Do you realize that there is a one month appeal and if the verdict is upheld, he must be executed within 30 days? Hmmm, that has him gone by January 5th, 2007. Done.

I'm out here in Iraq and trust me... please trust me when i tell you that it's not all the same or to prevent genocide. Keep in mind that most if not all countries were forged by wars. Specially our great U.S. of A. Need less to say that I pray  everyday for myself and my brothers and sisters in arms because Sh!t is going to hit the fan once saddam is executed...Once more this is nothing like Hotel Rwanda, nothing all,

Capital punishment was recentlyreinstated and applies to those convicted of murder, distribution of drugs and endangering national security,  The manner of execution is by hanging.  See Article 12 of Iraqi Law #10.

Ummm... if you've been watching the news he has all ready been prosecuted. He is going to be hung. \n\nShould he be prosecuted for killing 148 people who supposedly tried to assasinate him? I think it depends if the people actually tried to assasinate him.\n\nAnd that is just one of the crimes he has commited. \n\nHow ignorant of people to blame Bush for everything! If you haven't done you're research don't make generalizing comments. Saddam is being judged by an Iraqi Court, not an American one.

Im afraid they can son. And no he cant do anything about it. The law is the law. Not always fair, sometimes harsh but none of us are above it.

The entire world KNOWS what happened and how the U.S. government lied to all it's people and caused all that suffering death to their very own and then to take it over-seas more death.. more death.. more death.. more suffering in Iraq, Afganistan and soon..Iran.\nI truly would be embarassed to have a leader such a Bush or Cheney STILL in power.. They both should be in jail..oops we just lost a few Hundred billion dollars hehe..no biggie..oh..you just lost you right to speak freely..hehe..No biggie\nThe American people seem oblivious to all the lies, the dead, more lies, loss of freedoms..loss of rights....What a pity.

Kicking Saddam Hussein off his "throne", a man who killed the most Muslims since Genghis Khan, a man who killed and overtook and attacked other Muslim countries Iran and Kuwait, sorry there can be no defense of Saddam. Iraq now has a democracy, the people have voted for new leaders a number of times creating a parliament, a Cabinet , and a President. The country and our efforts haven't been perfect, but the country has been brought up from the days of Saddam's sons pulling random women off the streets and raping them at will, shooting and torturing Olympic athletes because they lost, killing Shiites and Kurds with poison gas and slaughter. Unfortunately, Saddam is all most Iraqis know, therefore they may erroneously believe brutality and government go hand- in -hand. Like I said, we haven't been perfect, but generally we have tried to help the Iraqi people, even though many will be happy to see us go, it'll then be up to them to make a functional democracy work. We'll see how many, then say, the Americans pulled out too soon! The day will come when the Americans can't be blamed any more ,then what? It won't be American democracy anymore , but Iraqi, we'll see how well it goes.

Saddam unfortunately gets a death sentence by the great justice of US govn!!! And I confused by the interpretations of some European foreign ministers about this decision. No one told anything against this decision of the US govn in spite of the death sentences being forbidden in European countries!!! I couldnt understand their contradiction.\n\nA.Öcalan? His freedom is one of our EU reforms!!!\n\nSo, US/EU or Türkiye? Who is barbarian?

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.

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.

you answered your own question---the scum will be hanged before he's 70

Political Charade.  Even Saddam admits that he would rather just be executed now than allow Bush to feel that he is just when he eventually orders it.\n\nThe names of the judges are secret.\nThe names of the witnesses are secret.\nThere is NO jury.\n\nAlso, one should be held to a trial that would be expected at the time of the crime was committed.

Oh yes.  Saddam will be hung, and it will be before the spring of 2007.  Its no longer in America's hands.  The Iraqis have spoken up to their years of abuse and genocide, and Saddam will get what he deserves

some people amaze me .Its a long known fact that Saddam only got the power he had by being helped by the US , its also a long known fact that the weapons he had which he used to attack Kuwait and also to kill his own people were sold to him by the US and Europe Its another fact that the nuclear knowledge Iraq had was given by those i`ve already mentioned If the Kurds hadn`t stood up against Saddam which they only did because America gave them the impression they were going to join in and help them (which they had no intention of doing )they wouldn`t have been slaughtered for their punishment  Iraqi`s didn`t ask for their country to be destroyed, news programs on TV have interviewed countless Iraqi`s who say how much worse it is now than with Saddam The threat to America came because of decades of interference in the middle east . According to international law the Iraq invasion is illegal and an act of hostility

I don't support the death penalty. But I've never lived through what the Iraqi people have lived through.\n\nThis is an Iraqi decision to make, and I have no doubt they'll want him dead. Can I really blame these people, who've endured unmentionable cruelty at the hands of Saddam, and now endure such hardship at the hands of both foreign invaders and civil militants, for wanting some type of retribution, some kind of hope? If Saddam's death gives them some hope, then let it be so.

Saddam is a mass murder, kind of exterminated his own people..☺
