Head Honcho Posted 26 December 2006 Posted 26 December 2006 I can't help thinking he could be of better use trying to bring peace to the area. He should still have the death sentence hanging over him and any warmongering on his part should see the sentence commuted but the situation out there is way out of control and I'm sure a deal could be made to try and bring some kind of normality to the region.
Webbo Posted 26 December 2006 Posted 26 December 2006 i'm not normally in favour of hanging , but while he's alive he'll be a focus for insurgents. the sooner he's dead the better.
JoeyB Posted 26 December 2006 Posted 26 December 2006 tickle him to death with huge feather make him laugh himself to death
Wils Posted 26 December 2006 Posted 26 December 2006 He doesnt deserve to be alive for all the stuf he has done.

I overindulged in alcohol over the holidays too, Allen.
Manwell Pablo Posted 26 December 2006 Posted 26 December 2006 I overindulged in alcohol over the holidays too, Allen. Well the people who follow him are responsible for the deaths of a thousand plus English and American soilders, so I'm guessing that would make him your hero.

Saddam doesn't have the monopoly on genocide! There are dictators still running their respective countries who have committed crimes against their own people just as bad as Saddam ever did and they aren't half as hard to catch as he was! There is no excuse for what Saddam did but executing him will serve no purpose other then revenge I do think he could be the answer to if not peace then some sort of normality to the region.
Cat Burger Posted 26 December 2006 Posted 26 December 2006 I think he should live, mainly for that comment he made about the boy eating his cornflakes.

You've missed my point completley, which is to be expected as it wasn't intended for you
Dr The Singh Posted 27 December 2006 Posted 27 December 2006 I don't think saddams hanging will make any difference in gaining peace, but I can't see him being alive making any difference either!! I agree with Allens point on dictators but I will also add there are so called democratice governments that have also caused and are causing as much death as Saddam has, one namely hindustan!!!
Lemon Harpic Posted 27 December 2006 Posted 27 December 2006 Well the people who follow him are responsible for the deaths of a thousand plus English and American soilders, so I'm guessing that would make him your hero. Guess again. The people who bravely stand up to the murderous American and British thugs illegally and immorally invading their country are heroes. Some fat US-installed willy puller who orders the deaths of innocent civilians from the opulence of his palace is, of course, my enemy.

Modern Russia and Eastern Europe also need some stability. Ethnic tensions, terrorism, organised crime and neo-Nazi thugs are all running riot in the Eastern Bloc. Perhaps we should bring Stalin back from the dead to deal with it? Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Joe. Posted 27 December 2006 Posted 27 December 2006 I would rather he suffered for the whole of his life in a 6x6 cell with little light and excercise time.
Brummie-FOX Posted 27 December 2006 Posted 27 December 2006 Thing is when Saddam was in charge, there was less crime in Iraq. Look at the place now. Don't hang him, if he needs to die, chuck him in a small room for the rest of his life with no door, no window, food or water, nothing but a small and smelly bed with his razor, and let him live a long and painful death.
Thracian Posted 27 December 2006 Posted 27 December 2006 I think the law dictates that he be executed. It would not be my choice. To me it is fundamentally un-Christian to kill and situations like this only test whether you have real belief or merely adjust your thinking according to what is convenient. I might like to simply drop him off somewhere - like in the middle of the Altantic Ocean in a rowing boat - and trust his fate to the God he supposedly believes in. Or, more likely, and at his own expense, I would make him work without speech or hope of release 12 hours of each day for the good of humanity - such work being rewarded with no more nor less than his proper sutainance for the day.
lcfc_jme Posted 28 December 2006 Posted 28 December 2006 The question has no place anymore. He will hang and that is for certain. His appeal was waved away and he is scheduled to die within 30 days. Unfortunate really as I'd have let him rot away in a jail somewhere. He's getting the easier way out methinks.
Webbo Posted 28 December 2006 Posted 28 December 2006 lets face it, as soon as the yanks pull out there's going to be a civil war. What would happen if saddam's sympathisers captured the jail and let him out? the deaths of thousands would be for nothing.
Brummie-FOX Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 Just heard that his execution will be filmed. Any truth?
Jay Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 Just heard that his execution will be filmed. Any truth? they will need to film it/ take photos to prove that it has been done you can almost see the front page of the sun now... Death of a Tyrant with a picture of him hanging!!
Webbo Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 Just heard that his execution will be filmed. Any truth? that's what it said on the news. doesn't mean we'll be shown it.
Guest Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 More harm will come from this than good. I personally would make him pay for his crimes, death is easy in that respect, and he will become a martyr to his supporters.

S'right...as anyone who has seen Star Wars or Lord of the Rings could tell you.
