Saddam is Dead

NOT TRYING to start some political debate but seeing the
report of his execution seems unreal.

This has to be the biggest event that has taken place during
my life and probably will stay that way.

Thank GOD they killed him in 2006 before the Demmycrats
could get in and take credit for it.

What about 9/11? I imagine it had a greater effect on the
path of history than this will.

I don't feel good hearing anyone has been executed, for any
reason.

The death penalty is just one more cultural bump in the road
to the currency and border free science and space
exploration driven Star Trek utopia that will hopefully one
day be our future. Live Long and Prosper.

this afternoon i witnessed CNN's dull cable news explaining
what happens when a person is hung in fairly graphic detail,
i guess to kill time before saddam died. the funny/weird
part was when they segued into their next story that had
nothing to do with it and it was all cheery. fuck.

BIGGEST EVENT OF YOUR LIFE???
Man, the american government and media must have made you
believe that Saddam is the evilest devil and this is a
victory in a crusade. Because it seems unreal for me that a
New Jersey's american feels that good for a capital
punishment, ending an coward, unfair and ilicit war to give
muslins the light of our crap democracy.

I would like to say a lot more but it's hard for me in
english, anyway i will answer followups to this.

Quality comment on that video:

i think saddam chocked as well.


So, they didn't execute him at half time during the
superbowl after all. :(

Boo hoo Saddam, you were a prick and got a lot less than you
deserved.

saddam's death changes little - it doesn't get our dumb
asses out of Iraq and it certainly won't stop Islamic groups
from killing each other. Besides, aren't there several other
dictators out there (Obiang, Jong Il, and whoever is running
Sudan) who will likely never see trial?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but how can anyone say
this is wrong? It's almost like you're saying "Ahh, poor
Sadam!" Bah, he deserved everything he got and more. Would
you say it was wrong if Hitler was caught and executed?

I understand the reasons why people argue against the death
penalty, but I dunno, when we're talking a political leader
of a country who probably killed hundreds of thousands or
even millions of people what punishment besides execution
could be given to fit the crime?

Yep, I totally agree. I can see how even someone who is
normally vehemently against capital punishment for people
"only" guilty of things like rape and murder to be in favour
of it for genocide.

marlowe, just out of interest (and I'm not criticising your
dislike of capital punishment, I really am interested in
your viewpoint) what would you propose as an alternative for
him? In a normal prison, Saddam would be killed by some of
the other inmates unless he was in solitary constantly. I
think a life sentence in solitary (when life really does
mean life) is actually crueler than the death sentence to
the prisoner.

I know if I was in prison for life with no chance of
release, I'd like to be able to choose to be killed
instead.

The problem I have is that it isn't really "justice", more
revenge. They should have shot him when he emerged from that
little hole in the ground.

The details about the trial are laughable really, but it
doesn't matter. Everyone knew they would hang him. They
could have shot him when they caught him and saved a lot of
time, money, hassle and propaganda...but hey, I guess they
know what they're upto.

This is fucking disgusting. There was no fair trial. This
was just a man put out to death. He was a soldier and
should have been allowed to die with dignity and honour by
having a fight with a Klingon.

Allahu Akbar.

I don't think the proper punishment for killing is to be
killed. Plus, his death will be seen as martyrdom by
probably many moslems. Plus it's inhumane to execute a
person anyway.

If a person's found guilty of a murderous (or genocidal)
offence, then life imprisonment is obviously the punishment
to be meted out. It's speculation to say that he would be
murdered in prison, and a risk any prisoner takes,
especially those convicted of more heinous offences. And he
would hardly have been shipped off to Wormword Scrubs, or
any 'normal' prison.

Execution is never the answer, and future generations will
be ashamed to learn that it was once practised.

To paraphrase MLK, an eye for an eye leads to a world of
blindness.

Revenge is a dish best left unserved.

"An eye for an eye" is probably the most MIS-quoted thing
ever. In the bible it encourages people NOT to take an eye
for an eye. Drives me mad when people use it to justify
things. Also isn't there a commandment saying "thou shalt
not kill"?

I'm gunna KILL the next person who says "an eye for an eye"
;)

you mentioned "an eye for an eye" from MLK, and I guessed it
wouldn't be long before someone cited the bible or
something. I dunno. I've been drinking and hmmm yes.
I wasn't actually having a go at anyone on here as such,
just the general idiots of the 'free world©' who legitimise
their decisions using the bible as some sort of cover-all
blanket excuse.

It's a bit late to kill him now anyway. After the first gulf
war would have perhaps been better (?) doing it now is a bit
pointless, unless he had some mad mole based WMD in that
hole he was in FFS.

That is bouncing almost in time to the bassline in MRK1's
'Slang' which I'm listening to. It looks quite cool, almost
like you could use it as a visual at a show.

Marlowe: I agree some will see his death as martyrdom.
