I wish they were posion gasing him to death instead of the rope.  He'd be getting a taste of his own medicine.

No one (OK only a very few people) can take an apologist stand for this man, he was a street thug who rose to power and, like so many before him, abused that power to retain it.  There are no mitigating factors here and, although I view everything I hear from Iraq with a huge amount of cynicism, I do not doubt his guilt.\n\nThere are two things that bother me however the first is my general opposition to the death penalty, I see the need for retribution in some cases but I fail to see how this is achieved by multiplying the number of coffins involved.  The second thing is that we, and by that I describe both the USA and the UK, promoted and supported this man for years, we nearly wet ourselves with joy when he began to make war on Iran where he did incalculable damage and wrought havoc while we capered gleefully at his behaviour.\n\nWe encouraged him in what he became and are, to a degree, culpable in his maintenance of power and I just find it distasteful that we should all be so pleased at the prospect of another death.

I doubt it was hard to find many people to celebrate the sentencing. I just hope they put the hanging on live international TV, or, heck even pay-per-view. I'll shell out bucks for that. The death of that mass murderer will be a joyous day for the world.

I have a feeling your going to get a lot of yes'...I actually had the same thought when I heard the verdict on Saddam...

Personally I really don't care what happens to Saddam.. he was a horrible man that did horrible things to the people of his country and hopefully with our help they can step in and make their country better... The only person however that I care about is Bin Laden and his followers...

Hey!! Been waiting for you to get on!! I just sent you an email, so when you get it reply because it has some questions in it!! I have played tennis all day, and I am sooo sore!! Is your cast still annoying you? I bet it is. I had tons of homework to do last night,and luckily I got it all done. Hey, I will ask some Rory questions for you!! Check out some of my Jodie questions!! As an answer to your question, I would say that Pres. Bush should keep Saddam in jail as long as he can. I wouldn't sentence him to death. I would torture him like he did others. Hey, what goes around comes around, and he deserves it. Karma comes back around, and he had it coming!! Hope that answers your question!! \nWuv ya Andy!!

I'm still waiting for the big surprise from Bush & Co.   It could just be another episode of "Hanging Chads" but I have the feeling something bad is about to happen.  Re[publicans have served us "the big lie"  and the mindless have fallen hook, line, and sinker for it.

Yes. Because he was ratted out by one of his own. And more and more, the Iraqi people are informing on the bloody terrorist insurgents. Iraq has taken another huge step towards being rid of these scum.\n\nGod bless our troops and all those who fight for Iraqi freedom and liberty.

The trial is the way to go. I know it is a pain to watch this thing drag out. We've got to give the Iraqi people a chance to develop their democracy. This is a great exercise in controlling impulses to just kill someone with out a trial. The people of Iraq need this to know that if the worst among has been treated fairly then if they go to court they will also be treated fairly.\n\nIt sure would have been great to kill him in the short run, but in the long term success of Iraq as a free nation this is the way it has to happen.

The Americans have been gunning for his death all along, and\nwill defiantly impress upon the tribunal to give the Death penalty.\n\nBut you must also know, that even today Saddam is a feared and respected man by many in Iraq.The outcome will not be settled so fast. Did you see the Glaring eyes & stance when in court he recently told the judge"I am the ruler of Iraq and who are you, a foreigner trying to pass judgement on me?"\n\nThe recent spate of bombings in Iraq between the Shias and Sunnis is directly connected with Saddams case. Which country\nwould ever allow a foreign country to set up courts?\n\nNo. The chair will probably decay &break, and the switches/\nwires will rust or melt away.And dont suggest a rope, because there is no such strong rope exists in the World to snap such a\nstrong throat.

when i saw this question i had to laugh. i expected it to be something like "oh, poor saddam, why dont we just give him life in prison?" \n\nI propose we force him to live with michael jackson for the rest of his life. Not even death is scarier

We havent heard much because nothing much is happening.  Saddam has no real defense, and he's still yelling about the court not having the autority to try him,  yada yada.  \n\nI hope deh fry da sucka

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.

His reign of terror is finally over, but at least he has been put to death, which is almost too good for him, his victims were tortured first usually, then death if they were lucky. Its' his countries way of dealing with people like him, so hang he must. I say one less madman in the world.Just my humble opinion.
