AstroProdigy Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Or you could not jump to pointlessly torture him. Does he deverve to be tortured? Yes. Does that make it right? No.
freakout Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 deos something have to be right ?? to do it ?? no ... but on the other side we kill pepole for murdeirng 3 kids ... so umm waht sort of death is logical for pepole that kill hundrands of thousands?
AstroProdigy Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Death itself is the ultimate punishment. The point of the death penalty is to prevent the person from ever commiting the crime again. If it was simply for revenge then you might as well torture them, but if it's about justice than simply killing them is more than enough and torture serves no positive purpose. Your already ending their lives so why make it a painful end? There's no point.
Greased_Lightning Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Death is death, no matter what road you take to get there. Would we really feel good about ourselves if we made it a long drawn out excruciating process? I wouldn't, I say just hang the guy. He requested firing squad because he wanted to go out in a soldier's death or an honorable death just like Goering requested. Don't let this one go out on his own terms. Hang him and forget him.
Endrance Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 i think he should be tortured for 9/11 come on now we should just nuke there country and let them solve the rest of there problems come on we should just send the chinse over there and help them
NBVegita Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Take say...the old minister of healths wife for example. Back in the early 90's he suggested that saddam step down momentarily to halp discussions with Iran. The next day his wife found a bundle in their house. That bundle was her husband cut into dozens of pieces. Hanging is a much more humane way for him to die, than he let others ever do. The point of torture would be revenge for those people. !@#$%^&* we don't even have to do it. Just get a bunch of those people together and give them saddam and just have us walk away. And the point of a life sentance in jail is to be sure that they can never commit the crime again. The point of the death penatly is that the crime they commited was so heinous, that they no longer deserve to live. I guess this use a mute point to discuss anyway, because our country is too..."refined"...to do such a thing...I mean !@#$%^&* a third (exaggeration) of our country doesn't even think its right to kill animals for food anymore. Cabbage anyone? Saddam was not involved in 9/11. In fact he was not involved with al queda, but did have ties to many other terrorist organizations through the years.

ashlies Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Although he did deserve a very severe form of punishment, I don't think death by hanging was the right choice.Especially seeing as how a US judge had a point where he could step in and stop the process, there is probably going to be very big retaliation against the US because of their agreement in the exicution off Saddam.I don't think the US should have even opened their mouths about it, one simple brodcast stating that he has been killed would have been fine, rather than televising it for what will probably be weeks, that will just bring more backlash on to them and then they'll be wondering "what did we do this time"Although a terrible one, Saddam was still a person, and didn't deserve to be hung.. it's inhumane.
»freakmonger Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Although a terrible one, Saddam was still a person, and didn't deserve to be hung.. it's inhumane. Tell that to the Kurds that were gased by him....
»1587200 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Has anyone been able to find the full video of his hanging?
MillenniumMan Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Although a terrible one, Saddam was still a person, and didn't deserve to be hung.. it's inhumane. Tell that to the Kurds that were gased by him.... Agreed. I keep hearing that capital punishment is wrong, it's inhumane, it's blah blah blah...Tell that to the ones who are dropped into m!@#$%^&* papershredders, g!@#$%^&*ed til they break their own backs, are hacked to death by machettes, burned alive for absolutely no reason. Yeah, an execution is very f***ing inhumane. But the ASSS who are executed for their crimes are treated far better than the ones who the MURDER! I hope you sleep well at night with your twisted sense of morality, thinking that by not making an example of these wastes of humanity to the next ten generations as a warning that you are better. You're not better, you're as bad as the mosters because you are saying you condone what they did and they should have it easy, with 3 squares, cableTV, a roof over their heads and all at the expense of the society they hurt. And for what? The next 30-40 years of their life???
ashlies Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 I in NO WAY said I condone ANYTHING that Saddam did.. I simply said that I didn't think going on about his hanging the way they did was a smart move. I completely agree something needed to be done, and the death penalty was COMPLETELY fair, but I don't think they should have promoted the hanging the way they did, it is just going to cause more turmoil between everyone and be grounds for more retaliation... no need to jump me for having an opinion jack!@#$%^&*.
The Apache Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 any conclusion will cause more turmoil.
»Blocks Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Tell that to the Kurds that were gased by him....One inhumane act doesn't deserve another in turn. It breeds hatred.
»freakmonger Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 I don't see hanging extemely "inhumane".
ashlies Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Hanging him in general may not be terribly inhumane.. but making such a public spector of it is definatly pretty gnarly.. we could have done without.
»freakmonger Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 no because then you have everyone "oo they didn't hang him"..its bad enough some ppl saying its a body double...
AstroProdigy Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Life in jail would have prevented martyrdom. Too bad the people who sentenced him couldn't see past their hatred towards him and see the repricutions of their decision.
NBVegita Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 And then we have to deal with decades of radicals doing the same thing they're going to do in the following months calling for his release, and then also the attempts at trying to rescue him from prison. Great idea.
»1587200 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Has anyone been able to find the full video of his hanging?Hey syrus, I found it for you. Follow the link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7...nging&hl=en
Drake7707 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 any leader that has power is corrupt and a tyrant. Some are just smarter, others are sneakier, and even more others are just plain dumb. Saddam was one of the latter, but if you want justice, you need to hang each leader of every country.
AstroProdigy Posted January 1, 2007 Report Posted January 1, 2007 Getting him out of prison? Not even possible if Americans help him stay in. You forget we are massively technologically superior with training that puts them to shame. The only way they've been able to fight us back successfully is by hiding amongst civilians and using our reluctance to kill civilians as a weapon. In an organized jail break type situation they'd have to come out in the open and then we'd slaughter them.
