Saddam Hussein executed

[shadowprophet]

Saddam Hussein was without a doubt a bad man.
But he was no hitler.
Hitler did way way worse then saddam

[gamerremag]

I have the video where it shows him in the bodybag or in a white sheet, the FULL hanging video is probably on limewire as we speak

no, the news stations around the world cut the video....those lucky b*s*a*d* got to see it live...but they deserved to watch it i guess...with all that S*** that happen to 'em becaused of saddam

[acn010]

i still remember that a group of terrorist cut the head out of this soldier

America invaded Iraq due to the fact that Saddam Hussein was a direct threat to America, he was developing weapons with which to attack the US.

It's been since proven that this was clearly utter crap. So lets not patronise ourselves by talking about terrorism or 'liberating' Iraqi people. These have nothing to do with the reason why the country was invaded. These are all buzzwords put out there by a Government that wanted an uncooperative dictator out of the way (they'd much prefer someone who treats their people just as bad, but will pander to US wants if previous form stands true).

What new threat did Saddam present? none actually, his country was relatively stable, the things Saddam was trialled for were over 10 years old, he's no worse than numerous leaders of countries around the world that have the full support of the US government. He was attacked to settle old scores Bush's dad never managed to deal with. Which is fine until you think of the thousands of civilians and soldiers who have died for this cause.

I'm completely against the death penalty personally, it's barbaric and outdated. What impression do you give to your people if you say people can be murdered... but only if they deserve it. Who's to say who deserves to die? Irrespective of that, yes it's good Saddam is no longer in a position of power, one less evil dictator in the world is always a good thing, but let's be honest about the situation here, if we're going to be condemning someone who's caused the death of thousands of people allegedly, let's make sure our hands are ultra clean ourselves.

Not sure why you guys actually want to watch someone being murdered, that's just horrible- and don't post links here please.

^ a well put point!

as i think of it another reson that the US went into iraq was mainly for "illegibly" oil. Wasnt there a big fuss that the US went into iraq for it? Did the US even find "wepons of mass desturction"? There are still many things unknown and left to be answered. Also i can't say i justify the death sentence of saddam or anyone for that matter, as people we don't have say to weather someone should live or die. Its actually funny to see how people even those who are very religious would say,"im glad saddam is out of power even if he was put to death".

Im gald that a dictator is out of power as thats all well and good. But as we see in any storie when one evil is destroyed a more powerful one comes into place, its only a matter of time........

I play to many RPG games!

who cares, he's dead now!

[SSaxdude]

Sorry..

The next question:

Would you all have rather he had a longer, more painful death or one so quick as hanging?

How about the rest of his life in prison, and they feed him only oatmeal.

Let's also remember that Saddam was hanged for killing 148 people, not the thousands he did over a period of 20 years (estimates in the 200,000s.)

I'd prefer him being fed moldy bread crumbs, but you know, to each his own...

Yes, as a matter of fact we did find them.

I don't know all the details, but I know that we found them.

they just wanted enought to kill him...if they did want to do everything he did, it would take forever.

so if he cooperated with the president, he'd be fine? what about all the cities he destroyed? if saddam was cooperating with you would you let him live? if he said that you and him would take over the world one by one by destroying everything in site, would you say that that was ok? people who kill are the ones who deserve to die. an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. if i was to pick a way for saddam to die, it would be that every iraqi (srry for the mispelling) that had a family member that died because of saddam, every person that was wounded because of him, stuck one needle in him. do you know how painfull archipuncture is? imagine, hundreds of thousands of needles...although hanging is pretty good.
