. An eye for an eye, etc.

It made it impossible for things to go back the way they were. It's one more important step towards taking away the oposition's hope.
