Do you Think Sadam should of been Hung?

[PaintYourTarget]

He's dead now, the insurgents have one less thing to fight for.

Sure, Saddam kept his country in order but the ways he allowed to do this were completely unacceptable. They had so many charges to punish him for, but they only put him on trial for the one he was hung for as it was the quickest and easiest to prove guilty.

Indeed, but death I think shouldn't of been allowed. They could of done all the reasons to sentence him before a result. Which personally should just of been life time in jail. Hanging never answered anything, other than there is no justified reason to kill someone. He never physically murdered those villagers which I think shouldn't of been the reason why he got death. The people who killed them should of?

The whole war was pointless from the beginning. I don't actually know why they went to war. I don't think it was to capture Saddam, that reason came during the war.

"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong. As president I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq," he told a foreign policy forum on the eve of elections to establish Iraq’s first permanent, democratically elected government.

"And I’m also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities. And we’re doing just that."

"We are in Iraq today because our goal has always been more than the removal of brutal dictator," he said.

"It is to leave a free and democratic Iraq in his place.

"My decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the right decision. Saddam was a threat and the American people and the world is better off because he is no longer in power," the President told the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars

Stated by President Bush

He was a threat? To what? Bush is an idiot, he thought there were Weapons of Mass Destruction. He only used the WOMD card to get Saddam, the fact Saddam hadn't done anything for about 10 years when they started this whole mess kind of makes me wonder if he is telling the truth.

They are in Iraq, to cause more problems. As stated from many critics. The blood of Saddam is the petrol to the fire. Since the war, Iraq is a mess. It is a religious battle. An idiot like Bush, who thinks that capital punishment for big and small “evil doers” is God’s work, because it is in the "bible." God will have Bush's head.

The death of Saddam has not stopped the 2 Iraqi groups, it is business as usual with Shia killing Sunni. As acknowledged with the bombs going off in Iraq the moment he got hanged.

I think Bush thought saddam was a threat to his country. As he is the priminister, it is his duty to keep his country safe

[GommeInc]

It was safe, until the war started and the US and UK made it unsafe by killing innocent Iraqi men, women and children. By safe I mean, able to live with. The UK and US aren't safe, no where is safe?

Bush and think don't come into the same sentence and mix well...

Saddam Hussain didnt do anything it was the people who worked for him and worshiped him

[BL!NKEY]

Saddam Hussain didnt do anything it was the people who worked for him and worshiped him

Hitler didnt do anything eaither.....

Saddam was behind the deaths of hundreds of people and was tried in his own country with the new government and they decided to hang him. That is democracy. The US actualy wanted to slow down the trial but the Iraq government wanted him to be exacuted as soon as possible.

[:Hazel]

In a way no, because I think he should have been made to suffer like he made thousands of other people.

[Ezzie.]

To all you sickos saying he should be tortured, hung drawn and quartered etc, you're seriously messed up... Doing that to him would lower you to a barbaric and evil level of humanity.

As mentioned many times before it was his followers that did the acts, also to one of your quotes saying bush said "we have removed an evil dictator out of power" or whatever, why support a hanging? Shouldn't they have removed him put him on trial (a non death penalty affiliated trial) and put him into jail for his acts against humanity.. you know i'm just trying to use logic here...

Also whoever said "hitler didn't phsyically kill all the people" he ordered the containment camps where they gassed the prisoners and beat them brutally, slammed their hands and fingers in doors repeatedly? Yep, he's a saint.

Don't get my wrong Saddam was a very evil man, but killing him will spark many flames, if there's any terrorist attacks i won't be surprised "/
