Saddam Hussein has been convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging.

Man the appeals process is gonna make this drag on even longer.

Will there be any trial against Bush for what he did too?

Funny how the Europeans are criticizing the use of capital punishment when they sat back and let Hussein execute thousands of people over 20+ years.

Little hypocritical, eh?

What's this about us Europeans being hypocritical??

Personnally I'm just glad the trial is over. It feels like this is one of the cases where capital punishment fits.

Although I'm American I'm certainly not a fan of capital punishment myself, but he killed so many people, I believe it's totally deserved.

Saddam guilty of 148 deaths.....Sentenced to hang.

Bush's toll of 655,000 deaths....Scot-free.

Something here just doesn't add up.

The trial is over? Unfortunately, with the appeals that will be filed, it won't be; not by a longshot...

wow they still hang folks...i didn't realize

Blu-Cherri · « **Reply #10 on:** November 06, 2006, 07:54:06 PM »

lol I never realized that people could still be hanged either.

I heard all about how the apeal works, and basically it could take up to 50days now for him to be hanged or something like that(20days to sort out appeal, then 30 to be decided and carried out) so that' still the main part of the trial over. Can't not recognise the court now though.

As a member of the UK, the only thing I find hypocritical is the fact that for a country that's so opposed to capital punishment, Tony's happy enough to sit by and let Sadaam be executed. 'It's their own business' they'll say, well we kinda get involved when we sent British troops over to Iraq.

Personally, I think nothing's going to be gained from the execution. Don't get me wrong, Sadaam is an evil, evil son of a bitch and deserves to die, but the announcement of the execution, particularly so close to U.S. election time, is going to incite and encourage extremists to promote more violence, and that means more allied forces are going to get killed.

Agreed.

Today some members of the British Government have been quoted as saying it's "a great day for Iraq." It may be, but it's a bad day for democracy. The UK & THE US (and others) are supposed to be in Iraq to bring them democracy (that's the excuse we're told anyway), and then they go and sentence someone to hang, a barbaric primitive act. I'm not against the death penalty, but they should at least do something a little more humane.

I am compleatly against this entire war and I am ashamed of my country (America) for their sparking it. I hope everyone around the world knows that most Americans don't want us in Iraq anymore than the rest of the world does. I'm glad that Saddam is paying for the great pain he caused, as it's clearly deserved. I agree compleatly though that death by hanging is alsmot barbaric and it will only spark more violence.

Who really believes that his death will change anything?
Who knows what comes after this...
they should put him in a dark little hole like the one where he hides before
and let him there until he dies...:ONsad:
a fast death is much too god for him...:-|

Footage from the sentencing hearing. They should have had more than one translator (one for the judge and one for Saddam).

If you think Sadam only killed 148 people I think you need to recheck your history books. Saddam is guilty of MASS genocide against his people, and I think it's only disheartening that in this day and age, after the holocaust, so many people let it go on for so long. I really wish people would read up on what he did to his own people rather than just watch the news. The news can slant the way they want the viewers to respond in whatever light they want. But seriously, take a few moments to catch up and really see what the guy is about. Bush is like a baby in comparison to how sick Saddam is.

The US and the UK didn't sentance anyone. The Iraqi governement did.
