If it's wrong to kill do you think it's wrong to hang Saddam?

uncle billy

it is wrong to murder, killing in this case is justice not murder

tumbleweed1954

What he has done is far, far worse than hanging. Nobody is stooping to his level.

SadToday22

He's a threat to others, so now I don't think it's wrong.

Stevie F

In my opinion that would be hypocrisy, but the crimes Saddam has commited are just to heavy for a life sentence in jail so in that case it's justice

xlhdrider

he has done enough damage to mankind. Its time for him to go

Chris H

Its a double standard when it comes to that in my opinion. but on the same token, couldn't it also mean "kill or be killed", if we let him live and he happens to gain power again, what could he do?

yournotalone

Do unto others as you would have done to you. Great philosphy.
He should be hanged. He deserves it - its definately justice.

shominyyuspa

No. Hang him in the streets like the dog that he is.

Why do you think it's wrong to kill? Did you ever read the Bible? Lots of killing there, but there's a difference it's not killing it's justice, it's what we have as human's on this planet. God will give the final judgement.

I never believe that violence is the answer except in extreme cases where other lives are in danger. This is one of those extreme cases. So yes he deserves to be hung. I hope that they find Osama next and hang him. I personally believe that hanging is too quick a death for both of them though.

AlexS

This is a different situation. Saddam is a terrorist. He killed many. So I think it's justice. It's fair to hang Saddam. Let him rot in hell!

IMHO

Either we kill him or my tax money goes to keeping him alive in jail. I choose the first.

harley w

kill him any way just get the job done he doesn't deserve to live

TMLeaf Fan

I agree with that it is hypocritical to punsih someone for murder by killing them. Saddam should rot in hell on earth for the remainder of his life.

kikime

Nope hang the b*tch! he deserves to suffer! i think a hanging is actually above him!

Vadalia

I think there comes a point that, even if it brings us down to their level, we just have to take one for the team and take out someone who's that much of a threat to innocent people.

saddam has killed over 1000 people in 9/11 its justice!!!!!!!email me @ thumper_and_velvet@yahoo.com

How about was it wrong for Saddam Hussein to order the horrendous torture, and slaughter of thousands of his fellow countrymen? How about it being wrong for this monster (between him and Hitler I can't even guess which one was more demonic) to use a w eapon of mass destruction on a great many of his countymen and fellow Muslims? The Iraqi people were under the unthinkable domination of this monster and his two devilish sons for some three and a half decades, and his reign of horror has me lost for words to begin to d escribe. They a re ridding the world of an evil that was, and is, beyond the imagination of most of the rest of the world, because any ordinary ;person's mind can't wrap itself around the thought of one human being being capable of such horrors. I do NOT call that "stooping to his level" When he is executed, as he rightly should be, he will not be tortured with electric wires, or have his eyes gouged out, or his body slashed in a thousand places and he's left to lie there and bleed out till he dies.. He will be put to death quickly and cleanly, and that is waaaaaaaaaay more than this son of the Devil himself deserves.

steve k

how about an eye for an eye (as the bible says)

i cant wait to see him hang
if you lived there, so would you

Maybe he should have thought of that before he killed all the people that he killed. Ask the families of the people he killed, that is were you will find the true answer to your question.

daisy

Actually, he should be tortured like he tortured others until he dies. If we brought back the torture penalty then I think the crimes would go down.

Nat S

i think its wrong but i think a lot of others are hypocrites

jmorritz

I do think it's wrong. I also think that his trial was far from being fair.

We need to be able to set an example and say to the world that killing people is soooooo wrong, that even though this evil man deserves it, we are not going to stoop to that level.

Terry

I don't believe in the death penalty, even for Saddam. I don't think in his case there is any doubt he's guilty, but the death penalty is in general wrong because it is not reversible in the event of error.

In his case, there is another reason not to kill him; we'll end up with a martyr - that's a more powerful symbol than if we just let him rot in jail.

However, this is not America's decision - the trial is in Iraq, under an Iraqi legal system, and a sovereign power - nothing to to with the US.

Oh - and I can't believe ANYONE is so stupid as to link Saddam with 9/11 - even our deranged president has finally admitted when asked what Saddam had to do with 9/11 - "nothing". Well, at least he finally figured that out.

OhIdonno

I won't sit here and help out SadDAMN, but life does have value. He knew this when he did all those things. He was only dreaming that justice wouldn't catch up with him.

What his punshment should be then, I don't know.

(When you say hypocrisy you sound like a nut job.)

Huey Freeman

His sentence isn't the biggest thing on my mind, no offense if it causes it. Iran, North Korea, Osama bin Laden, Joseph Kony, these are things that concern me. The minute they captured Hussein, who was hardly the threat to the United States as Osama still is, I could've cared less about him.

TanTan

its wrong simply for the principle, that everyone should get a fair trial , which i dont think he did.

It's just me!

If someone has to die, the justice has died too! Stooping down to their level, makes you just as bad as the killer, because then you too, become a killer!

Rebel Eye Kayne

Yes, I think it's wrong, yes I think it's stooping to their level and yes it is hypocracy to me.
