Do you think ": Execution" was the best solution, in dealing with Saddam Hussein? And WHY?

Question

We hear so much things about Saddam and other people. It's time to express your thought and feelings regardless to what you hear, assume and believe from news.
Good Luck in answering, Please Give your honest opinion and beliefs!!!

Answer 1

According to articles and responses from the rest of the world, His execution was not the answer to anything, rather as a result of an inept leader that decided that invading iraq and managing the second largest source of of oil would be an easy task, well managing the oil resources is close to a win but the collateral damage is the civilians,their leader, and the infrastructure all for the benefit of all those who might like to be driving their SUV's and an oil thirsty Industry that regards life as expendable under the eyes of Bush, Saddams hanging is not other then the decision of the US administration which has lost control of Iraq But their oil.

Answer 2

I don't think execution can ever be a solution for anything. It can create many new problems. As in the case of Saddam Hussein, if life imprisonment is given to him then nobody would be retaliating. But because he was executed, it ignited the anger in Muslims and even non-Muslims. So we can see a start of a new war.

Apart from that, nobody has a right to take any body's life. Saddam Hussein took lives of many people but if you took Saddam Hussein's life then there would be no difference in you and Saddam Hussein.

Answer 3

No, he should have been sent into exile so insurgents couldn't make a martyr out of him. It also sends the wrong message to other leaders who aren't participating in democratic states. It's an example that the same could happen to them if they don't express western ideals. So now we're the terrorist threat to any non-democratic government. Why fight terror with terror? And why push democracy like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Last time I checked, there were a lot of disenfranchised people in the US. It's not like everybody's voice is represented here.

Anyways, my point is America never should have butted into Iraq's business in the first place, and lynching Saddam Hussein just lit a fire we'll never be able to put out. Looks like American blood will continue to flow on Iraqi soil without anyone knowing what purpose either government is trying to prove.

Answer 4

A show about him was just on the history channel, within five hours of becoming president of Iraq he tortured and killed 60 people.

The Baath party started in 1936 and was part of the Nazi party in Germany, some of them were the last fighters fighting in Berlin during it's last hours.

Saddam's uncle was promoted to a position equal to General in the Nazi SS and controlled a regiment of 30,000 men against the allies.

There were trains carrying Jews out of Norway, Denmark and Sweden to safety in Palestine but Saddam's uncle found out about it and had the trains bring them to the concentration camps instead, there was 4000 children on this trains.

Saddam is a lot like Hitler because his uncle and step father were both involved with the Nazi's and they taught him their ways, he grew up thinking of them as hero's.

So basically World War Two has been going on for 60 years and has just ended with the death of a Nazi that has been in power all this time killing people the way the Nazi's taught him to kill.

Answer 5

Well, it was pretty much obvious from the beginning he had no chance. I think it was most important that the trial was fair to expose all of his wrongdoings. Unfortunately, he didn't even witness some of the trials (he was only hanged for a few offenses, not all). One of worst things he did during his regime was killing the Kurds. I'm not sure if they would have tried it for genocide or not, but I think they should have at leasted waited for the conclusion of that trial to hang him, considering the huge deathtoll. The trial should give closure.

Most of all, though, the trial had to be fair, so it wouldn't have the appearance of revenge or American imperialism. After seeing that cell phone clip of his execution, I just don't think it was carried out in the right manner. It was completely unprofessional (the taunts and what not). I think what should have been a solemn moment of justice was botched.

Answer 6

Granted, he may have been a brutal dictator, but I don`t think hanging was the way to do justice. He could have been imprisoned for the rest of his life, who knows how that may have ended (illness, pain, suffering) or just spent a miserable life, locked away. Would that not have been justice enough? He actually did nothing to the USA, we were the ones who invaded his country, reasons unknown. The Middle East countries have been fighting each other for many years, hanging Hussein is not going to end that nor bring back the dead he had killed.

Answer 7

personally i think saddam was a great person. He went with the basic rule. Treat someone like how you wanted to be treated.when people killed others he wuld kill them. when people were rude, he was rude. if you were nice to him he was nice to you. when he was in power of iraq it was fine. now look at iraq with the bombs. no one can control the people now the only one that controled them was saddam. not even bush can control them. i think it was a mistake to execute him.

Answer 8

Does it matter? It's a done deal, his body is already beginning to rot in the grave and is stinking. It was the Iraqi's choice, they were his victims so be it.

Answer 9

If no one ever deserves to die, then what value is life to those who deserve to live??
