Saddam hanged.

[dantheman123]

Do you think it was right for Saddam Hussain to be hanged? Or should he have been imprisoned for life?

I would never normally approve of the death sentence. It is barbaric and there is always the chance that the sentence is wrong etc. But in this case it is like the question- if you went back in time and had the choice of killing Hitler or not, would you, I would, of course! Someone so extreme a murderer as him, and the fact that he is defiant and still believes he is right.. what is the point of taxes keeping him alive? I'm afraid I feel it is a case of "good riddance to bad rubblish".

Some people do not deserve to be on this earth

Crikey..... I can't believe how bloody fast that happened.... wasn't it on the radio only yesterday that he would be hung within a month..... aye, I agree with the above... good riddance to bad rubbish... I think they should do it more often....

[-Zorro-]

He should have been tied up, smeared with Pedagree Chum and have a pack of rabid dogs let loose on him

[jeanette1976]

Thats pretty tame, zorro... think of the children and innocents..... there are lots of medieval torture that would be more suited.... ie. Vlad the Impaler had a man hung and drawn before slitting open a horses belly, pulling out the entrails and stitching the prisoner inside to slowly suffocate to death.... now THERES an idea.....

Im quite ashamed that i found out he had been hanged via the answer bank. Imprisoned for life, I think.

I agree with the death penalty for some cases. But the with Saddam I think it would have shamed him to be held in a squalid prison for the rest of his days being treated like the scum that he was. In death he will now become a martyr and the crazed lunatics that seem to follow him will have a even bigger reason to try and justify their actions now. They say on the news it is all quite in Baghdad at present but just wait for the repercussions to set in.

Personally I am glad he is gone and the sooner they get that Bin Laden and execute him the better too.

But sadly there is always going to be someone crazier and more sadistic to take their places.

I dont believe in the death penalty. It bothers me to see people behave like animals gloating over the death of anybody (not on ere, on other sites its downright scary) I agree with Goodsoulette- life imprisonment.

I was kind of hoping the noose would break and he slipped on a sharpe sword that would sever his knee caps. He would then be in hospital and treated with an AIDS infected scalple giving him painful ulcerated sores. Then, due to his illness he mistakes normal tap water with carbolic acid and washes his hairy face and eyes causing severe pain and permanent blindness. Then whilst he is sufferring from the worse pain imaginable he he placed in a cell with the biggest convicted arab bum-rapist ever with a fetish for hairy dictators with AIDS and burnt faces, and used as a toy for a few months.

Then he is giving salmonella infected chicken whislt he legal team try to defend him further. Just as he is due to be hang again, each finger is cut off with a hacksaw by a mad rabbi who who has lost his family due to anti-Israeli feeling. As the noose is placed aroud his neck a secondary rope is tied around his willy. This rope is conneceted In front of him to a black sheet coverring a crowd of people crowd of people.

As he falls, he neck is slowly broken and the force on the secondary rope rips his todger off and the black sheet is pulled away revealing his entire family. They are seen by a dying Saddam and there mouths have been forced wide open with numerous cuts inside. The bllood from his AIDS infected willy is sprayed in to each of his wives and children, who in turn will suffer and die.

He finally dies after 30 minutes of suffocation and a half broken neck.

However, I was happy with the simple hanging.

I welcome the fact that Saddam Hussein has been tried by an Iraqi court for at least some of the appalling crimes he committed against the Iraqi people. He has now been held to account.

I do not support the use of the death penalty, in Iraq or anywhere else, but I respect the decision' of the Iraqi authorities.

And it could'nt have happened to a nicer guy.

[gasman]
