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

[Josh-H]

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 ******* ******* ****

[ItsDave]

Yes and no.

I loved every minuite of watching it. Good ridance mate.

His death was very quick, but we should have done something worse, torture rack or something.

I'll just copy what I said in some other thread:

There are very few people in the World who deserve the death penalty, Hitler and Osama Bin Laden being 2 of them. Saddam in my opinion, was actually a good leader of Iraq, sure he killed some people, but Iraq was in peace. Of course they had their tensions with neighboring countries, and Israel. 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.

[Caution]

He should have been tortured, fed on the minimum amount of food to just barely keep him alive.

[Ostinato]

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.

[Eckuii]

Hes dead, let him be.

[Ostinato]

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.

It's done now and it can't be changed.

[alexxxxx]

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.

[Roboevil]

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
