I don't know what to think.The death penalty is extreme to me. I don't like it. But how to punish someone who was so extreme and who hurt so many people?

I dont think the death penalty was what he deserved for what he did to those people. He didnt deserve the death penalty at all because it would've all benefited him. He can just innocently kill over 150 people, more counting and get away with all of this by getting hanged? WOW, so does that mean i can go around and kill over 100 people and just get hanged? 1 life for 100 +++? My opinion to this is, he should've been tortured, extreme torture and give him a taste of his own medicine.

It's just going to cause more violence. I say we should have killed him on the spot instead of holding him for over 2years and making a media frenzy out of this. Now that we had him, we needed to put him in some god forsken place for eternity.

Well, he wasn't just being kept so he could be taped on camera. There were trials going on.

Even though Saddam Hussein did deserve the death sentence, I think it was very disrespectful that they did the execution on the muslim holiday of Eid. That was very disrespectful. They, could of done it earlier, or they could of post poned it, but they didn't.
Zac has also noticed that most of his friends in facebook really don’t know Zac that well. Many of them only see one side of Zac and really haven’t spent enough time with Zac to know the real Zac. Zac believes that only two of his ten friends actually spent enough time with Zac to know the real Zac. But, recently, Zac isn’t even sure if he knows the real Zac, himself. Zac is starting to think about what has happened over the past year. He is wondering about his new identity. While his personality remains (more or less) the same, his values and his beliefs have changed drastically over the past year. You begin to wonder if any perception is ever written in stone. Just when you think you know enough about the world, you realize you are wrong. Zac doesn’t know what he should be doing in life. He needs a guide. Should we get jobs only becuz they pay a lot? should we try to make more friends when we know they will all leave us soon enough after high school? Does it matter if we express ourselves the way we want to or should we dress, speak and act “cool” like EVERYBODY else? Why does a crush have such a strong influence on a person and why is it so hard to suppress a crush? When is the right time to look for love? Is it worth fighting for a cause that most people ignore? Is ignorance truly bliss? How would Zac’s life be if he didn’t think so much? At one point in time, Zac thought he was the wisest person of his age group. Zac, now, knows he was wrong. He feels that common sense came to him at a later stage in life compared to other people. Zac is now confused and is wondering about what kind of person he has become and what kind of person he once was. Zac does not know which person is the better person.

I really don't know enough about the situation to really know what to think. I do think Saddam should have been punished for all the lives he took. But then there comes the political implications from Iraq and so many other things that make this complicated. I don't know if it was right to execute him so quickly; he probably had a lot of knowledge to offer, and it was just too quick. And death: it's something that can't be reversed.

I don't know when Eid begins, but does the fact that they hanged him before sunrise make any difference?
Anyway, I think this is really twisted, but I don't want to get too into politics here (and I don't mean dealth penalty politics).

Except Saddam Hussein had no connections to any terrorist activity, and had no connections with Al Qaeda or 9/11. He was a secular leader, and didn't really care for religious extremists that were using terrorism.
It's much easier being politically incorrect.

Eid is a muslim holiday that allows NO EXECUTION... so if he wasn't executed before EID, then he wouldnt be.

"wouldn't be..." did you mean to complete that sentence? Why not execute him after Eid?

May he rot in hell for his misdeeds, but at the same time, some mercy for the good he might've done (perhaps away from the public eye).

I'm usually against the death penalty. Key word: usually. In america, its usually very biased against minorities, and we execute people sometimes a decade or two after the crime, when they can be a changed person. In some islamic countries (and others too), its used for the silliest things. But in this case, i actually think he deserved it. However, there are still trials going on in which he was a defendant, so it would've been nice to see those completed with him alive.
As far as the torture thing goes, i am against that 110%. In america, thats something we call "cruel and unusual punishment". Of course, our dear administration up in washington likes to ignore that, but its illegal (or at least was before they decided to play around at guantanamo bay), not to mention just plain immoral.

The horrible and disgusting stuff that that man did to innocent people are absolutely unbearable. He was immoral, why not be immoral back to him...
But since he's an annoyance to society, maybe hanging him and putting a end to it immediately was a good idea. (Notice: He is referred to as IT)
