Do you know anybody who died in 9/11? If so, what do you think is the best punishment for Saddam Hussein?

Punishment isn't about revenge, jerk-off, it's about Justice.  Go look that one up and come back with some mature questions.  Don't lose your yellow ribbons and Armstrong wristbands on the way, Toy-boy.

Whether or not one is in favour of a death penalty --- and I am not --- looking at this case, one should remember that on 9/11 he was already in federal custody. And there was evidence that the plotters kept him out of the loop because he was so unreliable.\nSo no matter how involved he was in the plot, it would have been bizarre if he became the only person executed for 9/11.  There were others more involved, perhaps some in custody in Guantanamo Bay (?).\nAnd I agree with kendra's sentiment that death might have been what he wanted so it's beter for him just to rot in a maximum security prison.

Saddam Hussein did some terrible things, but I don't support the death penalty under any circumstances.  Let's not forget that the U.S. government was friendly with him up until the day he invaded Kuwait.  Furthermore, he is to be hanged, which is rather draconian.

So Saddam tortured people and now it's right for us to do it?\n\nAmerica lost her moral high-ground in the eyes of the world and it isn't about the gay marriage issue.  Get this through your head...WE ARE TORTURING PEOPLE BY POLICY.  It wasn't a pair of PFC nit-wits at Abu Ghraib, it was POLICY.  90 suspects have died in US detention due to interrogation "techniques".  The House Majority leader said it was "A-OK to crush a child's testicles to prevent terror attacks."\n\nThen we have the Sergeant Major of SOCOM (Special Forces) testifying before Congress saying that torture has NEVER in his long experience gained any useful information.  Suspects will lie and say anything people want to hear to get it to end, or they will bite their lip until they die.  Good enough for me, let's please END THIS BLIGHT ON OUR REPUBLIC.

NO I AGREE WITH THE ASKER, WE SHOULD LET HIM BE FREE.\nAMONG ALL HIS VICTIMS, FAMILIES, UNARMED AND UNPROTECTED AS WERE HIS VICTIMS. YES FREE THE IRAQI 1, AND WE WILL SEE HOW LONG HE LASTS.

I could care less if you overlook my reply and do not count me (ohhhh, I am so scared!). If you do not want replies from this site then post on the middle east version of this site.\n\nFirst off, could you please spell that person's name correctly. It is SADDAM HUSSEIN, not Saddan. Duh!\n\nHe was found guilty of crimes by his countrymen, in an Iraqi court of law.\n\nHang 'em and hang 'em high!

No, I think he should be put in prison for the rest of his life.  Maximum security would be the worst punishment for him - worst than the death penalty.

No. It is Al Qaida which was fuelling Saddam's hatred against the USA. His death will not deter them as they are a Jehadi suicidal group. Their total annihilation should be at the top of the agenda for war against global terrorism. His death might herald democracy and 'Limited government' under a lasting Constitution towards which the progressive Muslims should strive.

Personally I would agree, we're just giving the old fool precisely what he wants anyway (he does want death but by firing squad, not hanging).\n\nI would prefer that they sentence him to life in Abu Gharaib or permanent confinement in a spider hole, anything that will make him beg for a death that will never come.\n\nBut in the final analysis, we do not have that power. Only those judges or the Iraqi people can really decide what to do with him (and for the most part they want him dead).

I think that it is about time we put this murderer out of commission.  \n\nReichman2007, you feel sad for all of us?  Why?  Because we are pleased to know that one less heartless murderer is no longer a threat to the innocent, peace loving, men, women and children that he has PERSONALLY murdered or decapitated over the years?  Including (more likely than not) your fellow country men!   Ideally, peace and love would fill the entire world.  But it doesn't.  That is not my choice, as I am sure it is not yours either.  So what would you rather us do?  Allow him to kill, behead, rape and torture?  There will never be 100% acceptance behind any killing, of any sort.  And personally I believe that is a good thing....I may not agree with your position, but you are helping me see the other side.\n\nFor me, I am pleased that former terrorist is no longer with us.  Fear gives terrorists "super-human-like" power and today, the troops of the U.S.A. and collation countries, showed the world terrorists are mere mortals.  He was a man, an evil man and  that is it!

do you think BinLaden is alive? Do you believe in the existance of AlQaada? and moreover do u think that BinLaden did the 11-9 attacks alone with no inside player?!! Who killed JFK? Did Holucost happen? Did Iraq own Nuclear weapons? Who killed Harere in Lebanon? Did Arafat died or poisened? .. if you can answer these qutions then you can answer yours.. History is the distorted virsion of reality.. "The winner has the right to say whatever he wants"Hitler said ;O)

No one is better under a murderous tyrant. Saddam and his sons enjoyed torturing people. \nThey killed tens of thousands.  \n\nIraq is in turmoil.  Saddam's supporters and Shia factions are causing a huge amount of unrest. Then there are the foreign influences,  There is to be a verdict in Saddam's trial for killing the Kurds in the next 24 hours.\nAl Sadr's militia is torturing and killing Sunni's in Baghdad to try to spark civil war.   \n\nMany Iraqis are better off.  The "Marsh Muslims" in the southern part of the country were being killed off wholesale and an ancient way of life was being exterminated.  People near the Syrian border are fine too, and the Kurds,who have suffered grievously are truly happy in Iraq now, after being exterminated in Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. \n\nNothing is all good or all bad. Our country has to keep foremost in mind what we are there for.\nThe entire mid East waits to see what will come.\n\nThe Hezbollah are trying to topple the elected government of Lebanon, funded and armed by Iran and Syria.\n\nPlease keep in mind that Iraq is on one side of Iran and Afghanistan is on the other.  Unless you look forward to real WW III against Muslims led by Iran, you'd better hope that Iraq stabilizes under its new government.

My opinion hasn't changed.. I still believe they were responsible for 9-11 and they lied to get us into this war, but I don't believe in the death penalty and I don't believe in revenge.. A nice prison cell to protect society from anyone who kills is fine with me, and if it's someone lies to one person or a whole nation, causing them to kill someone, they should get life in prison just like any other murderer.

I agree.  Now that he's dead, their will also be a power struggle inside Iraq's branch of al-Qaeda.  I'm glad he's dead, but it can only get worse.

What is worse: 3000 dead from 911 or 120,000 in Iraq.? \nDo you think the invasion of Iraq is justified?\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\nNo body to die for a lie. The correct number of people who died in Twin Towers was 1820 of whom 2/3 were not native American and none Jewish ( all Jew were off sick ).\n\nThe correct number of people died in Iraq is 186.000 till yesterday ( this is the government's official number, the true number is very likely to be double ). & 2.823 American soldiers.

You cannot take dead men to trial. Plenty of others have been tried and taken in for other terrorist threats, but their was no conclusive evidence that linked them to  911. The rest of the men that we know for sure were involved, are dead.
