ha! and what would be the point in that? how could you be so sure that he wont escape, or be let out early for "good behaviour" as so often happens?

also, if he's put in jail then there's still the possibility that he could get out, no matter how slim that possibility is. and if he's still alive, albeit in jail, then there are going to people who will try and carry on where he left off in the hopes that they will be rewarded if he gets out. whereas if he's killed, then hopefully it will discourage any followers - no matter how loyal a group of followers are, if their leader is killed then they tend to lose heart.

sadly he wont be remembered like that - he'll be remembered for all the terrible things he did. its quite sad that no matter how many good and wonderful things a person can do in their lifetime, if they make just one mistake, that's what they'll be remembered for >< [that's not about hussein...]

It's not that easy to escape jail, and if he gets out early for good behaviour, well, he earned it i suppose.

If he dies, his followers will try to get revenge. It makes no difference if he's dead or not, people will still try to carry out his plans.

in some countries, like england, a psychotic maniac who killed 27 people and is given life in jail can get out after 5 years or something silly. there was a guy not long ago who was a convicted rapist and paeodphile and had been sentenced to something like 20-25 years, but was told he had the oppertunity to get out after 5 years, and because he'd already served some time in jail, he was allowed out after 3 years or something. and when he was let out on parole, he kidnapped a 3 year old girl and sexually asaulted her several times. it's ridiculous.

maybe so, but if Hussein is given the death sentence [and its actually carried out this time] then that will also serve as an example to his followers - namely, "if you continue to do what you are doing and follow in Hussein's footsteps, then this will happen to you as well"

just out of interest, what would your judgement have been against Hitler? death sentence? jail? with the option of getting out after 5 years as long as he promises never to slaughter any more people?

Some of them kill themselves already, so no, I don't think they'd bother about a death sentence...

Hitler only got to have power because the German people were stupid enough to believe his crap. Had he been arrested and released after 5 years, he'd never get that much power again.

Beh personaly I think that hanging is retarded >.>
What happened to thos injections Oo

Enywase I dont belive he should be killed he should be jailed for life so he can regret what he has done when you die you cant regret enything while your in a jail you feal bad. Makes me think the us is trying to cover something up so they erasing the evidence >.>

Enywase I hope that the videos wont show up on the internet like some of you morons mentioned because its in humaine to watch an other human die (Yes suprisingly some of you just found out even sadam is humman) and the peole that said they want to watch ppl die make me sick we see how retarded some of us ragezoners are.

Well enywase this concludes the sadam story.
But I personaly didnt know that civilised contrys still had death penalty lol. Well maby some of us are still barbaric thats why we cant stop fighting :)

Axe you for your gold xD

We should torture him...

apparently, in his country, bog-standard civilians die by hanging, and men who have served in the army are shot - so for Hussein, who parades around in an army uniform even though he never served in the army and only took the title Field Marshal when he came to power, it add insult to injury :)

Personally in my honest opinion, he should have carried on what he was doing. He had Iraq under control, he knew how to deal with the situations, he knew how to keep the public controllably. We know this because when he was in power everyone stayed quiet and peaceful, cause they where feared of him.

Now we interupt and we think we can do what we like. Thing is, Bush, Blair also does killing in Iraq, so what makes them different to Sadam>? to keep the peace? but it isnt working and yet killing more lives lol. I dont see the point in it but letting our own people die... Where we could of just let it go past and bother about our economy and so on. Cause end of day, they're far from us :P, and it might bring up terrorist organisations and so on, but the start of even invading Iraq has braught it to more of attention. e.g.

Imagine soldiers from another country being outside your local supermarket, with guns, watching you, searching you and shoudnt even be there. If you make a slight mistake or say something wrong you have the fear of being shot. Your not going to like and rebel against them, and especially with the media whats over there. It isnt like over here with newspapers, it only takes a few people here and there to spread rumours i.e. "you know them guys over there, they are here to prevent us from doing things" etc etc alot worser things though. Blah blah, they should have let him do his stuff, and by hanging him, will make him more famous in the long run and cause more havoc in the Iraq atmosphere lol

lol bush's intentions may have been good, but im sure he could have found a better way to intervene as apposed to mowing innocent people down *rolls eyes* such is the intelligence of someone in charge of so many dangerous weapons
