Video of sentancing.



Any thoughts?

hes a bitch... comeon, like he wasnt expecting to get sentanced to death?

This is a tricky one.
He's far too influential and dangerous to keep alive but there is always the risk of elevating him to matryrdom.

At the moment he's a symbol to the Baathist insurgents.
While he's alive, they will fight to have him reinstated as president.

If he is killed 'by the enemies of Iraq', he'll still be a symbol, but a symbol that can't be controlled.

Kill him. hang him and let the motherfucker squrm. I would even let the public in to throw rocks at him.

I would agree that he deserves to die.... but is he any worse than Mao or Pol Pot, even lil' kim? They all lived out their lives without execution (possibly not kim jung il) and they make saddam seem like a girl scout.

I dont think the 100,000's of people murdered under Saddam would think he is a girlscout. The fact that he and his 2 utterly disgusting sons will all finnaly be dead is a good thing. The Shit they did is incomprehensibly terrible.

I said in comparisson to the multiple millions that pal pot , mao or even kim jung il have massacred.

I would put him at warlord level evil, maybe... some of those african warlords have even doen more damage. I dont know that I would put him even remotely at dictator level evil.

Why do you even see the need to classify his "evilness level". He his either evil or not.

im going to talk slow, so you can understand me....

why... does... he...deserve....to...die...when...others...have...done...worse...and...not...bee n...punished?

Who said Pol Pot and mao DIDNT deserve to die? I will say it slower so you can understand it too

MAO...and other....dictators....didnt.....lose....power....and....therefore....didnt.....h ave.....to face....the.....wraith of the...........people......


Now why make stupid comparisons? it looks mor elike youre defending Sadam for some reason. And you all but admitted that youre a lib, and I have seen a lot of libs express love and such for Saddam just because they hate Bush.

Personally, I'd let him go.

In downtown Baghdad

He has shown a total disregard for justice all of his life, he doesn't recognise the court, he doesn't recognise the ruling.

He has killed thousands of Iraqi people, if he doesn't recognise the court, the court should let him go.
Hanging is too good for him anyway, he's sentenced hundreds of people to death by stoning, give him a taste of his own medicine.

This is going to be a minefield whatever is done, whatever to do to him is going to cause unrest, the only way to prevent a full blown civil war as a result of this is to act fast.
Whatever they are going to do to him, they need to decide and do it before the Baathists have a chance to prepare.

who did he kill wasnt it islamic extermists shouldnt he be a hero

me = lib.... I guess. Im socially liberal and financially conservative

its not a stupid comparison.... its an ethical question. why invade iraq and take out saddam and not any of the other dictators (except Mao for geopolitical reasons)

Because we gain more from invading Iraq in the terms of our longterm security and combating islamic terrorism?

By the way mao has long since been dead.

Well we didnt attack Iraq to take out Saddam because of his social policies

and we arent punishing him, the people of Iraq are

Yeah, I feel a whole lot fuckin' safer...thank God! I can sleep at night knowing there won't be another terrost attack because Saddam is going to die!

Like Bush said: "I don't even think about Bin Laden anymore."

I dont think about Bin Laden either he is on the run. not collecting money and planning attacks like he was when Clinton was ignoring him. And yes we are safer, theyre fighting in Iraq, not the USA. Douche.

If he dies for what he believes in that makes him a hero. I say send him to a POW camp and let him rot without any media coverage. Starve him like he starved his own country.

Yeah, fuck revenge...that's stupid. Oh wait, this war was revenge...for daddy.

Look man, I know you're a hardcore right-winger, and that your attitude brings with it a sense of...um...brotherly love (I guess would be what I'm going for)...but has it never crossed your mind that the belief in the system, in the government, in the people, that all of it by far outweighs any one political party or political stance? That when the people of the system are at their wits end with one another that there might be something wrong with it?

He's an influential figure. There would always be a chance of escape or contact with liasons on the outside. That would defeat the purpose of all we've done. Remember a little dude named Napoleon?

Execute him. Let's not debate the morality or justice of it all. Just do it. History will
