Answer 3

The people in that part of the world are harsh and barbaric.

They captured and beheaded a U.S. citizen on video and played it on television.

They routinely abuse women and consider it their right to molest their children because the Quran says so.

Hanging Saddam in a stairwell is tame in comparison to so many other things that go on over there.

Answer 4

even nonetheless, Saddam Hussain replaced right into a tyrant chief and had killed too many harmless civilians in this place which he himself replaced into hanged, he don't have been accomplished in the variety of way. If I have been able to settle on upon him, i might have imprisoned him in his life time somewhat than executing him. this might help in reconciliation and the peace technique between the numerous religious factions of Iraq. undergo in ideas that peace and reconciliation is extra significant than taking revenge or the rest for Iraq on the 2nd.

Answer 5

Even if one is generally opposed to capital punishment, Saddam Hussein has to be a special case. He was responsible for hundreds of thousands of murders and tortures of Iraqi citizens. And this doesn't even count the combat deaths in his wars of aggression.
And his hanging certainly doesn't compare with the treatment of fascist Mussolini and his mistress, whose bodies were hung from meat hooks in a public square in 1945; or the Ceauşescus' hasty trial and execution on Christmas of 1989 in Romania. And I am hard pressed to blame their victims for treating them this way.
I would also say that Saddam would have been a public danger as long as he remained alive. Another change of government could have brought him back to power.
Hanging is a traditional method of execution because, done right, it causes instant death and thus is relatively humane. The drugs used in some modern, supposedly gentler, forms of execution are now in question as to whether they cause invisible suffering. This can't be said of hanging, even though it is uglier to look at.

Answer 6

I think it is really barbaric to hang him , knowing that he already lost people he love , stripped power , condemned and judged even his closest allies .Maybe , he is very dedicated to his job, and it is his great love and dedication that droves , him and resort to violence or whatever , power he enforce , and consider good to his people. Unless we live in a certain place ,know the way of life , fit in their society , we would not certainly analyze whats good for our people. What America did was a great intervention and violation of these people human rights. Of course , world policing is their duty , but they should not surpass and abuse power .
Whatever it is that happened , cannot be changed anyway , we just hope and pray, these serves a lesson to every people involve in this episode.

I couldn't sleep for 2 days! Not that I had a love for the man, but it was just something that should not have been televised!
Sometimes high-tech and the media go too far.

@SusieQ, because they are uncouth animals doesn't mean we should be like them. They do horrible things to their people, but in the long run they will eventually answer for them by God's hand.

Answer 8

The death penalty is always harsh and barbaric.

Saddam should have stood trial for war crimes in an impartial court outside of Iraq.

Bush's decision to hold the trial in Iraq was meant to cover up the crimes of Bush Sr. and Reagan.

Saddam was just their patsy that carried out their orders to destabilize the region to increase the price of oil.

Bush's war is doing the same thing now.

Answer 9

I think it would have been better to turn him over to the Kurds and let them have the same nerve gas he had used on them and leave it to them to decide how he died. He got off easy compared to those innocent people including women and children.
