No, he is not guilty and he should be put back to sort out the mess.
1) After all the "stories" we were told that he killed thousands, the court only accused him of 140 Kurds and it was in a revolution against him. The Turks killed far more of their own Kurds, but it was hushed up.
2) The court was set up by the foreign victors and the judge was selected from among his Shia enemies by the US. Victors' justice.
3) The invasion of Iraq was illegal and therefore all the deaths were war crimes.
4) The latest and best American study found that the killings by the invaders were over 400,000 !
5) There is more torture and corruption now, under the puppet government, than ever was under Sadam.
6) By Arab standards Sadam was a reasonable president, elected by ballot of the Iraqi people, supervised by the UN. The situation is far worse now, and will be even worse after we leave.
60)The bill so far for the US is $200 billion, compared to the $10 billion we were told originally. The dollar is sinking, we are going bust and we deserve it.
Have a good day |

No, I don't believe in the death penalty. It puts us in the position of deciding something that only God can decide.
Plus, it would be a worse punishment for him to have to live out his life in prison, rather than veing able to 'escape.' |

No!
We would merely be lowering ourselves to his level; that of killer and murderer. |

He deserves it. But if we do not wanna be like him, let's forget about killing him and give him a lifetime term in jail. |
|

|
no. He should be imprisoned for life with no special treatment. |

no , unpopular opinion i know, but only god has the right to take life. he should be locked up for the rest of his life but not killed.
and besides he will suffer much more for years in jail... death may be hard to face but quickly over... then he is free to meet his maker... i would make him wait. |

Nah. Then he gets the easy way out.
A lifetime in prison with no chance of parole, I say. What's more important, that we get emotional gratification from vengeance for 2 minutes, or that he suffer the rest of his life as long as possible? He'll suffer a lot more in prison than dead.
The death penalty is only for us. For him, he gets what we're all gonna get anyway eventually, just a little more dramatically. It's no punishment, in my opinion. |

The question isn't up for discussion anymore. He swings in thirty days. |

did any one ask this question when he had 100s/1000s executed |
|

No! It's not our place to decide who should live and who should die, even though Saadam thought he could. Revenge is a base, animal kind of emotion that we shouldn't aspire to as people.
I'm not calling for mercy, I believe in fair punishment, but life in prison without parole would be appropriate, and more harsh for him. |

No. He should never have been ousted from power by western forces without a UN mandate. Bush and Blair have opened a can of worms this time!!! |
|
^TRZT^
|
Yes.
How many innocent people did he have killed ?
Lets just say he earned it. |

Uh, yeah and he is going to be. |

No he should not be executed. We would only become like Saddam, Judge,Jury and Psychopathic executioner. We are better than that.
The problem is we have no say in the matter, the Iraqi government is calling the shots on those matters. So much for installing a stable democratic government. Killing only brings more killing. No one has the right to execute another human being.
Peace, |

Yes, he killed over 100,000 Kurds, using gas WMD's.
He is a modern day Hitler. |
|

Why is this question filed under Investing? Do you mean to ask, is the execution of Saddam a good investment for Iraq?? |
|
DolceVita

It doesn't really matter if you or I think he should be; he is GOING to be.
Contrary to the opinions of a great many answering your question, Saddam wasn't "Hitler", just a run-of-the-mill dictator. He killed many Kurds because they were his political enemies, and that's what dictators do.
I find it curious that the American people are crying for Saddam's blood when the United States gave safe haven to the ousted (and far more murderous) Shah of Iran. Where was the outrage then? |

Yes. I have a knot-tying handbook from the Navy if they need help with the noose. |

Of course. If we had the chance we would've executed Hitler too. |

It is not a question anymore of should he,he will be. The Iraq court concurred with the death sentence and he may have a noose around his neck already. |

No Why let him be a martyr? Rotting in poverty, in a gaol seems appropriate. His crimes are for ordering the deaths of thousands of Iraqis. There are a couple of other "leaders" who are guilty of exactly that same crime. But will go unpunished. |

I hope this question is in the wrong category. |
