Should the execution of Saddam Hussein go ahead?

no its not right.....................

No...no...no.. I thinks Bush that should be hanged.

I think hanging him will ahve many consequences which may take furtehr lifes of several innocent people

He should be, cuz he violated Human rights...

Yes......the hanging punishment to saddam should go ahead since he is culprit

I am not a vengeful man and I was raised to love instead of hate. At this time in my life I can't think of anyone I hate or dislike enough to even slap but... About the worse thing I have had to experience was being told by my music teacher at 8 years old that I should never open my mouth to sing. And being an orphan I endured a lot of hurtful things kids say. Again but... If you kill my family or have anyone kill my family I reserve the right to kill you right back. An eye for an eye but in this case hanging is too good and too quick. He should be put in prison for the rest of his life while the people he ruled over gets to throw things at him and poke him for the rest of his life. Killing someone for a crime is too easy and it's not a deterrent to crimes because people are never going to be caught or they don't care if they do die. So that's doesn't help does it. On the other hand if you knew you would live and go through hell for the rest of you life you just might have second thoughts.

Yes, the hanging execution of Saddam should go ahead. To those who wonder what good this could possibly accomplish, I will remind of some history. After WWII in both Germany and Japan there were top leaders executed by hanging for war crimes. Just like Saddam is about to be hung. Gee, what happened in Germany and Japan after this happened? Both countries went on to bright futures as economic powerhouse democracies. Do we want that for Iraq? Of course, we do! To those who say the hanging of war criminals after a despot loses a war does not contribute to future success of that country, I say you are wrong. Tyrants, are not stupid. Ordinary criminals mostly are stupid. Executions, it can be argued do not deter many criminals. It will deter a tryant. Tryants are not stupid like ordinary criminals. They also want meek populaces that won't stand up for themselves. Execute the former tryant, and all the future tryants think twice about their plans of subjugation. With all potential dictators ducking for cover and keeping a low profile, democarcy, freedom, and economic progress have a better chance. Therefore, hang Saddam. Even better, hang him at New Years. Use a split screen video feed to show the Apple in Times Square NY dropping at the same time as Saddam.

No Saddam shouldn't be hanged. His trial has been stage managed by USA. I am against the atrocities committed by him but at the same time he did lot of good work for people of Iraq. My suggestion would be let UNO decide the bench for his trial and let the trial be most transparent manner and in non aligned country.

My personal opinion is that he should not be hanged. Yes there were murders and selected killings during his regim. And he should be accounted for that. If we follow this principle, all those rulers and ex rulers in the world and particularly in the gulf region also accountable for mass murdering and ironically they're still rulers. They have power and so nobody can touch them. And Saddan has no power, let them hang him. Do you think is this a real justice? I think he already got the punishment. He lost both his sons. The former ruler family is in disarray. Another thing during his regim Iraq was peaceful as there was no bloodshed like today under a puppet regime. There was no sectarian violence during his regim. With an iron hand he suppressed all violence in his country like any other gulf country. All these are positive side of his regime. If they want to hang Saddam, let them hang all the rulers who did and still doing savageries against human kind.

Good question! I know many people think its the right thing to do, but I am scared for the revenge reaction that will follow after the execution. What if there is renewed trrorist attacks on the USA and UK? Why not just put him in jail for life, he is an old man and will not live for that long anymore!

Saddam should nto be hanged because: Before going to war USA have said that he is having weapons of mass destruction and he is threat to world, have you heard any WMD is find by USA? do you know is he did any wrong to USA peoples, but you will say that he have done many wrong things to iraq people, but you have to think the reality in iraq, If some body decides to kill a president his punishment may be according to the law of nation, It is the duty of Judge to give the punishment according to law, now they have given the punishment to judge also for giving punishment! Have you heard any punishment for judge in history like this? If some body try to kill president of USA will the law of US will allow? may be he is elected or Dictator? Ok, you will come to next point that he have murdered many peoples near about 50 to 100-thousand peoples by gasing and bombing You have to think first: if he has the capable of gas boms and cluster boms to kill this much number of peoples why he have not used it in the war between Irq and USA, Iraq and Iran, Iraq and Kuwaith. You can very what CIA had said at the time in tha below link: Please think about his past ruling: when he was the ally to USA he was praised by USA when he was a ally.

no it sure would cost THE U.s.A. a lot of leeway in tempting toward other things; their tactic for creating the belief that we hold some kind of power to exectute any punishment oriented verdict against this guy from an American standpoint is beyond our control. -They are going to be forced to send him elsewhere if not his home country to be executed by law of subtle grudge overlaping probabilities occurring too quickly over the matter. It could stir up other dangers in not only Saddam's home and neighboring countries but many others quite infatuated with ending AMerican policy throwing its weight around only to perform unneccessary militant actions. If you were to ask the opinion of anyone else you might as well just picture a bunch of tacky looking arrows from other countries pointing in the direction of America on the world map for the next nation to have a depression due to negligent problem solving...

this is quite a tricky question as this is not just about a man who should be hanged or not but this question has wider ramifications as it involves different nationalities, culture and most of all this execution whether it take or not will shape many events in the world in future. I am not an expert on international politics but as a citizen of the world, I think he is not given a fair trial, he should be tried in the court of his own country, according to laws of that country and keeping in views the sentiment of the people. Also the experts in international politics have to think if the world will be a safer place with or without him I would just say...whatever is the decision...peace should prevail

i don't think he should be hanged.if he must be,why should we spare bush? besides ,hanging him will onle give way to violence in iraq.

Well,I do not think I have a right to condemn this man or any other.The Iraqi people should pass judgement on him and the Americans should keep their noses out of the running of other governments because we are not doing well with our own country

of course he must be hanged..and paid for the killings of thousand of civilians ,,he was convicted thru evidences and facts not by intuition or hearsay...we must respect the international law..all i want to be shared is about fairness..if one is a criminal then one should be punished according to the crimes committed isnt it then??

yes he should be hanged for all the attrocities he has done in the gulf countries.....but there are many chance s of a break of riots across iraq due to his execution...which can result in the loss of several lives

What would any delaying do? He'd probably just end up being sentenced by teh Hague anyways. Just kill him, he deserves it, they want it, its justice.

its already done

Saddam should be handed over to the government of his own country and they should decide about the action to be taken over him for his deeds.Basically the people of Iraq can only tell better about him and his deeds so let them take the action and others stay calm..
