Do you agree with saddam hussein being executed?

Answer 1

Yes I do, he should have been executed years ago.

Answer 2

Though Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator who killed thousands, has anyone ever thought about who put him in power or who gave him his weapons of mass destruction. It was none other that the US itself. The US is using Saddam Hussein as a reason to go in Iraq and take all of their oil. It's that simple. On the show Democracy Now they had an interview showing that Saddam Hussein was willing to recognize Israel if they were to come up with a solution that Palestinians were to agree to. Was that interview shown in the US of course not, because if it was that would mean that we wouldn't be able to go to Iraq and take their oil. The reason that Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait was because they were doing something that affected their currency and they were losing money. When they asked them to stop they didn't. If Saddam didn't invade Kuwait then they would end being bellow the poverty line. Should Saddam be executed, yes he should since he agreed to cooperate with the united states to kill so many in Iran, but the truth is that people in charge of the US such as George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condolessa Rice should have been executed long before that.

Answer 3

He was responsible for the killing of perhaps hundreds of thousands. In this respect, he earned his fate. I don't think that the trial was fair and was somewhat of a kangaroo court, and that is a shame. Even in a fair trial he would have been found guilty, if not for the charges brought forth in the first trial then certainly for the genocide with gas of the Kurds in northern Iraq in the second trial.

His execution will bring no closure to the war in Iraq, nor will it bring about a change. So long as there is a lack of a strong government nor an Iraqi military loyal to the people of Iraq there will be violence and bloodshed.

Answer 4

No. Everyone hates him and nobody knows why, except that he's kinda like Hitler or kinda like Bin Laden or he killed and tortured or bla bla bla... What you need to remember is that he was the leader of one very nasty, violent and sectarian nation filled with people who are hell-bent on killing one another. We are living in a dreamland if we believe that Iraq's problems stem from him. In 1959, America backed him in trying to assassinate the guy who was in charge back then (Abdul Karim Qassim). Then we backed him in trying to combat Iran. These people stage uprisings all the time, and they kill each other all the time! The Kurds were attacked because they were trying to violently overthrow the government, not because they were peacefully herding sheep! And if you want to call every world leader who gave orders to kill people a murderer, then our Presidents are no better, and most likely even worse, than Saddam. It's easy to believe that America is the good guy if you lock yourself in a pickup truck and blare country music, but if you dig deep and read the history and the politics behind the news stories, you see things in a different light. Even the Republicans have all but admitted that he had nothing to do with Al Qaida or 9/11, they've all but admitted he had no WMD's... so NOW they're griping about what he did to his own people, when all this time we could have cared less. And what are we doing to save the people that are being slaughtered across Africa every day as a result of political and sectarian clashes? But you put a dark skinned man with a moustache on tv and call him a bad man, and Americans will buy into it no questions asked. We only took offense to Iraq when they started pushing for limited oil production to help them pay off their war debts, and Kuwait instigated them by claiming their voluntary war assistance as another debt they needed to pay off, and slant-drilling into Iraqi reserves. If we were in Iraq's shoes, we would have invaded too.

Hussein was no more barbarous than the nation he commanded, and no more barbarous than the Western leaders who support deadly military actions across the world every day. We're just wealthy enough to make it look neat and orderly and put some fake humanitarian spin on it. If what Hussein did was murder, then our invasion was murder, and his execution was an assassination. And I believe we will be doing this all over again when the new Iraqi leader ticks us off 20 years from now, when no one remembers who Hussein was, just like no one knows who Abdul Karim Qassim is today.

Everyone who posts their hateful "hell yeah!" remarks and despises him so have only the vaguest idea of what he did or why they hate him... if they did know why, they would have qualified their answer with something more than "he's a bastard." Notice that the yes answers are so short and crude and misspelled and emotional, and all the no answers are backed by facts and well thought-out and defended. It's good ol patriotic ignorance at its best! People just like to have a name to put after the f-word when they carve messages inside of toilet stalls. It's the same ignorance that made people say "the only good Indian's a dead one" back in the 1800's. The same ignorance that allowed neoconservatives, of all people, to dominate politics for the last 6 years.

America is a very wealthy society, and we have a very civil domestic society... but I think we still continue to get blood on our hands internationally in our efforts to maintain economic supremacy, and I think we should just be honest about our intentions and not pretend to be some benevolant global guardian when we're not. I don't hate America... I think we have one of the best societies in the world... I just hate a lot of the jerks that live here, and a lot of the decisions made by our leadership.

Answer 5

Sure, why not?
I am not an Iraqi citizen so I have no vested interest in the matter of his trial or execution in Iraq.
I have enough of my own affairs to take care of without worrying about whether it was right or wrong about the invasion of Iraq or the execution of some despot dictator who means absolutely nothing to me.
At least they were a lot more merciful to him than he was to others.
Maybe they should have run him through a wood chipper feet first like he was famous for doing to his political dissidents.

Answer 6

Yes, I agree with it. However, I wish the Iraqi's had refrained from acting like children during the actual hanging. Taking the life of a man who is completely at your mercy and not able to fight back is a horrific thing. It deserved solemnity.

Answer 7

inspite of the indisputable fact that Saddam Hussein change into an evil dictator who killed thousands, has each person ever idea about who placed him in skill or who gave him his guns of mass destruction. It change into none different that the U. S. itself. the U. S. is utilizing Saddam Hussein as a reason to bypass in Iraq and take all of their oil. this is that common. on the practice Democracy Now they'd an interview showing that Saddam Hussein change into prepared to note of Israel in the journey that they were to go back up with a answer that Palestinians were to conform to. change into that interview shown contained in the U. S. for sure not, because if it change into that could want to signify that we does not be able to bypass to Iraq and take their oil. the reason that Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait change into because they were doing something that affected their overseas money and they were dropping money. even as they requested them to end they did not. If Saddam did not invade Kuwait then they could end being bellow the poverty line. might want to Saddam be performed, sure he might want to considering he agreed to cooperate with america to kill diverse in Iran, inspite of the indisputable fact that really that folk in fee of the U. S. alongside with George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condolessa Rice might want to were performed lengthy earlier that.

Answer 8

Doesn't matter if we agree or not. He was found guilty and sentenced be a legal court in his home country. And he was executed under the law he helped create. How much more justice do you want??

Answer 9

No Way!

i know he did a lot of terrible barbaric things, but executing hium isnt the way forward. Its giving him an easy way out, and in addition, i'm fairly sure taxpayers (who would have paid for his life imprisonment) would have not minded funding his displeasure?

In addition most Americans are very quick to use the bible, yet are pro death penalty. Doesnt it say in the book of Mark that an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth is not the way forward?? cant understand how a country who preach christianity yet do not act christian. its just as bad as the muslims.

Answer 10

Yes 100%.
