Saddam Hussein has been convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging.
As the judge began reading the death sentence Saddam Hussein shouted out "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Greatest) and "Long live Iraq! Long live the Iraqi people! Down with the traitors!"
Should the judgment stand Saddam will be executed within 30 days the chief prosecutor has said.
Shortly after the verdict was announced celebratory gunfire could be heard across Baghdad
Well, he kinda deserves it...

yeh i was thinking it would make a good you-tube video

heck, id make a new site for it

Is it really justice though.? Those who passed judgement have also committed crimes against humanity in the name of democracy. (No I dont support saddam either..just pointing out how absurd the world can be/is) as to people celebrating it.. sic its never good to celebrate the taking of a human life regardless of whose it is.

There's a part of me that wants to see him live, and rot in jail for the rest of his life. That for him would be a much worse punishment, he'd have years to think about and reflect on his actions (though I suspect he'd still be unrepentant), and to live his life in a small jail cell after being used to all those opulent palaces!

A wonderful outcome. I have nothing against that hanging of that evil man.
Posted by Johnex
burn him at the stake then?
Posted by PeterKay
Hope bush & blair get the same outcome one day for the amount of people dead under thier regime.

^ Crap...!
Saddam will 'eventually' get what he deserves, slowly but surely. Only problem now is that we and the Iraq' forces can expect an increased amount of trouble from his supporters. Good for the majority of Iraq's though, they seem ecstatic from this relief.

I kind of agree with that but he got what he deserved.

Why hang the guy, why not execute him by firing squad.
Posted by Xugaa
^ Because that would be quick and painless...
Compared to hanging anyway, it would be a quick way out.

Agreed, hanging is far too light a punishment. At risk of sounding like a complete sicko, I'd rather he suffered for the rest of his living life for what he's done.
Posted by Xugaa
But isn't there then that constant risk that he could be brought to power again by his supporters? Or at least broken out?
Posted by faultymonkey
hey ive just had a good idea
we pin sadman insane against a wall and everyone pays £1 to punch him (like the many internet games)
then he gets what he deserves and the money can be put towards making Iraq better! EVERYONE WINS!
Posted by Sammy_boy
Yes, there is the danger that he would become a target to be broken out of jail or returned to power, but if he was kept it in jail in another country there'd be less of a risk.
imho death is what he was hoping for, a quick and easy way out for him, rather than rotting in jail for the rest of his miserable life.
Posted by Johnex
BAstard motherf**ker deserves so much more!
i want him to have his legs cut off and then his arms fed to rabid wolves, and him to be killed finally by his skull being ripped off by a bear.
EDIT: From my shia friend.

I think they should bring back hanging in the uk!!!
Posted by deluded
Maybe he should be locked in a small, dark room with nothing but a television playing re-runs of Bush's speeches over and over again.

But you'd always get the risk some nutters would hi-jack a plane or something and demand for his release also.
Posted by Xugaa
But what country would be willing to take him, any country would fear that to take him in may just lead to a growth of terrorism and Islamic fanatics within that country.
@ Burgaz, not hanging, it's far too backwards now I think. Though I would approve of firing squad executions for some 100% evil crimes that we've had. Instead of them spending "life" (less than 20 years) in prison, only to come out and do it again.

Lets not forget the crimes against humanity commited by the biggest SOB ass in the world, aka, George. W. Bush.
Posted by Sammy_boy
@joe - true, I guess hanging him's the 'safest' thing to do, though still gives him the easy way out.
Posted by fatreg
it will not happen.
goes agaisnt everything they have had him for.. he has been tired and convited of torture etc etc. so why hang him?
capital punishment will not be the end of saddam.. i assure you.

True say
...However, if they do want to execute him I think hanging is a bit over the top I mean we arent in the 1800's here, Death by injection?
Posted by arroyootje
I wonder when Bush will be hanged... I think he has been responsable for more deaths than Saddam, Osama or whoever else...
Posted by PeterKay
Well true, he will be punished if not in this world then the hearafter
Posted by axxxr
I would personally like to see G.Bush get the electric chair along with his father Bush senior...saddam would never have become as bad as he did if it was'nt for the support and aid of the U.S government!

Absolutely agree with you,the numbers of innocent people killed by Bush junior and Bush Senior far exceed that of Saddam or Osama.
The world blindly ignores the attrocities commited by the U.S government and is quick to label a small dictator who was armed and funded by america to commit his crimes.
Whats sad is that the people of the world are brainwashed by the ridiculous bull that comes from our governments and the media.

@axxxr - What's SUPPORT mate
Moral support in the 80's
Saddam is as BAD as EVIL from the day he was conceived !
If I were the ruling JUDGE, I will not just hang him . . . as his consequence for the millions he have killed during his reign . . . but instead will PUT a Nuclear Bomb in his mouth .. . . and let it explode ! ! !

*Jojo* Its a well know fact not a conspiracy,that Saddam was financially funded aswell as provided heavy arms in the 80's during the war with Iran,not only that when saddam famously gased those kurds in halabja which was one of the things he was tried for...that poison gas was supplied by the U.S at the time.
Tha fact is when saddam was killing muslim Iranians america was best buddy with Saddam,he could have whatever he wanted as long as he kept killing Iranians!...when saddam was no good after the war,he became enemy no:1 because he refused to play ball any longer.
You have a lot to learn when it comes to middle east politics jojo!
Posted by *Jojo*
@axxxr - Eheeeeeeeem ! I know some FACTS about the Middle East issues mate . . . just keeping my silence in your THREAD
Saddam and Osama has something in similar as what OTHERS were saying . . . BOTH were USED by the Americans . . . as a result, the saying that: What Goes Around . . . Comes Around (bad karma), was then applied to the Americans ! What they have MADE then . . . BOOMERANGED !
Saddam became a dictator . . . he abused his powers and all!
He deserves . . . to be HANGED . . . . on top of a - Christmas Tree (very timely) !
About the news last night:
_________________________________
As I was watching CNN/BBC last night when the verdict was sent out . . . the LUNATIC does not even know how to show RESPECT inside the court room . . . while the presiding judge was reading the result . . . HE even makes his own SPEECH - simultaneously . . . I was just sooooooo confused as to whom will I listen to FIRST
He thought he was IMMORTAL huh
. . . he shouldn't have LET the allied forces capture him . . . . ALIVE ! He should have KILLED himself by swallowing a SAMURAI !

Exactly,you got that right...Saddam and Osama became monsters that America created,...personally i would blame the creator not the monster!
| Quote: |

I don't believe he deserves to be punished alone,G.bush should be hanged alongside him!
or even better they should hang G.Bush from a Christmas Tree on Christmas day....perfect!!
...personally i think thats a mild sentence for a facist like him!

Well . . . let's just wait. As reports says, the execution will be made NEXT year (1st quarter). There were some conflicting reports though, as some news says that he will be KILLED via firing squad . . . but majority of the reports says otherwise - HANG ! H m m m m, Saddam will have a FEEL of a a
mobile phone now . . . it HANGS !
GWB is just finishing his TERM now - axxxr, once he is totally gone . . . I presume that you'll take a KICK on his successor too

Killing saddam won't solve anything in Iraq,..Saddam may have done evil things,but while he was in power he kept the country together,such as various factions from killing each other,mainly Shia's and Sunni's and stopped hard line Islamic leaders from coming into power,many of which are like the late Ayatollah Khomeini pf Iran..All they want is a hard line Islamic Revolution which is very anti-american...does america really want that?....saddam in comparison is an angel.

I know mate,im still hopeing that he gets impeached before he ends his term.....I'd love to see him leave that whitehouse in discrace!
Yeh thats right i might actually hate his successor even more but i doubt anyone else could be as bad as G.W.Bush....but i proberbly will never support any american president from now on,as the whole american system is corrupt right to the core...unless some kind of miricle happens and a radical change comes about i don't think i will look at any american leader in a favourable way.
Posted by *Jojo*
Yeah . . . despite Saddam's exit, the whole country (Iraq) is still in totall chaos . . . fighting and killing heard thru reports at CNN/BCC
Looks like the NEW Iraqi Gov't that was put into office has totally NO use
Iraq . . . a place where one of the early human civilizations was discovered is now . . . . . a complete battle-ground . . .

take a look at this: guardian
According to a new survey Bush is more dangerous than Kim Jong-il.

I am glad, although I am not quite sure I am comfortable with the hanging verdict. Don't know why?
It just doesn't sit easy with me.

If thats what he wants!
Seeing him dead anyway would go some way to providing closure for the relatives of all those people he gassed to death.

Was he supposed to fight the US army with his bare hands?
Let it be, shoot the guy if he wants to be shot.
Posted by goldenface
All talk and no action!
He was sabre-rattling for years, threatening everybody with weapons and gassing people and telling his army to fight to the death - then look where he was found - hiding in a hole like a hamster!
They should put him back in that hole and fill it in.
