Hanging...could there be a worse way to die?



Yes,i am sure the way Saddham Hussains vitims 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."



quite true!

he wouldnt be executed if there were not the CP in iraq.
i remember iraqies protesting against handing him over to the international court in haggue. they decided to judge him according to their own laws. what can be said? all the muslim countries have CP.
strangely he was accused only for 147 people's death, while he and his family murdered many. its obvious that he couldnt be accused for the death of 300 000 kurds for the sake of the rest iraqies (political correctness).
cheers

Whether we like it or not Saddam has been hung and people have been before and probably though unfortunatly will be in the future.

No one can overide what should happen because there is always more than one side to it and unfortunatly the people are not heard of what they think. For i.e. yes many Iraqi's are happy that Saddam is dead because of what he did, but many are also unhappyh because of the fear of what it will do to their country.

As for my opinion I am not sure because I also have these opinions in my head. But enough about Saddam, there have been many people executed before and in one case i know about a man being proven innocent after he was hung. I am not saying Saddam was innocent but I am merely pointing out another reason why we should question hanging people in general.

I don't think anyone is doubting his guilt. I just hate the hypocrisy. It has been said many times on this thread, but I repeat again that the US were happy to finance and support Saddam when it suited them, and then after 9/11 it suited them to invade Iraq, whilst declaring a "War on Terrorism" - what did Iraq have to do with 9/11?

How can we support this kind of action?

In addition,capital punishment is banned in the EU and we should not support this action.

Do not support it... fight it. Stand up for your beliefs encourage troops to face the consequence of going AWOL... after all 3 years in prison is NOT a far worse punishment that watching people die, and dying yourself. I don't think there is to many people that do support it. I have only one group of people that I believe should get the death penalty and i will not say what league of people I would subject to that punishment (don't want to start something else here). My point is no one can hear us here but the others on this website here.... RAISE YOUR VOICE to your government and anyone who will listen!

I agree. Shame too since throughout history great strides have been made by people joining togther to inflict change, it's a real shame that "togetherness" seems to be only a part of history as well

Were you talking metophorically or literally? ! Well (literally) I think its too late to stop any ice melting . The more it melts, the more it releases more nasty gases and thus speeds up the greenhouse effect. Its the same with the perma frost in Siberia - it is just soggy mud now and also releasing poisons. This is without even considering that a new coal power station is being built in China EVERY MONTH on average. Its just too late .

Anyway, don't get me started - back to topic
