Not because I fear some lame reprisal from the Baath party remnants...
I think he was much more useful alive, and he should have rotted in a
cell.  I believe in the death penalty... don't mistake that, but I
think any loss of life--even his, needs a good reason.  What was the
benefit of his hanging, over life in prison?  120-something people he
ordered to die, and that SHOULD be punished, but would his country and
world be better served with him dead?

--------------------

It is better served in that he will never have a chance to kill again.  You
-can- escape from prison, but you cannot escape death.


I value life, all life as well, which is why I support the death penalty.
To save lives, you occasionally have to take one.  And Saddam was the most
fitting sacrifice I can think of.


Hitler was lucky in that he killed himself, Saddam was not as smart/strong.
