I don't support the death penalty and don't support the verdict. You do not defeat the monster by becoming the monster.

Killing Saddam will make him a Martyr and only serve to publicise and even substanciate any lies or falsehoods he's spoken.

Yes he sent many to their deaths, and yes he's been an evil man. But if a government kills him, it actually legitemises his actions in condemning 148 people to death.

Can't people see the inherant contradiction in that?

Saddam is found guilty of sentencing people to death.
Punishment = sentenced to death.


Huh?????
