Does anyone think it right to have footage on the net Saddam's execution?

Question

I would like to hear your views whether they be negetive or positive!

Answer 1

No, I do not think it's right to have execution footage on the internet - Saddam's or otherwise. I understand why the record is needed and why it may be necessary for certain people to see it - as proof that he indeed was executed. But to have it online for the purpose of gratuitous display is tacky in the extreme.

Answer 2

I had no problems with the pictures, he have been given a uncomplicated trial below Iraq's judicial gadget. His sentence become reviewed and then persevered. I do think of it is going to no longer have been completed on the morning of a Muslim pageant, which will turn him right into a martyr for his specific sect and Hussein is no person's thought of any form of a sturdy guy or a martry. He murdered human beings right away in and out wars and had no grief approximately it. That being suggested , that's why there are no longer from now on public executions in North united statesa. via fact it enrages human beings on all aspects of the difficulty. It should not be a public spectacle, the human beings and guards around Hussein don't have been spewing comments at him, no rely what they seen him.They have been there to do a job and not make public remark no rely how they felt. in fact that now supposedly some ten year previous youngster in Texas upon viewing it on the information tried unbelievable himself and did. they're blaming the televised video of Saddam's unbelievable yet greater beneficial than possibly the youngster become attempting the choking game and the mothers and fathers do no longer want to think of roughly that so how plenty easier that's in charge television and the Saddam unbelievable. it quite is totally unhappy the little boy died, yet while i become ten I quite did no longer attempt to reproduction each thing I observed on television and not in any respect a unbelievable. this can be the possibility human beings will take in charge media for exhibiting it and commencing greater revenge insurgency in Iraq. i in my view desire they do no longer prepare us the different adult males being hanged, do in basic terms it and let us know you probably did it yet do no longer difficulty with the pictures. If human beings do no longer have faith they're lifeless that's their own difficulty.

Ding dong, Saddam is dead! So, how come it doesn’t feel like a victory for justice and democracy? Had he been toppled by some sort of popular uprising by his own people or cut down by an assassin, it would have seemed a fitting end for a cruel tyrant, something he clearly brought upon his own head.
What makes the execution seem so unsatisfactory, so empty, is the sense that the whole process – from shock and awe, to non-existent WMDs, to spider hole, to hangman’s noose – has felt like a poorly written Rambo movie. It appears Saddam was simply a readily available surrogate for the slippery Osama bin Laden. Rage over 9-11 was slaked by bombing the he!l out of Baghdad. This would make it all better, we were told. A new beacon of democracy would rise out of the ashes.
It hasn’t happened. Instead, Iraq has inherited a whirlwind of civil war and instability.
The trial itself, touted as evidence of a newly functional system of justice in the beacon of democracy, was also an empty exercise designed to legitimize a sentence that was never in doubt from the beginning. Of course Saddam was guilty. Of course he would be executed. He tried to make good theatre out of it, but as the trial dragged on, Saddam appeared more of a buffoon than a demon, thus validating the observation that it is in the breakdown of power that its true nature is revealed.
With his death, go many secrets to the grave, allowing many in Washington and London to sleep a lot better . Had he been tried by the International Court for war criminals, he would not be executed and remain a potential danger to many.
So, will you weep for Saddam? I won’t, But I certainly would not want to witness it. With his execution the bell tolls one more time.

"And when the bell tolls, send not to ask," For whom the bell tolls?" it tolls for thee.

I dont really know how I feel about it, but I just saw on the news this morning that a kid in Houston hung himself after watching the execution with his uncle! The boy was between 5 and 7 yrs old! Too bad that children are exposed to graphic footage like that. I guess its okay that adults have the option to see an execution if they choose to, but children should never see such things.

Answer 5

It be no different than those 50 pple who were there at the hanging than the footage online. Just someone was good enough to show the world what some Americans are really like and its not the way people see Americans as the "loving family". It is not a loving family and the govt is pathetic too but they were just scared they were shown to the world how they really are as the truth than what they want us to see on news

Answer 6

Right? If the video is available legally then it is ok to view it.

Did the person who made the video have the right to do it. I dont think so, but once an item is put on the web, its gone. Many can find it. Some laws maybe broken, like downloading kiddy porn, and stuff like that but I dont think it is illegal to look at videos on the web.

I think it is ok.

Answer 7

Yes! I think all executions should be accessible to anyone over 18 who wants to see them.

If people were more familiar with the death penalty, maybe there would be less crime.

Saddam's execution was a historical event. I am glad that I was able to witness it.

Answer 8

being that you cannot show a dead american solders body on t.v. of course it would be wrong to show anyone getting killed i am not saying what he did was right it was horrible i am just bringing up a pointe: saddam was hung for killing a bunch of innocent people after his car as attacked in an attempted assasination but look at what america is doing someone attacked this country and now we are killing innocent people everyday looking for the ones responsible and invaded another country (iraq) and killed there soldiers and innocent civilians without any proof of their ties to the terrorist at least saddam had proof the terrorist had ties to country he attacked

Answer 9

Depends on your view of Capital Punishment. I am strongly against and the fiasco surrounding the event reinforces my view. I cannot understand why anyone would want to have and watch the video but then we live in a strange, mad world.

Answer 10

i thought it was really bad and what scared me the most was the availability of the footage was the highlight of some peoples day. It felt like we were back in the dark ages.
