Saddam Hussian - Should he have been hung? [Closes 05/02/07]

[Mentor]

Im against capital punishment in any form, iraqi's should be trying to better itself after his removal, not lower themselves down to his level "/

I swear to you It would take me at least 70 pages to write down everything that he has done to the Iraqi people.. But yet i won't i know everyone has there own opinion but that’s opinion is NOT EXACTLY right i am half Iraqi and i know and have more experience about this then any one on this forum i would tell you one thing..

Saddam used to pick random Shiite from Iraq and kill them then they would go to his families house and tell them that they have to pay for the bullets that they killed there husband/ relative with, if they do not pay them Saddam him self or one of his workers will strip there wife/sister/relative and rape them in front of their family anyone who doesn’t believe me can go to hell because i have seen it happy when i was 8,

There are a lot more stuff this is just something small but i will not explain.

on one hand there is the fact an eye for an eye, but then there is also the fact that two wrongs will never make a right. Yes, it may at first give you a sense of reprieve or of happiness, but he wasnt exactly going to do any harm to anyone by rotting in prison. Also, im pretty sure that whether he was hanged or imprisoned no-one would exactly be defending him from abuse, so really the hanging was upholding the fairness in his trial. It protected him from a lifetime of abuse and hatred, but then again no-one protected others from a lifetime of abuse and hatred because of him. The fact is in 1990/1991, in the first gulf war he was defeated and stripped of alot of weapons. However, it was in americas best interest that he stayed in power as he was basicaly immune from punishment for doing terrible things to other countries. Saddam was not an evil man, but a product of an evil society in the west. If people were not greedy for oil, desperate to get rid of competitors and oppress upcoming countries, then id seriously doubt the majority of people who saddam tortured would actually have been tortured. The things he did for america basically made him immune from invasion, until the creator of "friendly fire" decided enough was enough. Good on him in that respect, but it should not have had to come to this. Yes, for what he did he deserved to be punished, but killing him is just giving him reprieve.

Strange how it hasn't? The war only started because of Bush and other people thinking Iraq was going to destroy the world with invisible Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Saddam should of been hunged or sent to prison for life for the crimes he has done for example; killing all them families. He deserved it.

Saddam removed people who were plotting against him, yes innocent people were killed but that's exactly the same as any other war but Saddam removed them for a reason, to keep the country going whereas US and UK went into a illegal invasion which wasn't worth the cost of any lives.

No One Deserves The Right To Die. He Should Have Suffered Like Been In Prison For Rest Of His Life.

I don't believe in captial punishment, as I see it as very hypocritical. But if they left him in a cell theres a chance that his supporters good break him out.

No there isn't? How would they? What good would it do? He had no power anymore? Breaking him out would be a waste of effort and time. A lost cause.

I like the promised peace in Iraq. They killed 2 more people and one of their heads came off. Wow, Iraq seems like such a nice place now :rolleyes:
