so what would you do?

[Dave420]

With Saddam?
personally I would turn him over to the Iraqi people to do with him as they wished -I can guess there would be a stoning involved -and not the type I like ;)

[Scarecrow28]

Let those he judged and made suffer be his judge.

[ZyklonB]

It's a tough call. I don't beleive in the death penalty but at the same time while he is alive and imprisoned anywhere, it will be cause for his core followers to continue their insurrection. I would probabley have him imprisoned here in the U.S. or Guantonamo ala Manuel Noriaga.

[Zero Tolerance]

dont believe in the death penalty?

i think we need to have a little talk!

:D

[ZyklonB]

I did until I converted to Roman Catholic.

[CoolShark]

he deserves to be executed and it should be on PPV for the entire world to see.

[OLDthing]

AMEN Coolshark!!! :D ,,,,OLDthing

There are plenty of men of God in the Bible who believed and exacted capital punishment. ;)

[Dave420]

I dont think we should waste the 50 cents on a bullet or the $500 on lethal injection or the $50 in electricity -some twine and a large ant pile will do just fine ;) -or maybe a few iraqi with hands full of rocks.........

Rocks...? i think you mean mud stones...

I am not sure I agree with all of you. This man is a criminal, but WE supported him for a long time and WE only ceased to support him when our own needs were no longer furthered (i.e. that whole Kuwait thing and/or the Stark incident).

It took a ruthless person to govern that whole mess of a country over there and while I certainly do not condone what he did, I think that he (or someone like him) was sort of inevitable for that bunch. How much more ruthless is he than any of the other despots out there that support our interests?

In any case, we are stuck with him now and the only reasonable thing to do (from a political standpoint) is to allow the Iraqis to decide his fate.

Saddam is a "false prize" anyway. Osama's head would make a finer trophy and truth be told, killing them both will probably only make them more martyrlike to the boatloads of zealots who seem to be everywhere in that region of the world.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong...

<Because I know you are using "we" as the U.S. govt, I will do the same. I am not sure what you are disagreeing with here. Because "we" supported him at one time may make "us" look a little worse-but makes him no less a criminal.>

<A ruthless person may have been inevitable for "that bunch" but the fact remains that if left to his own devices he would have put Pol Pott to shame. There are very few families in Iraq that won't have relatives in a mass grave. Having other despots supporting our interests doesn't make him look better it makes "us" look worse. Countries furthering their interests is not new--even neutral Switzerland profited from the holocaust--didn't make Hitler any better.>

<Agreed>

< I fear you may be right on target here, but letting them live would just postpone their martyrdom. I say take them out now and raise the spirits of those that want them gone!>

I was thinking the same Dave. A large ant pile with Saddam dipped in molasses and buried in it. Not Fire ants though death is to quick the crazy son of gun needs to suffer. We could even reuse the nice hole he dug.

well,,yes we did support him for quite a while,,but thats what we do to get the job done,,,when he turns,,so must we, and his attrocities should be dealt with.

he slaughtered 400k plus people,,and he should be accountable for it,,,He lied to his people during the war,,he said that we werent in Baghdad when we were, giving theri country a false sense of security,,or insecurity i should say. He kept his country under a system of follow or be gone mentality. And it was obviously was affective. I was a very much supporter of the first war,,but i feel we dropped the ball on that one,,,this time we took care of business completely,,,Sadaam is gone,,and the people are free to do with what they need with their country. and for those that think we did it for the oil,,from what i see,,it is the Iraqi people that are benifiting from the Oil,,Granted we will benefit in the long run,,but for now its the Iraqi people that are benifiting,,,they dont have to live in fear anymore.

Forget the ant pile. Ants wouldn't show up well on the ppv special, and having him tied down would show a real struggle.

A pit full of rabid ferrets would be soooooo much more entertaining. Think of it as weasels for a weasel.
