Well people should Saddam be hanged or not? That is the question? Is he a Hero or a villain?
Did he work for the CIA against Iran?
What will the consequences be?
So what do you think?
The neck tie party or NOT?
cheers

The LAW has decided that he WILL be hanged. Who are we to say anything about it. The verdict has been passed, the jury has decided, the judge has condemned. Hail the United States of America, that have brought LAW into the wild wild middle east.

And much like a true western ( now middle eastern ), the big bad ass guy gets hanged for his crimes. Yeehaaarrr cowboy! Giddie up!

But in a strange twist of events I can see Saddam saying when they pass the noose, ( in heavy Austrian accent ):

"I'll be back!"

Dadam dam dam..

Quite. I must admit the howl about "fair trial" amuses me because, now, there is no chance of anyone, anywhere, in any case not being prejudiced by the media!

(At least in the UK there is an attempt to restrict reporting; you won't read anything in the mainstream media about the alleged Ipswich murderer between indictment and trial, but there was acres of print between arrest and indictment which won't go away. The US seems to have given up completely and any speculation of any degree of craziness may take place at any time ...)

who cares ?
he lost his power any way.

a umber of groups claim a non-fair trial. with so many evidence against him, they could have hanged him with a fair trial, but it seems that they are unable to do that as well

Saddam is a criminal but I am against capital punishment. No one should be executed, ever.

Cyperzokily have a point but I prefer to hang him than to see him president of Iraq again.

Maybe now there is no point to deal with him in such way but what else can be done?

Maybe lock him for ever and stop dealing with him until his natural death is another one solution.

In the other hand I’m not so piece full person like Bananoit I prefer to see some people dead to save bigger numbers and to minimum causalities, it’s proven by the history what if some people was shoot in right time that it could for the good of the general interest.

Politic with the religious madness can be just math because there is never an easy solution.

I'm against a state taking a human life that it doesn't own, even if that life belongs to someone evil like Saddam.

There are no human rights involved and there is no legal ethic about a non state citizen.

If someone was going to hang Hitler there was also going to be humanitarian’s mother Tereza speeches. The only reason I see to not hang him is the possible reaction of the Iraqis and nothing more.

He is a criminal bustard and I do not give a shit for his life, the issue is politic and not humanitarian or anything else.

Article 3

Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. (it doesnt matter if he is saddam or not)


Article 5

No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

No, he should not be hanged. I am not an advocate of the death penalty but this has nothing to do with human rights. A human being capable of atrocities and cruelty of this kind should be left to live their days in seclusion and spend each day suffering in total isolation and silence. Eventually they will lose their mind and the will to live, a far better punishment. Execution is an easy way out.

The very same applies to paedophiles, except in their case I do believe in punishment involving pain.

I was discussing with my father and told me exactly the same, maybe if he live locked for the rest of his life it’s a worst punishment but either way I do not give a shit for that animal.

Human rights are for humans that suppose to respect them a criminal that did not respect any human right can’t be using them for an excuse.

For me he is not even countable as a human.

His life and his punishment does not concern me, he is a humanoid criminal and his life cost 0,1 cent but if there is a political cause a reason to do it then do it. The political affect have more importance than his pathetic life or punishment and in the same way if there was a political reason to keep him in jail for the rest of his pathetic life then lock him. His life, his case, doesn’t worth more than a potato chip.

Someone told me he got the Green Light from the USA to invade Kuwait like Turkey did when it invaded Cyprus in 74':
Someone else also told me he got the Green Light from Turkey to Gas the Kurds!

But it only shows you how QUICK US policy can change:
