Saddam....30 days and counting

[junescrater716]

He is gone. He is gone from this world, and is now in the Hands of God, his Creator, the One in Whose hands we will all return to after we leave this world. God is Just, and will deal with him, and everyone, in justice. We have no place to 'judge' anymore, now that he is gone. God will do the ultimate justice, and deal with him accordingly.

Enough said. This war has killed way too many innocent people for me to care about this. Killing Saddam isn't going to bring anyone's loved ones back. It isn't going to bring back the people he killed. It isn't going to bring back the thousands of innocent Iraqi children, or mothers, or fathers, that the US bombs killed. It isn't going to serve any purpose. I've never liked Saddam, but truly, no matter how much anyone hates him, this 'hanging' will serve absolutely no purpose, at all. I don't care. I hate the war more than I hate Saddam or anyone else, and as far as I'm concerned, the war is still going on, and innocent people are still being killed...each and every day. This will not make any difference.

No it won't bring any of them back but it will prevent them from having to go again. Hanging Saddam wasn't "inhumane" he was a disgusting man who deserved what he got. There was a special on 20/20 last night and even his brother said that Saddam was crazy and deserved to be hanged. He would rape and kill women all the time!!! And you're going to go and tell me that his death was inhumane? I think not.

I don't see where PCB said killing Saddam was "inhumane"...although I might. Isn't killing anyone "inhumane" perhaps?

Furthermore, I am pretty sure it would be difficult for the people he killed to "having to go again."

I think the issue is....at what price did this crazy/horrid/evil man get his? How many Iraqis and Americans and citizens of the other nations which have participated have died to remove this one evil dictator???

And how many evil dictators does that leave in the world?

(and please....before someone goes off on THAT tangent....Iraq/Saddam ---NOT involved in 9/11)

[RICHARD]

And how many evil dictators does that leave in the world?

Let's see, they could be Republicans and Democrats, right?

I'm with you on that one Junescrater, the man didn't even deserve to be fed, so why let him live.

[junescrater716]

Thanks! You're the only one who agrees with me.

I think most people agree with you, I know that I most certainly do.
But of course we always have the soapboxers, and the dogooders who think they know all of the answers. I'm sure they are the highly vocal minority.
Everyone I have spoken to this morning in my Australian country town were all too glad of his execution....perhaps we are detached enough out here from the madness to see exactly what is right and what is wrong.

I'm curious...is that as opposed to the dobadders who either DO know all the answers or do they also only think they know all the answers???

bc - Iraq does not have the same laws pertaining to death that the US does...I remember news reports saying that once he (or anyone) is sentenced to death, that the sentence has to be carried out within thiry days. So that means he is not even around for his second trial (I wondered about this, but you can't kill someone twice).

There are two men charged with him who were to be hanged at the same time he was.

I think Death Row in Iraq is a pretty short one, from the little I have seen.

Not a bad idea at all, IMO.

Videos of his hanging are already flooding the web.The onlookers
jeered & taunted Saddam right to the end. He left the world shouting
and he did look scared before the trap door opened.

[Kfamr]

The whole thing disgusts me.
I don't disagree with him dying however, why is there a need for people to watch? All there was needed was one person doing the deed and one person video taping it for those who needed proof. No one needed to be there shouting at him. There was no reason for onlookers. That made us sink to his level, in my opinion.
