So, reports indicate that Saddam Hussein is officially dead, executed by hanging with gleeful Iraqis dancing about his body.

Opinions? Does it bother anyone else that as a civilized nation we still support hangings, mass murderers or not?

he was found guilty by an IRAQI court, sentenced by an IRAQI judge, and killed by an IRAQI executioner. US has nothing to do with it.

Probably not, Oojay can't read. He gets his news from the same place he gets all his well informed opinions; what he hears around the local bars.

I was actually at a rest stop at 4 AM (which explains the time) watching this on a TV, and there were like 10 people gathered around. Fox didn't show it but still, murdering people as a nation means you've still got one foot in the primitive 3rd world. I know here in the U.S. it actually costs more to kill a man than it does to give him a life sentence.

I don't really understand the idea behind killing a man for a crime. What good does it do anyone that he's dead? I'd actually welcome death, the slow rot of jail seems like a ****ing hell.

I think it depends on how you perceive a decision. Are you a better person for allowing someone to live? Or given you would have them locked away for the rest of their lives, are you a better person for killing them?

I always think to myself a life spent locked up with the bare essentials of survival must be hell, but there is something about the death penalty that seemed that much more fitting.

If he's alive he still has a voice with which he could speak to his followers. He would still be dangerous if he were rotting away. It is foolish to underestimate the power of a former despot's voice.
