Who else feels like me that Sadams Husseins hanging was another human tradegy?

Question

Oh kay, I I know i will get thumbs down now. However, I do not believe in things like the deadth penalty. I also think that we had no business marching into Iraq in the first place. Now that we are stuck in there, and we are suffering more losses from our troops, do you all too think that Sadam's hanging was an unnecessary by product of our American democracy>?

Answer 1

President Saddam should have never been overthrown and murdered by the USA, if the people of Iraq wanted him out of power they should he rose up and took him down. This murder has now guarantee the death of hundred of Americans.

Answer 2

I think it was a very sad commentary on the state of the world in general and our attitudes as Americans in particular. I don't feel any safer now that he is dead, and I don't think that his death made the world a better place. The world has been getting sadder by the minute, and if things keep going the way they are in many other places besides Iraq, everyone will have a reason to cry soon enough! P.S., I'm convinced the Osama Bin Laden, like a whole lot of other "Americas Most Wanted" is in Las Vegas. I bet he's in a penthouse at a very swanky hotel, being entertained by all 72 of his virgins.

Answer 3

Well, I personally believe that he got what he deserved. I've researched his genocide of the Kurds and the things that he ordered and supported were... inhuman. Absolutely disgusting.

However, the manner in which he was killed bothers me significantly. Yes, he deserved any taunts he received. But to taunt the man about to die is disgraceful and lowers the entire peaceful image the Iraqis (and we) are desperately hoping for. Whatever good effects Hussein's death could have had were ruined by the manner of his death, and can now go down in history only as a huge mistake for the Iraqis (increasingly sectarian violence tenfold) and a giant propaganda stunt for the U.S.

We need to get out of there. Period. We're not in control, and we will never be in control while things are as they are currently. We never should have gone in, but now it does seem like we're stuck - if we leave, then all we've accomplished is destroying Iraq and igniting a full-out civil war; if we stay, things can only go downhill.

Anyway, that's just my point of view on things!

Answer 4

Any human death is a tragedy, especially Innocent ones, I believe vary strongly that no human being has the right to invade the space of another human being, unfortunately our society allows this to happen because of our laws, our justice system is set up to protect the criminal not the victim, and that is why I believe we need the death penalty, Saddam Hussein was a leader of a country and he broke a universal law, and that was the murder of Innocent people, did he deserve to die for it yes he did, this world has many Saddam Hussein's in it that need to be taken out for their atrocities against Innocent people.

Answer 5

I understand your hesitation, but as a supporter of the death penalty, I feel that I see a hole in your logic.

While the war could've been handled much better, lessening the results we are now facing. However, Hussein still killed thousands of people. His trial was in Iraq, America's power stopped at it's influence.

Technically, it was a product of Iraq's democracy. But the (un)necessary part is open to debate.

Answer 6

Nope. Sadam was a sick human being and had no place in ANY society.
I firmly believe in the death penalty. In fact, I think it is being underused.
Answer me this. Do you think it fair that seriously violent criminals get to sit in prison with FREE room and board, FREE medical care, FREE food, NEVER have to pay a power or water or mortgage bill, FREE dental care, to some extent a FREE education fro the REST OF THEIR LIFE...while over a million homeless people go without and over five million have no medical care when they did NOTHING wrong? Do you think that is fair? VIOLENT criminals are taken care of like babies while NON violent, NON criminals are dumped out of society?

Answer 7

NO!

Do I think that life makes no sense: YES!

Saddam needed to be hanged in order to strengthen moral among the Kurdish population of Iraq. Why does all this mayhem have to happen in the first place? Why did Saddam have to murder millions of people? I don't know. It sucks, time for another drink.

Answer 8

His death was unecessary because he'd been removed from power but his country men chose to kill him NOT the US. As for the death penalty it should be instituted because of the horrific crimes that are committed by people on other human beings. Child molesters, rapists and killers should get an automatic death sentence that should be carried out as quickly as Hussiens execution. Mass murders should also get the death penalty because they will never stop.

Answer 9

Anyone's death is a tragedy. A deliberate death even more so.

The problem with hanging Hussein is that instead of stopping terrorism in any way it will serve to greatly increase the number of people who hate and wish to harm Americans - even though most Americans now seriously oppose the administration that led us into this whole mess.

It seems our only answer to anything lately is death to whomever.

Answer 10

all of us recognize that the Paistinian human beings voted in Hamas all of us recognize Hamas brainwashes little ones and has used them as suicide bombers adverse to Isrealis. And all of us recognize Palistinians danced with excitement and celebrated interior the streets on 9-11, women and little ones lined. Excerpts from a speech by technique of Hamas MP Fathi Hammad, broadcast on Al-Aqsa television on February 29, 2008: Fathi Hammad: [The enemies of Allah] do not recognize that the Palestinian human beings has more advantageous its [procedures] of lack of life and absence of life-looking for. For the Palestinian human beings, lack of life has develop into an marketplace, at which women excel, and so do all the individuals living in this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the youngsters. it really is the reason they have formed human shields of the girls, the youngsters, the elderly, and the mujahideen, with the intention to challenge the Zionist bombing device. it truly is as if they were declaring to the Zionist enemy: "We want lack of life like you want existence." (it really is the most MORALLY BANKRUPT reality I actual have EVER HEARD!!) From the Hamas structure: "Israel will exist and could survive until eventually Islam will obliterate it, in simple terms because it obliterated others earlier it." (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory). "there is no answer for the Palestinian question except via Jihad. initiatives, proposals and global conferences are all a waste of time and ineffective endeavors."
