Saddam....30 days and counting

[wombat2u2004]

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

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.

Junescrater, when did I say killing him is inhumane?????????

Buttercup, when did I say I wanted him alive?????

I only said he's now in God's hands, God will deal with him in His supreme justice, AND, it makes no difference to me either way. I really don't care. It doesn't matter to me. He's dead, fine...he's dead. Its not like its going to end the war, or prevent other evil people in this world from harming innocent people.

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.

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.

Couldn't agree with you more.

kay. what us? He was tried in an Iragi court, by an Iragi judge, and
sentenced to death under Iragi law.Hanging is legal in that country.They
control the courts & set the" arena" for the execution (how many can be
in the room, etc.)

No one has to hunt down the link to the video. It was within an NBC
news website.
