Saddam

[Dark Method]

I'm surprised no one has said anything. What's your thoughts now?

Do you think they should have hung him? Executed him in maybe
a more "humane" fashion?
Let him rot in a hole like the one they found the bastard in?

I think you need to have a fairly extensive knowledge about the situation in all honesty,
in order to understand all the aspects of it, but let it be known
that Saddam was only tried, never mind convicted, of the death of
150 odd people in 1982 in Dujail, when a plot to assassinate him failed.

The Iraqi government failed/refused to proceed with the second
trial where Saddam was to stand charges of genocide, killing
thousands of Kurds.

Instead they rushed the whole thing, slapped a rope around his
neck and kicked the box under his feet so to speak.

Now, me, I would have liked rather to see him rot in a hole as
opposed to executing him. The death penalty is nothing but
the easy way out. The guy's dead. He has no suffering to endure.

Onto the hanging. Do you really think it's right to hang someone
in the 21st century? They did that in the 1500's for Christ's sakes.
Despite what he did, I think to hang anyone this day and age is
plain wrong. Lethal injection is a bit more appropriate these days
is it not?

It's not right to kill him.
No matter what he done.

Putting him in a cell on his own for the rest of his life.
No human contact apart from receiving food everyday.

That should have been his punishment.

[Adam]

I was hoping they would break everyone bone in his body 1 at a time. Or break his legs and throw him in a Lions den.

[Shadow]

I agree with Dale. No matter what you've ever done, it isn't right to kill someone. I'd rather just put 'em in jail. This takes me back 2 years ago into 8th grade where we had to write a term paper on whether or not Capitol Punishment was right. I wrote about 20 pages on how it was wrong and got an A :-).

And it's no so much that they don't suffer that makes me say we shouldn't kill him for his crimes. It's just the fact that in my opinion man should not decide when someone dies and how. That's God's job.

[Ben]

Hmm i would rather him be punished, like Dale said, but with no clothes, to be kicked everyday and to be fed just enough for him to live.

I saw the video other day and my god i loved the sight of him dead

[MartinBabies]

Maybe it's safer that he is dead.

[Tayles]

if u ask me he got the easy way out, but i have a lot of opinions people could hate me for,

i think they shouldve gone more medieval on his ass, torture him, then make him want to die...

but then again i feel kinda the same way about our judicial system,
in my opinion if you want to break someones elses human rights, you lose your own, so if u murder, you can get ur ass kicked down to hell

''god'' is a being created by the minds of the manipulative and cunning, where people who believe in him, are the suckllers who feel inadquate and unsure so they look for something almighty to help them in life,

in reality we are here because we are, and if you were put in certain circumstances you would kill to survive, its mans nature after all

we live, we kill, we die...

[Samuel]

I understand the importance of having a trial, and all that. But seriously....everyone knew he was guilty.

I'm glad he died. Capital punishment is good. It allows for the state to enforce it's laws, even to the point of death. So, with that I believe that the death of Saddam is a great milestone in the history of Iraq.

[Adam]

Yeah I think that was a huge step for Iraq. You can't show any weakness during these time and I think giving him a life sentence would have showed weakness. And you would probably have Al Qaeda trying to get him out.

[Dark Method]

My thing is two wrongs don't make a right. Hanging somebody this day and age is as sinful as the crimes he committed if you ask me.

If the Iraqi government wanted to execute him, he should have got a lethal injection instead of being hanged. I saw the video of it on youtube and found it pretty fucking morbid.
