do you think it was right for saddams hang men to treat him as they did ?

Answer 1

Frankly,He was a sadistic killer who used torture and rape as a means to control the population while he was president,so They could have fed him to lions,skinned him alive,boiled him in oil,or thrown him in a wood chipper and not offended me in the least. I have been to Baghdad,and seen first hand what carnage this monster left behind,so if you are looking for sympathy for that piece of trash,you will NOT find it here.

Answer 2

Not really. He may have been a barbarian, but IMO there still should have been some dignity present.

edit: quote: The guy didn't break the law, he may have been a sociopath, but he didn't kill no one, from what was charged, I am aware of.

um, perhaps before you make such a statement you should actually find out a bit about the topic. The trial Saddam just went through found him guilty of killing 148 young men and boys, and that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. that doesn't count the estimated 180,000 Kurds he had gassed for no particular reason.

and before you cry that he was framed, if I'm not mistaken, and I don't think I am, Saddam admitted that he had killed those 148 young men and boys. that is quite a few people. I believe his motive was revenge.

oh, and it was not "murder." it would have been if YOU had done it, but Saddam was EXECUTED. get it straight.

Answer 3

they were murdering the guy anyway, what does it matter?

obviously the twisted identity of humanitarian slaying, or righteous or justified murder is only in the minds of sickos and those brainwashed to beleive killing passive individuals is justified.

The guy didn't break the law, he may have been a sociopath, but he didn't kill no one, from what was charged, I am aware of.

He was a scape goat for many others, there was no evidence he was personally involved in anyones rape torture or murder. The iraqi national security apparatus is another matter, but when fog of war, and engineering of false evidence in an occupied country is posible I would beleive nothing you are told, that you have not seen first hand.

Audio and Video can be engineered, it is a reproduciton, and reproducable, editable, and forgable.

Generally judges order the deaths of individuals in countries that have the death penalty, including the United States. So is that to say every judge who orders the death of someone on trial, in whatever form the country exercises trials is exercising a crime against humanity, and that every head of state that allows it to occur allowing a crime against humanity to occur. What about all the civillian deaths, the botched bombing raids, the accidental deaths, the killing of those who didn't obey, or stand down using passive resistance or non recognition. They are victims, not necisarily of thier own head of state, but of those governments that invaded the country, to bring war, death and forced change through acts of militant violence, otherwise criminal acts, without the spin of necesities of "preemptive assualt".

Is the death penalty wrong? If so, is war? Then what of all these countries that exercise the death penalty and go to war, what of all the heads of state that allow it? Saddam has done nothing more than many other global heads of state have done, the queen of england, the president of the united states, and countless others in allowing war and the death penalty to occur in a manner in which it was on their orders, however did they personally do the killings? What in countries that removed individuals rights on a doctors mental grounds even at protest of the patient, it is all gross violation, ethically they may be wrong, but even more issued are those who carry out the acts, the soilders, nurses, judges, and executioners. Saddam is a highly slandered figure in history. If anyone knows of any rape, torture or murder that saddam personally took part in then by all means supply the information, because all this laying of blame on saddam is complete tripe. He is an easy target as head of state, but where is the real evidence that he made these orders, there are none... the closest it has come to this is the security apparatus, and this during an occupational war.

Answer 4

No. And you can expect the rest of the Iraqi government to behave the same way. Like undisciplined vigilantes. No matter how reviled the criminal in the US, or West you would never see a near mob scene like that at a trial or execution. This bodes ill for their future government.

.

Answer 5

The problem was not with the executioners, who acted in a professional manner; it was with some of the witnesses, who taunted and jeered. The man in charge correctly rebuked them.

Answer 6

I really don't care. He recieved a lot better treatment than he ever gave anyone so who cares. He's dead and gone, let's move on shall we?

Answer 7

sure do! they should of tormented him more, I wold of at least set him on fire, or had a public stoning or maybe dismembered him. eye for an eye and such.

Answer 8

Why? should they exchanged places! He's gone.(GOOD)
