Justice? Discuss.
In my opinion it isn't, if the iraqi people had overthrown him then it would be ok to kill the guy. But now it just feels wrong. And there is no country with dictatorship who doesn't use brute force against there oponents. Why not get all those people on a trial and kill them.
I voted Justice.
I really don't have much of an opinion on the war since i am not a part of ether country, but. He did kill the Kurds and what not. Maybe his method of capture and trial were distasteful but w/e.
Today or last night?
I'm sure I heard it on the news. It seems like they are keeping this on the down low for some reason.
Well, if most of the Iraqi people think this was the way to go, who am I to object? I've never lived under brutal, violent oppression nor had my friends and relatives wiped out, so I could never claim to be able to imagine how great many citizens over there felt.
Saddam was beyond doubt guilty of great many severe things, there's no question of that. If his own people deemed the offences grave enough to execute him, then it was justice by their standards. For my own part I don't really support death penalties, but that's only how I feel it should be in the EU. Other places must live according to their own traditional and established ideals.
Justice, about time that ass of a man die.
nothing "discrase"ful about it. the world's better off without his crazy ass.
and the execution was done early in the morning, Iraq time. One cited reason for the exact time being kept "on the down low" was to avoid any insurgent/terrorist action being orchestrated in protest. If nobody knows when it is, nobody'll show up to protest.
and turkish, how is it not just simply because an outside force had to intervene? That's like saying police separating an abusive father from his children is wrong because the police aren't part of the family.
regardless of who brought him down, he deserved to die. so as far as i'm concerned, it's a step in the right direction to hang the bastard.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Justice....
You forgot the "I don't care" option.
Justice but I don't like the method of execution.
Justice hands down for me......
Justice without a doubt.
No matter what country you belong to, no matter what your beliefs on the death penalty are, the world is better place without that man in it. What he did warrants what he got, he killed so many, with such reckless abandon, it is fitting that his judgment was to be death. As people before me have stated- the Iraqi people are the ones who voted for his hanging, and they are the ones who know firsthand the horrors he brought upon the world.... The issue here is not the timing of it. That is a separate issue, and one the world needs to ask itself. Why did they stand idly by when these events transpired? I for one, do not know enough about the "world politics", as these were most surely a factor, of that time, and in order to have clear standpoint on that issue I feel that is needed. In any case, I voted Justice.
I voted disgrace.
No matter what he did, no one deserves to be hang. They should have put him in prison. Yes, I know that he did many horrible thing, but he would suffer more being in prison and dying. Getting hanged, you suffer few minutes maximum, but being in prison for the next 10 years you suffer more and you think about the bad stuffs that you did. Plus, this hanging would just the situation in Iraq worse than it is actually.
As I see it if he had not right to kill anyone, anyone had the right to kill him. I dont believe in hell so for me they just released him from a lot of pain he should have suffered in prison. Anyway about the 90% of the world primer ministers, presidents, war ciefs have done the same thing (some even worse) and I wont live to see them pay for it so talking about justice just makes me feel sad.
It was their decision, imo they chose the wrong one.
The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
I voted justice, because come on, if you put him in prison he's likely to escape the way Iraq is going nowadays. Putting him to death puts an end to his government once and for all, and the Iraqi people really need that. Hence why they voted to execute him. He definitely deserved execution (he gassed his own people deliberately - mustard gas is a horrible way to die), but it does feel more like we executed him, not the Iraqis.Originally Posted by gr3atfull
@Assassin: He's lucky to be hanged. Traditionally executions in Muslim nations are public beheading - he got off easy in that respect.
We all die eventually anyway, just because every dictator who commits atrocities isn't put to trial and executed doesn't mean one of them can't be.
