Saddam has been hanged!
This isn't a political or reglious post it is just a fact 3.00 est Saddam was hanged. His daughters have requested that his body be returned to them until such time as he can be buried in Iraq. I hope they aren't holding their breath.
Anyway that is the news!!

I wanted to start this thread but I thought everybody would think it was political :D Anyway I heard the news last night that he was about to be hanged and I thought oh my dog! We are still hanging people in the 21st century! Everybody here already knows I'm against death penalty, I think that acting like he did means not only to low ourselves to his own level but also to become monsters like him. As far as I'm concerned, he could have rotten in prison.

Hell yeah! Death penalty was just too easy for him. My aunt said they should have made him walk around, and whoever had family members killed/tortured by him could pinch him once. Just once from each and it'd have been painful enough to kill him. Also, it showed how many people he had done wrong to them.

I think that SAADM shouldn't hang beaceuse it will makes situations worse look around u and see and hear the bombs evryday may ALLAH help them.
but my question is:who is the beneficia from his death ?????????
politics
or
people who killed their families or relatives
his death will not reback them to life
noone is perfect or angel also SAADAM he was't comlete or angel everynoe makes mistakes but at least IRAQ was one country under his leadership.
this is my veiw point
cheers

Yes, its true that his death won't bring back the life's he has taken away but try saying this to the victims who lost their dear ones because of this savage dictator. I don’t know exactly about Iraqi people and how many he killed from his own people but I have seen how he was killing my own people. if you had seen how your friend's arm and legs were throwing into the air after hitting a bomb a few meters away from you and their warm blood were splashing on your face, how would you think about the man who had ordered this? could you just close your eyes and think this man's deed's dont concern you and it just has HAPPENED this way?
Regardless that how you look at it, his evil deeds were more than what you call just a MISTAKE. Killing all these innocent people, kids and women, torturing his own people all these years ... He was a horrifying criminal and didn’t deserve any mercy. Although I know his death is not going to change any thing that much and what's done is done but at least some people can stop crying for their dear ones after hearing this news and feel a little calm.. at last.
Anyway, this is my last post regarding politic matters in this topic, sorry for bringing these sad memories up in this beautiful night. I wish you all happiness and thanks for bearing with me folks.

So because it won't bring people back that he killed he should just go back to his office and have lunch, is that what you are saying? I'm confused.sweets wrote:I think that SAADM shouldn't hang beaceuse it will makes situations worse look around u and see and hear the bombs evryday may ALLAH help them.

Also what difference does it make when where or how. It has happened. It could have been Christmas day no other person that has been dealt the death penalty has had the choice. I can imagine it now all the prisoners in America on death row complaining because it is their nieces birthday, or their mothers birthday or their birthday for that matter.
The whole argument is irrelevant.
The point here so that this thread doesn't become political or religious the fact is he was hanged. Good bad or indifferent there it is.
Be very careful people you know the rules.

Exactly! Now they can sleep peacefully at night knowing he would not have a slight chance to return to torture them ever again. I consider this as a good new of 2006. I do not feel pitiful hearing his death at all. If yes, then it'd be unfair to those he'd killed.Anahita wrote:He was a horrifying criminal and didn’t deserve any mercy.

I think it hasn't been necessary in current situation in Iraq, that will just increase violence. Execution is the discrimination of human rights. Everyone has right to live. Maybe, spending rest of life in a prison would be right punishment, but under the pressure of U.S. government they hanged him.

That is just shows again that democracy cannot be established in countries such as Iraq,where human rights don't respects, where justice most of times guided by religion.That sentence(verdict) was just revenge reinforced by rage of many Iraqi peoples, not objective from view point of human rights,Lenny.

One on one is a revenge. Take a look at how many people he'd killed or ordered to kill/torture, then you'd know his sentence was not a revenge. Justice should be brought to those who deserve it. Putting him in jail does no justice since he never felt remorse. It'd be a waste of our money and energy. And what if he could be able to escape? Can you guarantee he would not try to kill anyone anymore? No, you can't and neither can others. Therefore, his death will put other people in peace. This is what I call justice.Xkalibur wrote:LennyeTran wrote:Tell that to people he'd killed!Xkalibur wrote:I think it hasn't been necessary in current situation in Iraq, that will just increase violence.

yes, you got it right, I am happy. * dances around the room* I am so happy that you cant even imagine. Why shouldn’t I? The murderer, who killed my friends and people for eight years, the one who destroyed many life's and innocent persons who never had done any thing wrong to him, is dead now. This is the logical conclusion of his terrible crimes which grabbed his neck and suffocated him at last. Being in heaven? What a cruel joke, hell is the only right place for such a horrifying demon. Where was justice in this world when he was killing people? If he had killed your own family and friends would you still be so carefree about this? huh? Even if he was reading 1000 verses of Koran before dying, yet he wasn’t able to achieve the forgiveness of the souls he has killed brutally and savagely.
Yes, I am so happy, so happy that I can cry and laugh in a same time but I'll stop my tears because I know for a person who never has felt the same pain, talking about these is just wasting time.

Man hanged that is not enough. At any time. In the holy day, holy month ( you know killings in forbidden in this month ). I do not think that the time was appropriate. I do not think it consistent with the laws of legality in Iraq.

But this does not mean that God will not accept the request of forgiveness and repentance and remorse for the crimes he committed.

Correct me if i am wrong but he was no longer a president; he was tried for his crimes against humanity. My understanding is that he had to be pulled out of a hole in the ground (captured). He didn't seem to give his victims the opportunity to run.Romantic wrote:In fact, i have never heard that a president has been executedsweets wrote:imagine that anther president hang in chsrimis what's your feeling?
History proves that there have been many leaders (even Kings and Queens) that have been beheaded etc because of their crimes.
I reiterate the date, time, place are irrelevant. The punishment was dealt out as seen fit by the Court. That should be enough. If the pray that he allegedly stated as he faced death is true you should be celebrating for him anyway. He was done a favor if this is the case. So what is the problem?

Iraqis are very strong people; if you know the history before Saddam I mean thousands years ago you'll know why Saddam is good president.
Al-hajaaj Bin Yousef Al-thaqafi was extremely criminal, he died in 714,
More than 50,000 of men and 30,000 of women were in Jail but jail with no roof, so many crimes he committed no one can imagine.
We know what Saddam did, but the question is WHY he did this?
He did use chemical weapons against some parties but why?
When a president knows that there is an assassination he will do what ever it takes to protect himself.
And I wonder where those chemical weapons are now?
I can say this is the presidency with people like Iraqis, besides, when Saddam was a president we didn’t hear that there is a conflict between parties but now when Iraq is occupied by US oh my God all day long people are killed, where is the Democracy that US justify its actions by it, the conflict won't stop in Iraq and it will last for good.
Saddam had been set up and his popularity is getting increase more and more.
And I will say this again and again date of execution was inappropriate because it was our Eid and it was in the month of Hajj.

That's the same video I have, in fact , CNN showed the beginning of it this morning, but of course, not the whole one! They just said that it had been recorded with a person's cellphone and the news showed some images.

Is that so? Man, I am speechless; seriously, do you know what kind of horrible, demonic logic has been hidden behind your lines? Supporting a murderer under any circumstances? By the way since when small kids and infants who were gotten killed along with their families by his chemical weapons are being called assassin?Romantic wrote:We know what Saddam did, but the question is WHY he did this?

Are you ready to approve all the crimes and blood massacres he has done under the name of THE PROTECTION OF ARAB NATION? if you want to make an excuses for him, at least try to make some thing which is more believable and acceptable!

*sighs and nods* You are right Len, it's completely useless to discuss about it with them. Regardless what reality and history tell us about the horrible crimes of this murderer, they wont listen to any logic since they have made their decision and chose their part before by saying this phrase, REST IN PEACE... Rest in peace... what a lame joke, heh.
