News coming from Iraq about Saddam's possible hanging is not the right lesson to teach dictators like him. There appear to be jubilation in the American and other western media about this death sentence.
I am with the opinion that since he is found guilty, he should not die but put in prison as long as he lives. It is crucial that Iraqi's and other similar dictators around the world see Saddam suffering in Jail instead of just killing him once and for all.
Iraq's younger generation need to be able to visit this man and see what really it means to be brutal to your people. It is not about America or the rest of the world, but about Iraqi's learning historic lessons by witnessing a dictator's last years in life.
I think this is the lesson that need to be handed to any dictator found guilty of inhumane treatment against their people. Death is not a deterrent, but a one time event that gets forgotten in reality. After a while it becomes like a movie. Who remembers Saddam's sons, Eddie Amen, Sameul Doe of Liberia, Mobutu of Zaire or even Hitler?
I wish he was let live and see all the miraculous and or hurrendous things that comes with life. Life should be about lessons and this is a foregone one..

My computer is still down – has been even further destroyed. I hope that those responsible get hanged in hell.
A response to any subject on this forum can be tangential, it does not have to lock horns directly – it can even be a point of departure. This is BANTABA, it’s not an examination hall, and I hope that I’m not the only crazy one here. I am chatting, keeping company, like at a dinner table sometimes and the script is not a manuscript; we are free to talk, even interrupt someone’s flow of thought or emotions and continue.
After writing this, I would like to get to the latest Saddam Hussein issues as there must be much foaming in and around some mouths just now, arguing about retributive justice vs. injustice, arguing about the many phases or war and history of war, arguing about the soft underbelly of brutality, despotism, nationalism, and Saddam's last wish is that his people should “ fight the Persians” ( a repeat of the Iraq-Iran , the Sunni Shia war) only thing is we don’t know whether it was Saddam who was hanged – if indeed he was hanged at all and not flown over to Virginia, or whether it was one of his doubles, and like the unbelieving Thomas of yore, it’s reasonable for the unbelievers to demand to see the body and to bury him.
But I would trust the Shia to not mistake somebody else for Saddam
( whether it be his siamese twin brother or even the devil himself for him, and I'm sure that as far as they are concerned, they've hanged the right man. But can we be absolutely sure?
As for me, as I have stated time without number and not only in quoting Danny Glover, that
http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=Danny+Glover+on+the+Death+penalty&btnG=S%C3%B6k&meta=
I am against the death penalty, whether it is for Ahmadinejad or Saddam – not that I believe that when it comes to measuring atrocities it is only a question of scale, for in Islam, killing just one man is like having killed all mankind – so, no double standards here: should Ahmadinejad want to further any diabolic intentions of wiping out the rest of what Hitler intended, should he not meet the same fate - not at the terminal stage but at a much earlier stage meet the same fate as Adolf Eichmann?

Foday Sankoh met his fate before he could give a full accounting. And so has Saddam. Let us hope that Charles Taylor does not get too nervous that he will be meeting them soon, I mean those two who have gone just a little ahead.
Like I said I do not believe in the death penalty, not for Taylor either. |

There are many of us who have questions about what just happened with the hanging of Saddam.
Heres another viewpoint that comes from UK The Guardian -- I suppose history repeats itself again...

EDITORIAL
Gainako on-line Newspaper (GON)
Motto: Guardianship & Independence
Gainako's editorial received several mixed reactions from our readership on the Execution of Former
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Some celebrated his death by expressing that justice has taken its
course against someone who allegedly committed so many human genocides against his own citizens
and neighbors. Others were hesitant about the timing of the execution to coincide with the Muslim
celebration of Edul Adha (Feast of Blood Sacrifice).
As the world reacts to this execution, many also expressed doubt as to whether capital punishment was
the right form of punishment to be handed to such brutal dictators like Saddam. Several legal and religious
scholars also added their skepticism on whether justice was seen to be carried out in full. By executing
Saddam on a single incident, leaving out victims like the Kudis, the Kuwaits, Sunnis and many Iranians
cases uninvestigated. As the Pop Said “Two wrongs never make a right”.
At Gainako, we strictly oppose death by hanging. Sadam should have been jailed. We understand the
feelings of the many Iraqis whose tears dripped as a result of alleged tyranny, but killing him is like resting
his soul. The timing of the whole event with the Muslim feast was also disheartening. The Al-Malik
Government and his allies should have known better. A Government out to unify a country must recognize
all the different religious sects.

Though Saddam is alleged to have committed a lot of human indecency, i am strictly opposed to death by hanging, lethal injection, shooting, etc... as a way of justice. I very well understand the frustration of the many Iraqis, and others that suffered in the hands of a brutal Saddam.
The timing of the incident on muslim eid must be as well condemned. Why a rush in killing him? The mockery at the Gallow from his executioners was also wrong. This should have been conducted by neautral people, not people in for revenge.
I hope all humans, especially those aspiring for leadership positions and those who are leaders already will learn the lesson.
I rest it. |
