Hanging Saddam Hussein. What's your opinion ?

I don't believe that hanging Saddam Hussein is the wisest thing to do. Of course, he is a murderer of thousands, just as you said, and perhaps they were afraid, he will take escape from prison or whatever. But even if we are leaving moral reasons aside, and watch the case just from practical point of view, I personally would never vote for capital punishment. Hanging him makes a martyr of him, and that may cause even more problems.

Well, I have always been on the fence when it comes to Capitol Punishment, but with this man I think he should die. He is evil incarnate, and should pay for what he has done. And if they ever, wich I doubt, catch Osama, he should be next.

i think this is not at all a good thing to do. he has ages a lot and so people could have given him life imprisonment rather than hangin him cause hanging a person is not a very good thing to do. and also he was a leader of a country and to treat him like this is also an insult to that country and this is not acceptable. and iraq has not taken this lightly. and also who told that bush to go to iraq and save thwe people who had actually no problem. man he just wen to take control over the oil over there so that they can control the ecnomy and extend their power more.

in his case, yes i am in favor of it, since he has murdered thousands of shiites simply because he feels he is superior to them

till now he is hanged sorry late for the response

Well this is the question we have to ask the people of Iraq because they have gone through his regime and they know what it is like. neither you nor I have a loved one because of this man but those people out there have lost many a dear one , a loved boyfriend, a father, brother, sister under crazy circumstances. So sitting in our living rooms with all our loved ones we can't say it is wrong or right it is up to them to decide.

I am not saying that he is a good man but at this time it is not good to give him deth penalty because of this the condition of iraq will become more wrost

I also am not mulçulmano, however I agree to you. Nobody can give one of God and fondness to take off the life of somebody. Thousands of forms exist of punished somebody without taking off the life. I believe that to make they to give service and still to continue imprisoned he would be one of the biggest punishments that it to die and not to only suffer more.

I do not believe in public execution in makes me feel as if we are in medevil times. I do believe that the man was sentence correct however.

No I don't consider it right to hang saddam .His case should have been considered on a humanitarian basis. Killing a human being isn't right at all. But it is very sad that this has happened.

you say no man should take another mans life but it happens everyday weather its publicized or not. A hanging is not of out time any more and it should have been handled better. I fear for those in Iraq because this isnt going to solve much at all.

Well I think the man should be punished. I do not have any desire to watch the hanging. Even with a man as evil as him, I can not watch it. I do think that people should be punished to the greatest extent they can be according to their crimes. So he should die but then I do fight with that myself, because God says "thou shalt not kill" - But does that pertain to criminal acts? I am not sure. I don't know this is a very good topic to discuss though and a lot of people have different opinions about it that is for sure. I wonder how the people feel who have to do the actual "job" of hanging the criminals. We all do need to remember though that his own country sentenced him to that punishment. The Americans did not have anything to do with the decision to hang Saddam Hussein.

Executing Saddam is worse than the crimes he committed against his opponents... It is impossible to defend Saddam and to find reasons to be lenient with him. His crimes against his citizens were outrageous. He was a cruel and harsh dictator. He deserves to be punished. His fate as a person is not important. I hoped that he would be prosecuted in an Iraq with democracy and the rule of law.

saddam shudn't hav been hanged

Just for interest, here is a video of him getting hanged: http://www.SaddamExecution.co.nr

And Saddam deemd himself a sacrifice. What a coincidence. It seems all worked in his "favour", so to speak. However, on a serious point of view, Saddam's justice is a sham and a very bad precedence to future generations. The current interim government have set a trap for themselves. As soon as they are ousted, they will be hanged too. That is the way it goes!

Well this is the question we have to ask the people of Iraq because they have gone through his regime and they know what it is like. neither you nor I have a loved one because of this man but those people out there have lost many a dear one , a loved boyfriend, a father, brother, sister under crazy circumstances. So sitting in our living rooms with all our loved ones we can't say it is wrong or right it is up to them to decide.

hey hav u ever kno wat saddam has done to his people... he has almost killed a city of people... n dont say its a stupid rumour !!!!! he has tortured some !! more tan US millitary troops hav done to their captures !!!!! so i say wat has been done is the right decission... he shud feel the torture ..the pain... !

Yes I just heard the news that Saddam Hussein will be hanged around 2pm this afternoon my time, and yes I think it is the right thing to do to hang him for taking so many innocent lives it is dreadful what he did. It would be good if there was another way to prosecte him, and for a start animals don't do what Saddam has done to innocent people

I am not muslum either but, I do believe this whole thing is politically motivated. What about the many sacrifices made on both side of this war. Many innocent people have did. Do we ever stop to think about the blood we are shedding and the loved ones we are killing to feed the hatred they already have. We are creating our own problems and setting ourselves up to be excuted. The deat of Saddam is just as unjust as this war and what of the Iraqi people when we leave, what have we created for them. I don't think they can ever regain a stable society. Hello! Did anyone say cival war? All I have to say is we need to think of how Christ treated everyone. Do you seriously think he would want this? After all, didn't he dine and walk with the heathen as their brother too.
