Death or life for Saddam?

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.

This might sound cruel, but if he starves himself to death he's doing the whole world a favor.  \n\nThough they refused to take up the case for Terri Schiavo (who was not guilty of any crime other than being disabled and therefore inconvenient for her two-timing, money grubbing, lame $#s excuse for a husband), I can see the ACLU and various bleeding hearted groups mounting "Save Saddam" campaigns.  I can see it now...Michael Jackson writing a song, "Let's Save Saddam, let's keep him living..."\n\nArrgh!!!!\n\nLet the old buzzard rot.

Undoubtedly, you're going to receive a lot of emotion-packed answers to this question, so let me try to be as dispassionate as possible. I have to admit, I'm torn on the whole permissability of the death penalty; but in this instance I think it has to take place.\n\nThe Shiia and the Kurds require closure on Saddam's era; and so long as Saddam lives he's going to be a lightning rod for every discontented Sunni. Yes, there will be some initial unrest, but in the long-run, I honestly believe it's in the best interests of all three groups if Saddam is taken out of the picture. While he lives, I just don't see how these groups have even the slightest chance of making a go of even attempting to pull together something that looks like a nation.\n\nThere is such a thing as "raisons d'etat;" and for "reasons of state" I believe he has to go.

Saddam will be hanged for murdering 148 people but what about George W. Bush?The death toll of American soldiers in Iraq has reached almost 3000.For what purpose?To free a country that only a dictator could have controlled,look now,Saddam is off power and the people are slaughtering eachother because of ethnic believe.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

If there is a possiblity for this strange thing to happen this will only brings another massacre, Saddam is a dictator, not an ordinary one, he is a murderer.\nHe has used chemical weapon against Iranians and his own people and he has done a massacre against Shiia people.\nMany people has died in his prisons.\nIraqi people really hate him, thats one of the reasons Iraq conquered by US troops easily, do you remember how much resistance done in Tikrit, origin of Saddam? You should know that Tikrit is a small town around Baghdad, imagine if all cities resisted that much.
