Who wants saddam hussein to have the death sentence?

He already was given the death sentence, and Baghad was under a two or three day curfew to prevent killings and riots before the US elections

Of course he should be executed.  Swiftly and publically. I don't buy into all that garbage about keeping him alive so he has to "live with what he's done" for the rest of his life. \n\nThat beast has no conscience. Kill him and be done with it.

A totally different topic. Saddam was sentenced to death because of crimes against humanity (if you believe that). In other countries, you may not agree with a head of state, but the underlying problems are greater than any one person can tackle.

They have not released nearly enough of the information about what goes on there to make a reasonable assessment of either side's case.\n\nThe court system is not similar to the US's system.  The lawyers and judges are primarily French-schooled and Iraqi law is modeled after France's system.  They do not have the same burden of proof to meet hat the US has.\n\nAnd capital punishment is revenge.  That is the only purpose behind it, capital punishment does not serve as a deterrent, and the victim is not likely to learn anything from it.  Capital punishment is pure revenge, plain and simple.  So by executing Saddam revenge would be the only reason and only result.

I'm glad he didn't get the death penalty. It is ultimately what he would want. A chance to be martyred buy the American war machine. I hope he rots.

Whoever he is deserves death...

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.

Certainly. It is divine justice that the innocent Shiaite Muslims who were massacred by the men of Saddam at his dictate will get solace and peace for the expiation that Saddam Hussein will at the end be hanged for the many crimes he has committed against humanity.

I think we should let him free!  Just drop him off in the northern Iraq area where all the Kurds are.  Make sure the families of all the people he gassed are there and give them weapons.  Then just drop off Saddam with nothing but the clothes on his back.  They would certainly take care of him.

And I guess you interpreted that as Middle east style execution!!! In my mind the generalization you show in your question proves that you can be unfair to other people. A rapist deserves to be executed in the worst style, but that does not mean that all Middle Eastern people and countries apply the same method.\nAre you trying to prove how savage Middle Eastern people are? well, generalizing the brutality of one incident on all members of a group is not really a convincing way.\nAnd although I do not get what Saddam has to do with the above incident since he was jailed while this incident happened and he could not have possibly ordered it. I believe he deserves to die for killing so many people unfairly, but I also believe there should be a stop to the Iraqi and American killing out there... too many lives lost, and most of them guiltless.

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

Okay then, it's fairly obvious where you stand.\n\nI agree in principle with this statement:\n"This is the least Saddam deserved," \n\nThough I do not like hanging as a method of execution.

Because every man is entitled to a fair trial. Although I think Saddam's chips are down, as the death penalty has been requested for him in the Iraq Courts...\n\nHe will get his, don't worry and it will be justice indeed because his own countrymen will be killing him...

Well I know that a lot of people would like to see him executed... \n But I say to let him rot in jail or take his own life. Killing him is to step down to his level. I'd like to think I can live my life and leave this world a forgiving person Free of bloodstains on my hands and far far above the likes of the Saddam.

I don't care what Charlie Sheen says.  I'm typically against the death penalty, but Moussaoui is the worst kind of scum.  He's a coward who couldn't follow through with a cowardly act.  He's inhuman and deserves to die.  He could have stopped the whole thing, but he chose to keep quiet and helped murder 3000 people.  Not only should we kill him, we need to make it brutal to set an example.

No what he does is not right..he should be labled a criminal and should be thrown in jail. The pain and suffering caused by Bush, all the death brought on by all his lies is horrendous...He is a very evil man and should be on trial right now just like Saddam!!!
