Whilst its technically an Iraqi court, he has been tried by the US and teh UK. without us being there he would not be in the position he is now. We don't have teh death penalty here and As far as I know, most of the USA doesn't either so why are we allowing this level of sentencing in a court of law that we are at_this_point_in_time supporting.

Life imprisonment yes, hard labour yes(PS can we have that in our prisons as well please!!!!) death by hanging, Nope.

Definately NO. I believe that God, & only God can take a life. No matter what the crime, nobody has the right to take another persons life. Would the hangman not then be a murderer?

Have you children?If anybody harmed my child,i wouldnt be waiting for God to take a life.

That's fine. You have your belief, & i have mine.

Re: Should Saddam Hussein hang?
 

I have voted yes ... and I do not believe in capital punishment at all. Whatever beliefs you have ... religious or otherwise, this is how the Iraqis wish to dispose of this evil man and we should accept the wishes of these people, after all they are the ones that have suffered under his rule.

We would not expect any foreigners to influence our laws on capital punishment and think we should give them the same courtesy.

I feel reaction to his execution will be short lived, but keeping him alive will just prolong further terrorism. Imprisonment will just give out vibes from the new leaders of fear and weakness to the people. Men who followed this man thought he was a God, well, got to be shown that he is not. A clean sweep, that's what I say.

Hanging is too good for that man. What about the industrial shredder he used on a few people he didn't like?

Seriously, though - this ball is in the Iraqi court and hanging is the proscribed punishment. However, it will be interesting to see what they do with the remains.

Re: Should Saddam Hussein hang?
 

There is no way he is going to hang. If his appeal fails then you can be pretty certain that he will suddenly die of 'natural causes' in his cell.

If he hangs - god help us here in the uk and america and to everyone in iraq. There will be revenge attacks. I havent voted for the simple reason i dont know. One with everything he did he deserves to hang but Two we dont want revenge attacks at our soldiers in iraq and afghanistan or attacks in this country.
