Post in this thread if you think the Saddam hanging was wrong.
 

I'm compiling a list of the next batch who needs to swing.


:)

It was wrong. they should have done it in public and then let the people have their way with him.

I favored impalement.

To be honest I think Bush and all his buddies need to be hung to. All of them.

High Em High!

Locked away for life with no parole yes, murder no. It was a violation of the Geneva Convention, a war crime. So put me on your list.

Since he wore a uniform he should have been shot by firing squad.

You have NO idea what you're talking about.

:2 cents:

At least his family is set.... can't wait for the new A&E show Growing Up Hussein.

I think the way it was done was wrong. I don't give two shits if they hang the guy, but it really seem he didn't get a fair trial.

Feel free to enlighten me.

i agree but think of how many crazies would be trying to release him. too many variables that they couldn't control. Thats why they did it at a random time too

Yea, his sons are having a great time, :Oh crap :1orglaugh

The US just made him a martyr. That's not good for many reasons.

personally think it should have been slower and much more painful ... skinned alive and then thrown into a giant thorn bush only to crawl out into some kind of acid bath ..and then slowly beat to death by the children of some of the people he was responsible for their deaths .. but that's just my opinion ..

I honestly am not sure how I feel about him being hung. I am not sorry he is dead but I am generally against the death penalty and I would like to feel we were above him not doing the same things he did. However, what I do know I think is wrong is the way in which all these people, on gfy and in real life, are chomping at the bit to see the death...just feels dirty and barbaric for a society that claims to be mature.

Are you strong enough to do all that execution personally? Or it's just a blather of infantile schoolboy who saw a "real death" in Counter Strike only?

It was as wrong as flying a plane into a couple of your towers.

Not saying I am a cold blooded killer with no remorse..I am a 39 year old man level 3 first aid .. grown up on the wrong side of town .. who has seen death many times from many different ways but in this situation I would absolutely have not one issue with looking him in the eyes and smiling as I pulled the lever.. switch .. trigger ...unsheathed the knife or what ever other method it would take to put this man away slowly and painfully ... no question about it at all ..same goes for pedophiles ..line them up ..

How many things in your life r wrong? Get off your high horse you parasite. Harm minimisation was the aim of the game! Get a fucking life!!!!!

Ok dipshit.


First, he was neither tried nor executed by any "party to a conflict". He was tried and executed by the new Iraqi Government. So thus, not a "war crime" by any stretch of the imagination.

Second, even if he was subject to the Geneva Convention rules governing treatment of Prisoners of War (which he wasn't since he was not a POW); executions ARE allowed per those rules.

He was tried by the Iraqi Government, convicted, sentenced to death as per Iraqi law and executed.

Stop running your fucking mouth about the Geneva Convention, which you know NOTHING about.




Lol @ you calling it a war crime.



IDIOT.

to bad he died right away, would be cool to see him hung twice

Totally Agree:thumbsup

He should have gotten a fair trial and more than one conviction (for like the most evil thing he ever did). He should not have gotten deadth penalty, I'm against that to begin with but with hanging sadam they made another hero for the fundamentalist idiots in this world.

it will make no difference and its not going to stop the fighting.

Why was it a US-backed special tribunal, instead of a trial by the International Criminal Court held in The Hague Netherlands? He was captured during war time.

The Iraqi Special Tribunal and its legal process did not meet international standards for a fair trial according to the UN. and other human rights groups.

Don't take this the wrong way Jim. I agree with you that Saddam should have been tried for war crimes and humanitarian violations - nobody is arguing about that.

The fairness of this kangaroo court operation and the severity of punishment is the question.

[SARCASM]
no-no-no the Iraqi people/elected governement,legal system did.
[/SARCASM]
a matyr died on an islamic holiday... watch out for many bloody birthdays of the event.

The Geneva Convention doesn't even apply here. He was charged and found guiilty of crimes against his own countrymen, not crimes on a foreign land involving citizens of other nations.

However, if you wish, we can surely revisit Iraq's actions in Kuwait.

Nuff said.

He also received the "Key to Detroit" ... I'm sure that helped solidify his death sentence.

an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

He may have been tried in absentia for Kuwait. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Saddam_Hussein

Nobody is saying he didn't commit crimes against humanity and deserve a punishment. He most certainly did. My point is the trial was not fair by international standards, human rights standards or U.S. Standards for that matter.

A war crime by definition can comprise such acts as mistreatment of prisoners of war or depriving a prisoner of war of a fair trial.

they should have hung him by the balls

I do not believe in taking another human beings life, so I think it was wrong. Furthermore I do not see how it will help at all, all I see is it will help those who ‘idolized’ him and create more destruction and instability.

Hahahaha good one :1orglaugh

Where have you been man?

it was wrong!
life prison was better!...

He was bad man,but life prison wads better option.

I don’t agree with capital punishment for anyone. As far as this situation, I don’t think any of us have an educated position.

Agree on that trial - it was a stage-managed joke and handled as incompetently as a Florida execution.

The victims of Saddam are the only people who mattered - and they never had their say in any purported legal proceedings, but were cut short and offered no closure. Saddam had numerous alleged offenses - he was only convicted on one.

Sure Saddam is guilty as hell - that was never in doubt. The problem is the "other side" are no better and use an army of thugs to put bullets in the heads of their opponents and leave them at roadside for collection each morning. The US is in bed with this "budding democracy" and equally contaminated. Bottom line - they are all shitbags and deserve each other.

I bet G Dub fucked the shit out of Laura last night.

I agree. As I've said before, it worked with Milosevic.

I just want to know why he wasn't put on trial for killing the "hundreds of thousands" they say he did.

I think they just wanted him put to death before his trial for gassing the Kurds. Accidental or not, they didn't want it to come out that the US gave him those very weapons.

I concur.

Totally agree with what you are saying. Seems like we are only slightly better than him. Although at least he did get a trial. Also I think we jumped the gun. There were many more crimes that deserved to be addressed.

Jesus, you probably believe your own bullshit don't you, why don't you fuck off and work for the White House press corps. Try replacing the sentence "He was tried by the Iraqi Government..." with "He was tried by the Iraqi puppet Government, while Bush & co. yanked the strings" and then you may have a valid point. Stop kissing Bush's ass you fucking sheep :321GFY

I don't agree with capital punishment - but I'm not sorry that he's dead

I think he's been punished enough. Set Saddam's dead ass free. :thumbsup

When you wanna discuss actual fact instead of useless supposition and 'tardo conspiracy nonsense, feel free to hit me up.


Imbecile.

In extreme cases I support execution.

Saddam was extreme. Some estimates are that he killed a million people.

Imbecile! :1orglaugh fuck!!, I'm wounded. Are you honestly trying to say that the Bush administration did NOTHING whatsoever to influence the proceedings, outcome and eventual sentence? You still believe every word to come out of Washington despite the fact that the whole Iraq situation was built on lies?? So come on Jim, enlighten us, where do YOU think Saddam hid the WMD's? Because as we all know, they must be somewhere, the President would never lie...would he?
