- For those of you who think hanging him was inhumane and would have rather had him put in the gas chamber or lethal injection that is just retarded. Studies have shown that lethal injection is potentially one of the most painful ways to die. The only reason it looks so "humane" is because the first 2 of the 3 injections they give the person paralyzes them so when they give them the third injection that attacks their entire muscular system and stops their heart, they can't move or scream. Sounds fun... but not as fun as a suffocating to death in a gas chamber. I rather hang from a rope or go wild wild west in front of firing squad... either way you are dead before you even know what hit you instead of being strapped to a table, paralyzed feeling death creep into your veins... yea, real "humane".

is death humane?

Depending on the circumstances, yes. In his case, probably not but does someone who gave orders to kill hundreds of thousands of people just to test his nerve gas and to rid his country of the Kurds really deserve "humane" treatment? Ultra humanitarians will say it doesn't matter what the person did, death is not the answer (even though we all die anyways) BUT is it not the humane thing to do to rid the world of evil so the good and the living can prosper?

I would say getting rid of one evil person to better the world is a pretty humane thing to do.

Andrew raised good points.

Hasen't changed my mind or my opinion though.

I seriously don't care if he killed one person or a million, you don't stomp on his lifeless body after he is executed. He should have been executed without 100% of the people present being shiites. 5 people whom have nothing to do with him would have been much better...

The whole execution looked EXACTLY like what they do to hostages. Masked and everything.

Way to primal for me to even comprehend, hanging? There is a reason why it hasn't been done senice the late '60's.

I take your point about life in prison being inhumane with a head nod, you make good sense to me here. I still can't get my head around capital punishment though, I just can't.

what andrew said is true prison nowadays is like free housing, you get food, free stay, tvs and they call that prison. if prison were really "prison" then send him there for life but its not, so that is why i say kill the man who killed many himself

- For those of you who think "suffering" a life in prison would have been better, well suffering is "inhumane" too. No one suffers in prison anymore. Place to sleep, 3 meals a day, TV, library, etc. Then we'd get to watch him on TV for the next 20 years screaming at the camera in appeals court.

andrew, dont kid yourself. just becuase you get 3 meals a day and books to mean doesnt mean you wont get ass raped in the shower or stabbed because you pissed off the wrong person.

the person of prison isnt to make people suffer, though. its to remove them from society. if sadam was put in prison, his life would have been hell. do you think the guards, whose country he tore apart, would just let him go on living a peaceful life? its iraq, not the united states. he wouldve been stuck in a 4x8 room for the next thirty years alone. i really doubt he wouldve had access to a television, and maybe not even books.

Although its probably my favorite movie, you believe in Shawshank Redemption too much. I doubt people get raped in prison anymore. I haven't been in prison though so i wouldn't know.

Word. Prison might not be the best place to get stuck but it is FAR from being the worst.

I do think they made a mistake by not having equal representation of the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds at the execution especially if they are trying to pull the country together but either way I still think he deserved to die and he did so end of story.

i agree that it is the right thing to do, but i dont know if its really possible. Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds all have so much contempt for each other that if you through them in a room together attempting to hang saddam, it most likely wouldve ended up in a brawl.

personally, i think it should have been a private execution. maybe the hangman and a couple witnesses, not the debauchery that it turned out to be. although im sure thats not easy to do, either. nothing in iraq can go right anymore, so it just makes sense that saddams execution got so messed up too.
