Bad decision!
It will just cause one civil ward of huge proportions...
and I am against capital punishment, no matter which person we are talking about !
Hanging...could there be a worse way to die?

As I see it, you can't compare suicide bombers to ordinary people who like to keep the traditions straight.


why not? the bombers also do it out of religious feelings, for allah, to please allah, and in many muslim countries they become heros, martyrs. religious groups within islam do fight against each other and do blow up mosques even in the most important day.
but when dear uncle saddam (seemingly by americans) is executed it is a great insult for all muslims?! very nice!



Well the main reason is that anyone who would even considder eg. suicide bombing is mentally ill, probably a psychopath.

Well apparantly he died almost instantly so it wasn't the worst you could have got, but I agree it will cause so much trouble, infact it already is there were at least 77 deaths from four car bombings in Iraq by those who supported and wanted revenge for Saddam Hussein's hanging today.

personally i would have rather watch him rot behind bars the rest of his days...no punishment if he felt no pain..slightly mentally disturbing i know

however it would not be safe for him or the people living there for him to be kept under high security.....think.....he is a rich man and still has many followers that were working with him, it wouldn't be long until he would have people attemting to set him free. i am not saying this choice was the best but u got to think of it from both sides and what is right for the people living there. as kai said...there have already been car and bus bombings, which i think may have been his peoples attempts to prevent the hanging......i'll shut up now hehe

i am not saying that i agree with this penalty but what else could they do?? i don’t think there government could run the risk of such an escape.....again as i said, i do not entirely agree with the law, but to 'let him rot in prison' still costs the people...i know that in my country our tax's pay for prisons and the people within. Would you like your money going towards him? i know i wouldn’t....especially with the risk of him able to escape.

Yes,i am sure the way Saddham Hussain.s victims were treated and then killed was by far worse.Hanging breaks the neck and death is instantaneous.

If anyone has every read Albert Pierapoint's autobiography (he was the offical hang man for england).He wrote in his book that hanging does not deter crime.But i go believe that sometimes the death penalty is needed.The Bible says" an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth."
