Do you think the exucution of Saddam Hussein justified?

Question

Well we all have the right to live. Even though he had killed many people.

Answer 1

He killed hundreds of thousands of people. My basic view on the death penalty is this, people have rights, which they give up all of the time. Committing one crime you lose the right to freedom, and get locked away. Committing another crime, you lose the right to bear arms and can no longer legally own a gun. The murder of thousands is relinquishing your right to life and therefore the death penalty follows. I also feel that life in a tiny cell with poor food and no company is a fate worse than death.

Answer 2

i think of the Iraqis had no determination yet to execute Saddam. as long as he remained alive there could constantly be a terror between people who're at present in value that Saddam could come decrease back to pwer and take revenge. The human beings in spite of the shown fact that set up a prepare trial that become never going to offer Saddam a uncomplicated trial. hence the unbelievable could constantly ber seen as victors justice and that i think of the human beings made a mistake this form. Saddam become an evil tyrant for the time of his existence and that i won't be able to work out a lot of human beings laying off any tears for the guy

Answer 3

Yes, absolutely! He was a cruel and evil tyrant that ruled his people by fear of death. And he wasn't afraid to kill or have people murdered. A right to live? True as long as we don't harm others. There are lines that rational people do not cross. The decision to be a criminal (of any type) crosses that line, for instance. Some criminal acts are so heinous that the criminal must be kept away from society (and/or be put to death as the ultimate punishment) so that they never get a chance to do their dirty deeds to other innocent victim (s). Death IS the ultimate deterrent. It's not against the laws of nature to be rid of evil. If he was not hung, then the radicals who profited from him might return him to power by force. Or 'his' people would tear him apart limb by limb like happened to Mussolini and Chauchesku (in Czechoslovakia) if they could get their hands on him.

Answer 4

What gave him the right to live? What makes people believe that anyone has a right to life no matter their actions? It is not Biblical, it is not something tha has been handed down morally over the years. If you break in my house with the intent to harm my family, I believe you just gave up any and all rights to live. Why protect the rights of a murderer? He passed on his right to live when he used WMD's on the Kurds, tortured people that didn't agree with him, or he thought opposed him. He even tortured children to get information out of their parents, knowing that they would talk then, even if they wouldn't when tortured themselves. Anyone that can do that to others, especially children, has no right to life in my book.

Answer 5

They should have given him to the families and friends of the people he killed. Or kill him the same way tht he did others. We discussed this in science today

Answer 6

You have to stick to the Iraqi law... seems like
Les Droits De L'Homme had desapeared

Answer 7

Yes I think it was justified. Why do you cry for the "Butcher of Bagdad" ? You could pick better people to defend.

Answer 8

No i dont, in the Bible it says that revenge belongs to the Lord.
Plus who knows the truth of what really happened? Only in Judgement Day

Answer 9

I understand he will receive a Prince's title from Syria and Iran.

Answer 10

Yes.

We all have the right to live, and now he will not kill anyone else.
