Am I wrong to feel that Saddam should not have been hung, but rather to let him live his life out in jail/rot?

Larry

Yes, I feel that you are wrong. Why should people have to keep him fed, clothed, housed, pay for his doctor, dentist and everything else that happens to sustain a person in this world. What do you think he would do to you if he had the opportunity? I could go on and on, but why waste my time even thinking concerning him!!!

In a way you could be wrong about this let me explain...

A person left in jail for the rest of there life shouldnt be left to Rot... Infact they should be there to learn the difference between the truths and lies. The goal of jail should be to educate people in them to not make the same mistakes again and have a different view on life a better view. I honestly think the US was terribly wrong to put saddams life in danger by allowing him to die in the way he did. It did us a great dis service but we can over come it. Just might take an impeachment or a couple years before we even begin to rebuild our reputation cause bush obv doesnt care. he has helped to destroy the republican party along with all his friends.

I have a problem with the hanging, too. Saddam was hanged because of politics and not because he crossed some line. Every president in our history has been responsible for somebody's death. If the particular president ever got on the wrong side of the power structure, he might get hung, too. In fact, some people on this very site have been crying out for Bush to be tried for crimes against humanity. Now, Bush may have screwed up this war and maybe he should never have gone in, but crimes against humanity??? The political executioners of today may be the political condemned when the political winds change. As such, setting a presedent like hanging Saddam just makes it much more easy to hang someone who probably doesn't deserve it as much.

This moderate view being said, it probably makes no difference at all.

you no wrong

Oh, I'm so with you on this one. He should have been locked up, left for hell to haunt him. He should have suffered a HELL OF A LOT MORE than just ridding himself from the world by being hung. Did you see the look on his face right before he was hung? He TOTALY didn't care. He was so proud of what he did and he didn't give a damn that he was gonna die. So yah, I agree that he should have been left in a cage and lived the rest of his life paying for what he did. that sicko needed TIME OUT...should of "sat in the corner" He was a VERY BAD BOY...cause he was NEVER a "man". But, it's all done and over with and there is nothing we can do about it.

I'm moving on and just thankful I don't have to hear another horror story about that SICK FK!

No I dont think its wrong to feel the way you do, thats your opinion and feelings.

I agree a suitable punishment for him to have oever the rest of his life rather than an easy out by hanging.Hanging him is almost
like condoning his actions by replication .
peace out

I feel the same way, we should not kill yet allow to live a miserable life in prison with NO contact and NO previliges

Yes, very wrong. If he were kept alive, there are enough followers of his to eventually return him to power by force.

No, I don't think it's wrong. I think by killing him, the Shiite government has turned him into a Sunni martyr and a figure who insurgents can claim to rally around.

I think in reality no one can really argue that anyone really wanted Saddam back in power. Few people in Iraq actually liked him, and he didn't have enough post-invasion followers to "return him to power by force".

Plus sometimes a lifetime in jail slowly rotting away is much worse than a quick death.

i thing same thing shud have hapen to Reagon and both bush also, they are equally invovled in same kinda crime wht Saddam did.....

With as many people as he hung for no reason and all the war crimes he commited I beleive he got exactally what he deserved. What is the point paying to have criminals who murder then let them live were they get three meals a day. Get college paid for and a roof over there head. I think that is being to nice. I am glad they denied him an appleal and sentanced him to death.

i don't know, but my only thought is this,

if left in jail to rot, what is to stop him from influencing his followers even from in a jail? its happened before.

mattapan26

If you couldn't execute Sadam Husein for mass murder, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace, attempted genocide and commencing an aggressive war, then there is no criminal on earth whom you would execute. The record cried out for the ultimate punishment.

Anybody

How about scrubbing floors and cleaning out bedpans?
