Indeed, I wonder how long he'd last on the streets of Baghdad! I think one would have to be extremely politically correct to worry whether or not Saddam's getting a fair trial... Sad though it is - and a noble experiment - Bush's plan to bring democracy to Iraq has predictably turned to crap; give them democracy and they'll elect an autocratic cleric or madman. The Middle East typically produces characters like Saddam, essentially because that's what it wants. You can't educate people who are stuck in the Dark Ages.

Yes absolutely, he ordered hundreds of thousands of Kurds to be gassed to death. He was sadisitic and had two awful sons who would rape and torture at will. My only concern is that hanging Saddam will just inflame the situation in Iraq as it will make him a martyr and will annoy his followers

though there is no iota of doubt regarding Saddam suppressed and massacred shies, his trial has not been conducted in accordance with principles of natural justice as defense witnesses were beaten up lawyers died under mysterious circumstances. another thing is whether he be given death punishment or life imprisonment that is to be decided by the Iraqis only. the us has no role to play in awarding punishment to other heads of countries. if that is the case what sort of punishment is to be given to bush for the death of countless innocent Iraqis by invading that country with a false charge that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. in this regard we are to learn from the Nepalis  who dethroned their autocratic king without interference of external forces

If this had been well thought out, Saddam would not be executed for a long time, certainly not until after our troops are out of harms way. The Sunnis will not look kindly on the fact that Papa Bush set up Saddam, sold him the weapons, trained his intelligence forces, and gave him the green light. Now Bush Jr. has not only removed Saddam, but all his followers as well, who are now in control of Western Iraq. To execute Saddam with our troops still there will only lead to more deaths for our valiant troops, and do no good for the State of Iraq. More death and destruction provided by Bush's plan, and as usual, our troops will bear the brunt of the violence. \n\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061105/ap_o...

Well...I would like to say definitely YES. But then again, as for the public policy (in which here I refer to the interest of the whole citizens of the world) I must say No. Why? Well, the death of Saddam surely will ignite another fire of chaos in our neverending war-world. In short, the death penalty that being put upon him surely will be the beginning of a new seed of destruction. I'll make it clear here...the 'killing' of Saddam as we all thought as some sort of punishment for him for what he had done as well as for justice for those who had been affected by his violent acts is in fact not the last of terror, war or chaos in our world! It will only be the beginning of a more chaotic world!!!\nTherefore, I think sentencing him to prison for life will be much better for the good and interest of everyone around the world. Saddam is merely a human like us. The only matter that differentiate him from us is on what he WAS then and Is now. But this is not enough to justify him to be sentenced to death. Thus, I am on the opinion that we all need to think back. Appeal of Saddam's trial MUST be done. It is the only chance for us to ponder back the coming-mistake that the whole community of man is about to commit!!!

To be honest I think its a Catch 22 situation.  You let him live and one group of people will be annoyed and rebel, you kill him and a different bunch of people are annoyed and rebel.  So no matter what happens there is going to be violence and terrorism in my opinion.  So what should be done?  Who knows, Saddam has been tried and found guilty of mass murder, he should be punished and in the eyes of Iraqi law that means death by hanging.  All we can do is obey the law.

what an unfair world! i support saddam's sentence but you ar so right, if his iraqis supporters are punished so should his US supporters who helped hide his crimes until they parted ways!

O! c'mon guys! We are talking abt a human here .I dont have any sympathy with Saddam whatsoever. But he is a human being, or at least we should remember that we are. so let just say that he should be punished for his deeds but that's not for us to decide.

It will have little effect on the state of Iraq. Yes, he was a killer and he is gone for good. However, so was Saddam and when they caught him, they trumpeted his capture as a turning point. However nothing changed afterward. Iraq will still remain a hell-hole.

Those people are nut's ,,give them nuke's they send people to suicide bomb in Tel Aviv what the hell are they gonna do with a nuke weapon\n\nand just so you know ,when Bush was waiting for sanction's to work Saddam just moved the WMD to Syria. they had a illegal pipeline to them all during the sanction's.\n\nIran should never be allowed nuke's\nthey are a murderous regime run by a theocracy.they probably write Allah Akbar on the missile they send into isreal.

DID it happen yet?????? \n\nI usually think death is the easy out of a punishment... i mean he should spend time in jail in the US where no one can touch him..... \n\nbut if hes staying in iraq in jail..... That govermnet is kinda unstable.. and anything were to happen to it, like it be overthrown they might just let sadaam loose and be their leader again.....so if he can't serve his term in the US, then yes i think his death is the best for everyone.

I like your line of thinking but I don't know who your talking about.\nIf your talking about saddam... I'd like to see him suffer a little before his death.\nIf your talking about a child molester your death sentence will fit them justly.\nGruesome executions like that may act as a deterrent for criminals. Lord knows jail doesn't scare them any longer. The hardened criminals are fighting to get back behind bars in the U.S.

Of course...nothing new for Israel...\nSo many times Israel got away with murder because US has vetoed every single sanctions against it...So it is because of the support of US and the silence of UN...This is their idea of justice...\nWhile Israel's crimes are called "self defense",the Palestinians fighting for liberty will be called "terrorists"...because they don't have the full support of the most powerful country in the world:USA...\nNo one will ever accuse Israel of deliberately killing civilians.even if they do... Actually the excuse was "technical error".but of course Mr Olmert already told us that those kinds of errors "may happen " in the future...

Sharon is (was) a war criminal. Modern terrorism (blowing up innocent people to get what you want) was invented by the Israelis. In 1946, while Palestine was being administered by Great Britain, Menachem Begin authorized the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing around 100 people, including many British soldiers who were staying there.\n\nIt is true that many in the Middle East want the destruction of Israel. However, it is equally true that Israel wants to kill every Palestinian on the planet. Israel cares only about itself and is certainly no friend of the United States. \n\nInterestingly, the only country on earth that stood to benefit from the US invasion of Iraq is Israel. Political instability in the region is to there advantage – not that they need an advantage, since Israel can simultaneously defeat the combined militaries of every country in the region. Israel is no victim and is as responsible as anyone for the continuing problems in the region.

Saddam is destined to the gallows.

Umm...Saddam did some really bad things during his reign as ruler of Iraq. Whether Bush is a criminal or not will be determined by history.
