Hussein sentenced to death

Good.

Is it going on pay-per-view ?

I'm surprised he is being executed.. I thought we were supposed to be turning Iraq into a civilised democracy?

He is appealing though, And so he should, The trial was a farce, So it might not happen and even if it does it wont be for a number of years.

Wow that same sentence was just in an article I read. How original meman.

He shouldn't be allowed a trial. This guy is evil and the sooner we get rid of him the better.

I understand how bland and unoriginal that previous statement was, but i really don't care. Assuming he killed a fraction of the people he was supposed to have killed then he deserves any punishment, and being hung (very harsh death i might add) would be nothing in comparison to all the pain and grief he would have caused people in Iraq over the years he dictated the country.

He's gonna poop his pants in front of everybody

It's quite a common thing to say about trials that are farcical.
I could try inventing some new words for you, But i don't know how much of it you would understand.

So the trail was a farce, we all knew his people were going to find him guilty no matter what, we knew the outcome before it started. So what's the big deal?
You of all people meman should be glad that someone who attempted genocide is to be put to death or do you believe that genocide is an acceptable practice?

Just because i'm against the specific punishment doesn't mean i support the crime.

He should be punished. But killing people is always wrong, isn't it?
Or is it wrong when he does it and right when we do it?
Is it always right if you support the reason for the killing?

Executions aren't something that civilized people should do, It's damaging to society to have the government killing people.

Hi all,
Hi david,
For Meman I think the question hasn't to be asked like that.
The pro-death penalty doesn’t have a corner on the struggle against genocides and mostly evil you must accept the fact that, for some people, Meman could be in a sense even more hostile than you to killing.

Everyone should have the right to give a sense or find a stake to this trial and I think you missed witch stake Meman was talking about.

This stake rises above the obvious question about what we should think about genocide.
And just thinking than Meman could deem acceptable Sadam practice it's like choosing the easy way to give oneself the beautiful role.

Sorry Meman, I hadn't seen your answer

So meman if capital punishment is to brutal and would lower humanity down to where it would never recover, what punishment would be acceptable for a person like him

Life in prison.

What makes his killing worthy of execution and our killing worthy of praise?

So humanity should keep his life and cause alive due to the fact that his live is much more important than the people his decisions ended (1=2million that's fair)
