More violation. There are supporters of good as well as bad people.

Yeah it has. If anything good came out of the disaster of Iraq it is that Saddam will face the ultimate in justice. \n\n300,000 dead victims of Saddam over 20+ years. WOW that is a horrendous figure of carnage. Saddam deserves his fate completely and totally.\n\nWith over 500,000 dead in the last three years due to the invasion and occupation of Iraq, Do you think that the hangman could do a 3 for 1 deal? Saddam, Bush and Blair?\n\nDare to dream

I think there will be no effect on him, but it definitely speaks to his character. That won't matter though. He's too talented. \n\nUSC will be punished and rightfully so. It's too early to say whether they knew about it or not. If they didn't, it's a shame that he has done this to them.

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.

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

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...

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.

Getting the verdict on Saddam shows progress in Iraq, a victory talking point. The trouble is Iraqi violence may acutally be up now because Iraqis believe they can influence US elections. Add that to the verdict, and you have quite an incendiary mix. In other words, annoucing the verdict now will likely lead to more deaths in Iraq than announcing it next week would. But announcing the verdict now probably will get the Republicans more votes, which is all that matters of course.

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

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.

Yes, he should.\nBut it would have been better if he had pulled a Hitler and killed himself so no one would have to execute him.\n\nAs for Michael K's remarks, they predicted the same thing before Hussein was found guilty, and they were wrong.

the violence will increase of course. violence only breeds more violence.  and it doesn't matter that they killed him and 7 aids of his b/c those terrorists are very dispensable. they've already replaced him i'm sure.

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.
