I don't think anything was solved by hanging Saddam. I think he should have been locked up and caged like an animal and be made to live the rest of his life out in solitude and confinement like the animal he was.
He should have been lieft to rot in jail or prison, reagrdless of whether he is alive or not, hanging him is not going to bring back any of the people he killed. For every person that is hanged or executed, 2 or 3 more will rise sooner or later and be worse than the one before.

Yes, I feel that you are wrong. Why should people have to keep him fed, clothed, housed, pay for his doctor, dentist and everything else that happens to sustain a person in this world. What do you think he would do to you if he had the opportunity? I could go on and on, but why waste my time even thinking concerning him!!!

I have a problem with the hanging, too. Saddam was hanged because of politics and not because he crossed some line. Every president in our history has been responsible for somebody's death. If the particular president ever got on the wrong side of the power structure, he might get hung, too. In fact, some people on this very site have been crying out for Bush to be tried for crimes against humanity. Now, Bush may have screwed up this war and maybe he should never have gone in, but crimes against humanity??? The political executioners of today may be the political condemned when the political winds change. As such, setting a presedent like hanging Saddam just makes it much more easy to hang someone who probably doesn't deserve it as much.
This moderate view being said, it probably makes no difference at all.

In a way you could be wrong about this let me explain...
A person left in jail for the rest of there life shouldnt be left to Rot... Infact they should be there to learn the difference between the truths and lies. The goal of jail should be to educate people in them to not make the same mistakes again and have a different view on life a better view. I honestly think the US was terribly wrong to put saddams life in danger by allowing him to die in the way he did. It did us a great dis service but we can over come it. Just might take an impeachment or a couple years before we even begin to rebuild our reputation cause bush obv doesnt care. he has helped to destroy the republican party along with all his friends.

Oh, I'm so with you on this one. He should have been locked up, left for hell to haunt him. He should have suffered a HELL OF A LOT MORE than just ridding himself from the world by being hung. Did you see the look on his face right before he was hung? He TOTALY didn't care. He was so proud of what he did and he didn't give a damn that he was gonna die. So yah, I agree that he should have been left in a cage and lived the rest of his life paying for what he did. that sicko needed TIME OUT...should of "sat in the corner" He was a VERY BAD BOY...cause he was NEVER a "man". But, it's all done and over with and there is nothing we can do about it.
I'm moving on and just thankful I don't have to hear another horror story about that SICK FK!

No, I don't think it's wrong. I think by killing him, the Shiite government has turned him into a Sunni martyr and a figure who insurgents can claim to rally around.
I think in reality no one can really argue that anyone really wanted Saddam back in power. Few people in Iraq actually liked him, and he didn't have enough post-invasion followers to "return him to power by force".
Plus sometimes a lifetime in jail slowly rotting away is much worse than a quick death.

You're not wrong. He was a murderer, he killed thousands. But there is something fundamentally wrong with the death penalty. I see it as the easy way out, and yes, I would have liked to see him sit in a cell to reflect on a lifetime of wrongdoing. Who knows, he may have never come around, but at least we wouldn't have the blood of another human on our hands. Enough killing. No more of this eye for an eye bullshit.

With as many people as he hung for no reason and all the war crimes he commited I beleive he got exactally what he deserved. What is the point paying to have criminals who murder then let them live were they get three meals a day. Get college paid for and a roof over there head. I think that is being to nice. I am glad they denied him an appleal and sentanced him to death.

No. they don't experience the experience like we people do. that is because of the fact we've a crucial worried device working by using our vertebra (backbone) which sends messages to our concepts. this means that if if our leg is harm, we experience the soreness on the right concepts. on the different hand, the bugs are non-vertebra and that they don't have crucial worried device. for that reason if an ant's leg is overwhelmed, purely the leg will experience community soreness. in addition to, their soreness fee is short, because of the fact that they produce super variety of off springs and their existence is short. they might additionally reproduce their lost organs. that is been referred to that in case you decrease a cockroach's head, that is going to die after a month simply by ravenous.

I agree a suitable punishment for him to have oever the rest of his life rather than an easy out by hanging.Hanging him is almost
like condoning his actions by replication .
peace out
