Saddam will be hanged/hung within next few hours. I'm against this, as I don't see how the execution will solve any problems apart from Western political vested interests. I bet Bush and Blair will feel happy tomorrow.
Yes, and beside that, death are not a pumishment, if they want to punish him, put him to jail for the rest of his life.
I don't think death is even near the punishment he deserves! I atleast hope they show it on TV, so the entire would can lauch of him!
Some great jpegs by AGS on this subject today http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=207334 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=205758&page=2
Well it seems that those objecting to Saddam's death are objecting to the use of the death penalty as a punishment in any case. I personally see the death penalty as a very VERY stringent punishment, and a good measure of deterrent against high offenses.
Are we up to three pity party threads yet? Congrats to the Iraqis for finally getting justice! I heard there were thousands and thousands that lined up for the honor.
Millions of Iraqis who lost their children, their husbands or wives, and so much else will be glad when Saddam has left this world. He brought it all upon himself.
Don't start cheer-leading just yet GTech, as gworld pointed out making Saddam a martyr is a bad mistake. Expect a violent backlash in the wake of his execution with even more American troops and innocent Iraqi women and children being killed. But it's all OK because it is part of the war on terror, right?
saddamn was the biggest wmd and terrorist in Iraq. Finally, Iraqis get justice and his supporters here can only dip into the tissue box to wipe away the tears!
I am against death penalty yes, but that is not my point here. The thing is that I dont belive in hell, for Saddam to get punished by being killed he`d have to go to hell. I don`t think death itself can be a penalty. I belive he will have a hell on earth in jail and that it will be a longer and more stringent penalty. I wish the strongest punishment for Saddam.
The Iraqis gets justice and lets not forget the kurd people who saddam committed genocide against. They are quite happy they are not going to be hunt down until they are extinct by saddam anymore. The death sentence is a just punishment to help get rid of evil people like saddam, that is one less evil person in the world.
I found the guardian has an interesting article on the subject: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,1979725,00.html
It is as good as it gets for the most evil and I think of it as more as justice. A punishment can only really be called one if a person learns from it and is given another chance. Why keep him alive, pay for his living expenses, and hold justice away from the Iraqis and the Kurds who wants him dead the most? Now that is wrong. I'm a realist. Saddam is evil, he killed people for fun (some of his own Iraqi natives) and because of their ethnicity (the Kurds). Do the world a favor and get rid of him. The world already have enough evil people in it as it is.
Holy shit GT that is one of the worse propaganda videos I have ever seen, who made it? FOX News? It's nauseous.
This has got to be one of my best ones yet. Think about the name of the song where the lyrics come from.
Yes, AGS, I'm well aware of your resistence to truth. Anything positive is propaganda and any video made on an iMac by young angry white males with low IQs is definitive proof that "the man" is out to get us! Oh, and dat der fox news, and stuff
