Iraqi Government Executes Former Dictator.
Was execution a just punishment for Saddam?

 

Death is not a punishment. Jail is. If you wanted saddam to feel pain and suffer and let him taste some of his own shit then you would put him to jail. I think they let if go to easy.

 

this thing just like to wash your dirty hand with a dirty cloth. But, it's already done. So, that's.

 

i guess usa wanted to see fear on his face but he was brave last breath...

 

Of course it was, why should people foot the bill for him living in comfort in jail?

 

Hanging Saddam is like forgiving him. It is not question of footing his bill in the jail. Lets not forget, he made thousands of people rot in Jail with food, medicine and even sunlight. he tortured them to extent that they could neither live nor die and when they died , their death was most horrific and many times, even their relatives did not get their body for decent burial.

He should have been made to live in prison in the similar circumstances to understand what he did to others.

 

If you're looking to take an eye for an eye then I guess you could have sent him into the desert and then gassed him with all sorts of interesting chemicals, though I don't think giving him a creative and fitting punishment was the objective.

I'm sure he'd rather have been hanging around in prison, contunuing to be a figurehead for terrorists and dissidents until his supporters managed to free him.

 

yes, on second thoughts, i tend to agree with you !!!!!!

 

Yes. I believe the murderer gets executed once convicted and receives a rejection in the appealing process.

 

I'll let you know when I find out if Saddam is in heaven or hell, which means I am drinking beer(good german beer to be exact)in a pub in heaven talking with my home-boy Jesus....

 

I think at the time of execution was the perfect time to exit IRAQ.

 

Everybody says jail is worse then death, but I've been to jail before and it's really not THAT bad. I mean it sure as hell is no F'ing picnic, but worse than death? That's kinda pushin it I think...

 

The chain gang would be good punishment picking up the litter along the Iraqi highways in the 120 degree sun.

 

It's odd that america claimed to be taking democracy to a country and the first thing they do with this new found freedom is lynch their old, elected leader, in an old barn, by a mob in masks who filmed it on a phone.

 

Was he not elected? it might help if you use words to make a point instead of infantile gifs.

 

It might help if you don't omit the fact that his people were so scared of him that he got 100% percent of the vote. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2331951.stm
So, no, to say he was elected with a straight face is a joke.

 

So he was elected then. Just like i said.

Yeah they really hated him....
Good job we liberated them and had him executed in a barn by a masked mob.

 

Uh, no, he was put into power by a farcical election. Given your inherent British intellectual superiority to my American one, I'd have thought you'd notice the difference.

So the US AND UK did not topple a truly elected leader in Saddam.

 

What is the UK doing over there?
