I dont think he should have been Hung because it is like he is getting away with it he should have been made to suffer for all the horrible things he did to "his" people in Iraq
He should not have been hung, it was a quick way out.
He should have been tortured.
I don't think he should of been hung. I don't agree with capital punishment under any circumstances, I don't see what it achieves.
Yes and no.
Yes because;
He's a filthy foreigner who deserves to die. I was glad to see the worthless idiotic man get hung. I loved every minuite of watching it. Good ridance mate.
No because;
They should have cut every piece of his body off, limb by limb to make him suffer for what he has done to the world.
People Are Sick That Post Vids Of People Being Hung they Think its Funny At My School im like Sicko's Sozi went off topic
Yes, he got what he diserved. It's a bit late to say no now.
And at that guy who says he shouldn't be hung who was on the radios / news who was a holy christian saying saddam shouldn't have been hung, and christians say that life is a gift, so logically thinking, he should say saddam should have had the gift taken off him.
Anyway I don't usually come to the debates forum incase of arguements.
Yes, hang him!!!!!
Are you guys for real!??!
Hell yeah he should of been hung :l
yes, coz he hakd meh.
he stole all my Hc's :'(

He shouldn't be tortured, he put the world through alot of hell, but, it is wrong to torture even the most vulgar and cruel person. I know he wasn't tortured, but I'm saying that because some people said he should have been tortured.
He should have been hung because it was his just desserts, he deserved it, it was justice for all the families of the victims of his reign, and the families of the soldiers who died fighting to capture him. He deserved to stand up infront of the people he tortured, and shiver, waiting for his death, for his neck to be twisted.
You may think, well he shouldn't be hung because that is murdering too - No it isn't. It's justice, not murder, it's an execution, not a murder.
Thats true we did summit about it in RS apparently god forgives the executioner or sumthing?? I dont believe in god cos im atheist but hey.Quote:

But he was hung and yeh i think he should have been.
No because his countrys was invaded for no reason, the trial was a US controlled political trial and Iraq was far better with Saddam.
Bush and Blair are the one's who should be hung if anyone's to blame for all this death.
I think he should have been put in jail for life. That way, he will be living a sad and lonely life with no luxurys.
Alot of people now days think once your dead your dead so how is death a punishmnt if this is true? because once hes dead teres nothing to face where as if he was put in prison for the rest of his life he would have had to watch the world go by with out him
Well Im glad he was hung but he should of been tortured: Perticuarly in this way:
He should of had expandable foam shoved up his bumhole, the pain off this would be excruciating but wouldnt kill him... Then he should of been force fed food. After a while his body would of clogged up and he would of started to regurgitate, out of his mouth his own poo.
DIE SADDAM U ******* ******* ****
His death was very quick, but we should have done something worse, torture rack or something.Quote:

But then the US and UK came and claimed he had weapons of mass destruction, which obviously in the end he didn't. I think for killing the people, and all the other crimes against humanity he has committed, he should just be sent to jail, it'd be very hard for him to escape, unless he can get communications from his loyal followers. Hanging him was technically an 'act against humanity' so Bush and co. are at fault there.
To sum it all up, no he shouldn't have, put in jail, yes.
He should have been tortured, fed on the minimum amount of food to just barely keep him alive.
There are sufficient arguments backing up both ends of the argument here.
I believe that Saddam should have had his life made hell and should have been tortured in the horrific ways in which the way he killed his own people. Some people would say Saddam got an easy escape out of it all and that killing him just let him take the easy route out - but I disagree. I feel Saddam will be rotting in hell where he belongs, paying for the torment and crimes he caused.
I think that it comes to a point where certain people simply shouldn't be given the right to live within our society. It was clear Saddam was ultimately "evil" and I feel there is no cure available for these people, other than being removed from our environment - ultimately increasing safety for the rest of the world. For instance Saddam was, and still is, getting a lot of press and I feel he simply didn't deserve it. Someone of his calabre shouldn't even be given the time of day rather than a front page of a news paper, in my opinion.
However, I do disagree with the way in which his killing was handled and I feel it could have been carried out in a much more respectable way. Although I feel Saddam deserved no human rights, I still feel that the filming and then release of his death was simply un-needed and irrelevant.
Hes dead, let him be.
Exactly. At the end of the day it's done. Everyone was notified it would be happening with the 30 days so it's not like it was some sort of big shock no-one new of.Quote:

No, execution is wrong. It doesn't solve anything, but removing the offender completley.
And in this circumstance he will be used as a martyr for others. He should have been made to stand trial for every crime he commited and face up to what he did. He then should have been locked away, forever.
Pictures are hung, people are hanged.
As of Saddam however, I think it was unecessary to kill him, it doesn't prove anything, it's not going to compensate the loss of all those dead people.
If that's the law and his punishment is served then so be it. Although, he didn't personally commit any of the crimes, or of what I know and he was given the power to do it anyway. Also, he wanted to get beheaded or electricuted or something because being hanged is embarrasing or something, well I say he should get what he wants, along with a lovely burial.
i think the americans should have found a better use for him e.g send him into iraq but in controled enviroment if iraqi's found he was working with americans he woulda been killed (what happened anyway) or had a better grip on iraq but it would have been hard for americans to do that
still i dont think he should have hung a man is useful i think he would have been very useful even if he was a coward
Oh, I also think torture would have been pointless.
i dont see why they hung him..
they seems to be able to take care of him in a prison..
and it came rather sudden.
dont you think.
you dont hear about the man for ages then its on the news he is dead. :P
He should have spent the rest of his life in prision, More of a greater punishment than what he recived. He's gone and done with, He didn't suffer like those he killed.
We could of finished them all of in '91, but no the US stopped us. Anyway why a debate? He's gone mmhmh SHOULD he, can be answered with he has
I think yes he should of been hung, and yes I do agree, noone deserves to die... the amount of people he killed, directly or indirectly (his commands) we are talking thousand here is terrible, eventually they decided to catch him and kill him, and in this moment in time he should of been hung.
:) anyway none of us should be bothered because it doesn't exactly effect our lifes does it really?
but yes I do think he should of had a long, torturious death!
He shouldn't have been hung, I think America should've taken a tougher stance against the iraq authorities and asked for a longer trial period before any harsh decision were made.
In my personal view he should have spent his time in prison, remembering all the lives he inadvertently has taken/disrupted. To be fair he was a good leader but not a good person, the country was in quite relative peace after the village incident, so i don't think he, nor noone deserves death as it lowers us to his level.
But on the opposite side of the argument a part of the pain and anger from the families of those who died, died with Saddam, but is revenge ever the logical way to do somthing?
I've seen the hanging video, they tried to portray Saddam as a frightened broken man,but he stood there mouthing off back to the shiite' guards who were mocking him and also deprived him of sleep in his final hours, they also yelled out at the end to him "muqata, muqata, muqata" (sp?) which is the name of radical shiite cleric.
It's quite confusing why the american authorities handed Saddam over the the iraqi goernment, yet the execution was carried out by shiite followers shouting phrases from an anti american cleric. What the hell?
So in conclusion I don't think it was right to hang him, the trial should have been longer, the way the execution was handled was wrong and shows some doubt in the iraqi government's actions.
Also: To the people yelling for torture, what would that do? How would you feel if you was handed all the necessary tools and told to torture Saddam, could you handle watching him die extremely slowly/painfully, screaming and in extreme pain? We're not in the barbaric ages, we're in a world where we treat things logically.

No. It was unjust and pointless. It won't solve anything as quick as people think it would. All it has done it shown the world that Iraq are still capable of killing and has shown me how many sick people there are in the world, both on this forum and in real life.
People who think he should of been hung are just blindly saying that because he killed people, they haven't bothered thinking about anything else. Iraq, the US, the UK and other countries believed he personally killed the 140+ people in that village, yet he never touched them. The way they tortured them was down to the killers who did it. It is the same with whoever said the go ahead to go to war in the US and UK, but they're not hung now are they?
We live in a unfair and mindless society, who don't look at the bigger picture. Iraq was ok before the war, it is a shame "the west" butt in to other cultures.

Not low life really. More like high life bullies who take it out on the little country without proper evidence.
