Saddam....30 days and counting

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.

I didn't mean YOU I meant the other person. The first sentence was directed to you. lol

The reason why it was put on tv was because the people from Iraq wanted to be sure that he really was dead. They wanted to be sure that they were free from his "rule".

I agree with you Kay, and the others who were bothered by the "celebratory" nature of this situation. It really creeps me out that people would want to hunt down a video and watch it happen. It creeps me out when people would act gleeful and celebratory of an execution. My feeling is it should be viewed as justice, with more an attitude of grimness, something that needed to be done, something his own people sentenced him to and carried out. Laughing and jeering and making a spectacle of it bothers me very much. This isn't directed at anyone here, just some attitudes in general I have seen around me. Something about the whole thing makes me uneasy, though I couldn't exactly say why. My belief is that his fate is in God's hands now, his soul is for God to judge.
