Saddam Hussein

[f8fan]

found guilty - and will be hanged?? Am I the only one that thinks that "hanging" is almost as dated as the guillotine?
Saddam Hussein sentenced to death by hanging - CNN.com
I do believe in the death penalty - but, really, hanging??

I almost think in certain situations it makes the individual suffer more to have to live out the rest of their natural life incarcerated with no human rights whatsoever, I'd rather see him suffer for years upon years than to see him hanged.

-=overly graphic description of way to kill him other than hanging=-

i think that is a much better death sentence

 

[Igor The Cat]

hanging is quite a common death penelty, still the default here in WA, but you are given the choice of other methods, so this means that Hussein either chose hanging or possibly didnt select anything at all.

Evidently he chose a firing squad as his method but this wasn't agreed to.

I agree Kelly, being locked up in solitary confinement for the rest of his life would be worse than hanging. But.............hanging him is a lot less expensive than locking him up

 

[PlecoCollector]

"Wow" is all I can say. But yeah, hanging does sound a bit out-dated. For him though, I don't really think it matters, as long as he gets what he deserves.

 

[ram man]

give me 3 days with the needed supplies and i can make him wish he was dead.

You must remember. In the United States we have Cruel and Unusual punishment, in countries like that...they don't. And like stated above some states still offer hanging/firing squad/electric chair as means of execution.

i remeber the story of a guy here in WA how managed to get incredibly fatt on death row so they couldnt hang him beacuse it would be cruel and unusal....but im still wondering how do you get fat in prison?

same way many of todays young people are getting fat and out of shape. By sitting around stuffing your face, doing nothing but flapping their jaws about how what happened to them and all of lifes problems are someone elses fault and not their own.

I see nothing wrong with him being hanged. And if it actualy happens I'll be surprised.

 

[ram man]

i can understand why he wants a fireing squad, probably the quickest death, *mod edit*... that would be my choice of execution, that or lethal injection

I most definitly agree. why should he get the easy way out and have his life ended early. he should sit in a 8x10 cell and suffer for the rest of his life.

 

[Submariner]

I think I'd rather see him shot by firing squad. Give him what he wants.

But it's not like he's going to be executed any time soon. It will be at least a year, I'm thinking, if ever.

Most firing squads only have 1-2 people with loaded rifles. Others with blanks.

He needs to get what he deserves. We need to use the same gas on him as he used on the kurds in the 80s. Id love for him to start inhaling the poison gas he used against the woman and children.

 

[wilsonriverfish]

to easy he needs the poison gas

or torture

 

[f8fan]

Well, if there is a Hell, then IMO he will be the perfect candidate for admission. Maybe, in the big picture for eternity, that is punishment enough.

However, I still feel like an almost instant death is too easy for an cold, soul-less life form like him. If he has natural human life left to him, IMO an instant death is too easy. I think he should have a worse execution than hanging. I think hanging is too medieval.

 

[wilsonriverfish]

your right the best bet for SodamnInsane is the slowest and most paintfull death they can think up. We need to do it for these people( http://trishymouse.net/gas2.jpg ) the innocent kurds that were gassed. Also when i hear people say we should not have gone to iraq I say hogwash because it was 10 years to late. He also commited genocide on the marsh arabs by draing there marshes and killing them in retaliation for giving the shiites shelter, who were trying to build a possible coup against him after the kuwait invasion

 

[echoofformless]

Oh he's just a crazed old man. I don't see the point of any of this anymore.

I think it will be funny when he goes to hell and he tries to hang out with Hitler and Stalin and they're like, "Uh...who are you again?"

"I am Saddam Hussein! I was ruler of Iraq! I ruled with an iron fist!! I am very important dictator!!!!"

Hitler: "Um..ok...if you say so I guess. So what was that, you invaded some little country and gassed some people. And you expect to hang out with us?"

Stalin: "Yeah, go away kid, you bother me."

All I can say is it's about damn time. I was in Iraq when he was captured as well as when his sons were killed and there was jubilation in the streets then. I'm sure there will be huge celebrations when he's finally gone.

As far as incarcerating him for life, that wouldn't work because there are people over there that are still afraid that he will come back into power. As long as he lives that fear will still be there.

My vote for him would be Mustard gas... It's a blister agent that causes blistering of any flesh it comes in contact with. When inhaled the blistering happens to the lung tissues and the person slowly suffocates. It's what he used on the Kurds in the 80's.

But that's just me...
