A man desperately in need of putting down, good riddance. Shame they didn't just throw a grenade into the hole he was hiding in...

Indeed.

He was given more than he gave to any of the thousands of victims. He will get a marked grave = more than some of his victims. His death will be fairly quick = more than most of his victims. His family will know what happened to him = more than most of his victims families.

I will not share a tear for the barbaric monster unlike the hand wringing do gooders who would have seen him go unpunished.

Bill, I don't think there's a "do gooder" on earth who didn't think he deserved to be punished.

Not sure what 'hand wringing' is (and also cheers for the subtle and uncalled for dig there) but your previous comment made it sound like we are on terms with people like Saddam when it comes to killing people. Apologies if I misunderstood but you make it sound like you support death if you can justify it (ie hanging a killer like Saddam). Fine, and I'm sure that in some twisted way, Saddam and his supporters can justify the deaths they were responsible for.

The man was barbaric. Its a fitting end in my eyes that he dies with the same sort of barbarism as he saw fit to unleash on his victims. I felt it was justified and i bet i am not the only one on this forum that thinks that way.

There's no question that he was barbaric. But if you're going to be the one to bring the 'eye for an eye' argument in to this, do you really consider hanging to be 'barbaric'?

Saddam deserved to be punished for all the evil things he did - so we show it is wrong to kill people by killing someone.

It's as if the New Testament never happened.......

Barbaric no, the only probable outcome from the "trial" ... yes. The think that will bring peace to Iraq...... not at all. Saddam is dead, many will rejoice but there will also be many that see it as a reason to step up the violence again.
The winner in all this........ the media and the weapons manufacturers

Ramrod · 30-12-2006, 10:38

I just think he was badly in need of being put down......much like pol pot, hitler stalin etc...

I'm now waiting for the inevitable conspiracy theories to start up: 'saddam not really executed.....had plastic surgery and is living in south america....etc....'

Not in the way it was done. He would just have strung someone up and let them die by strangulation very slowly over anything up to 30 Min's. The way his executioner did it made sure it was quick, Something Saddam would not have allowed his victims.
