how should Saddam Hussein be killed?

In a very slow way, the longer the better. I rule out firing squad, it's bloody quick, that's why he wants it. If he hangs, he will suffer for a few seconds or even one minute or so.\n\nWhen someone dies, he/she never dies all of a sudden, it takes some time.\n\nTo answer you: just put him in a torture pit, dismember him slowly till he passes away with loss of blood.\n\nOh, just for curiosity, I heard that dying by being drown is a good death, I wonder why, trying to breath and water filling my lungs, not.

i think he should have just been kept alive n let 2 rot in jail so his conscious would prick him (if he ever had one)\n\nbut i think its necessary to kill bush right away the longer he lives the longer we all suffer

Saddam Hussein successfully kept a lid on the Shia/Sunni schism, but we've upset the apple cart.  Not too long ago, the warmongers used to shut people up by asking, "Do you think the Iraqi people were better off under Saddam Hussein?"  Now the answer is clear.  YES THEY WERE!  More are dying now that he ever purged, and there's chaos.

I has killed thousands of Kurds with chemical weapons, this ammounts to genocide.  In interogations of the alleged assassination attempt, 50 people died, mostly children.  Under his regime, a pregnant woman was hanged.  Fingernails being pulled out and drill bits through the shins were used as forms of torture and interogation.  He would make the families of the executed pay for the bullets used to kill them.  No one should stand up for this man.  He is along the lines of Hitler.

Gee....could it have been Saddam Hussein?  He did kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and openly threaten both the United States and Israel.  How can you blame George Bush for starting the war?  I mean, can you blame the cop for arresting a murderer?  Nope, you blame the murderer!

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

this war and Saddam was not worth one penny or one life.if you think about it,Saddam got rid of all his weapons and was complying with all the U.N. sanctions therefore he should have never been attacked.Bush stated he didn't care what the inspectors said he knew there were weapons and would attack any way.2 years later he admitted he was wrong because he was given bad intelligence.so he should be tried for war crimes.too many people have died because of his bad intelligence.

I think we should let the animal starve to death! Better yet,Tie his hands behind his back and throw him out on the streets of Iraq and let the people give him his DUE JUSTICE!

Kill them. Burn the bodies.

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.

This strikes me as a very misguided question.  Fewer people are killed today in Iraq than there were during Saddam's reign of terror.  His citizens no longer live in fear of him using chemical weapons against them and for the first time ever they were allowed to select a government.  Iraq is certainly not a safe place but calling the situation a mess is just not accurate.

Personally I would agree, we're just giving the old fool precisely what he wants anyway (he does want death but by firing squad, not hanging).\n\nI would prefer that they sentence him to life in Abu Gharaib or permanent confinement in a spider hole, anything that will make him beg for a death that will never come.\n\nBut in the final analysis, we do not have that power. Only those judges or the Iraqi people can really decide what to do with him (and for the most part they want him dead).

The appeals process is quite limited in Iraq and will be gone through rather quickly.  Then the verdict and sentence must be approved by the Iraqi president (and two others, I think).  The approval probably will not take long either.  While there is another Saddam trial going on, he could be executed before its completion.  My feeling is that all trials on all charges should be completed before he is executed so that there will be documentation of all his acts before he dies.
