That's right. I don't understand the sense of a death sanction. It would have been harder for Sadam to stay in prison for the rest of his life. Death isn't a solution, the criminal isn't able to think about his crimes, his life's just over.

The problem is that he could still fuel the fires of hatred from his prison cell. Better to silence the bastard IMO

What comes around goes around:

Hussein’s regime killed, tortured, raped and terrorized the Iraqi people and its neighbors for over two decades.

Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of Hussein’s actions.

Hussein has had approximately 40 of his own relatives murdered.

1980-88: Iran-Iraq war left 150,000 to 340,000 Iraqis and 450,000 to 730,000 Iranians dead.

1983-1988: Documented chemical attacks by Iraqi regime caused some 30,000 Iraqi and Iranian deaths.

1988: Chemical attack on Kurdish village of Halabja killed approximately 5,000 people.

1987-1988: Iraqi regime used chemical agents in attacks against at least 40 Kurdish villages.

1990-91: 1,000 Kuwaitis were killed in Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

1991: bloody suppression of Kurdish and Shi’a uprisings in northern and southern Iraq killed at least 30,000 to 60,000.

2,000 Kurdish villages were destroyed during the campaign of terror

2001 Amnesty International report: “Victims of torture in Iraq are subjected to a wide range of forms of torture, including the gouging out of eyes, severe beatings and electric shocks… some victims have died as a result and many have been left with permanent physical and psychological damage.”

Human Rights Watch: Hussein’s 1987-1988 campaign of terror against the Kurds killed at least 50,000 and possibly as many as 100,000 Kurds.

Refugees International: “Oppressive government policies have led to the internal displacement of 900,000 Iraqis”

Iraq’s 13 million Shi’a Muslims, the majority of Iraq’s population of approximately 22 million, faced severe restrictions on their religious practice

FBI: Iraqi government was involved in a plot to assassinate former President George Bush during his April 14-16, 1993 visit to Kuwait.

The Iraqi regime has repeatedly refused visits by human rights monitors.

From 1992 until 2002, Saddam prevented the UN Special Rapporteur from visiting Iraq.

but to kill him makes you no better than him.

Well the planet is better off without him, but I don't agree with killing him. The Sunnis that supported him are now up in arms because of the manner in which the execution was handled. It was held on a muslim holiday and the executioners where taunting him, one even prasising Muqtada al-Sadar. It looked more like a gang of thugs carrying out a revenge killing not a state sanctioned execution. To me leaving him in prison with no contact with the outside world would have been a better punishment for him. Now the possiblilty arises that he will become a martyr and the manner of his execution may fuel more sectarian violence between the Sunnis and Shias.

Too bad that fair trial didn't allow any comments about his friendship with the US.

Well my friend soak up your sunshine now. All good things come to an end. Could you imagine if he would have bombed Brazil for the attempt on his life. You would have your nickers in a twist for him hitting the wrong county. Be proud of your nation while you can!
