In recent months I have been working toward getting away from death penalty advocacy, not because of personal morals but because I personally feel that spending the rest of my life in a cell would be more horrible of a thing to bare, from my perspective. Death is quick and painless (or the pain is not long-lasting).

I so agree Larry, without making this another boring 'is hanging right or wrong in general debate' we should focus on the pros and cons of killing Saddam. I fear that if he does not die soon then when the Allied forces leave Iraq we might have a horrible situation of Saddam getting busted from jail, becoming leader and setting out the rest of his life on a revenge mission. Imagine all those good sons of the USA having died for nothing while a smiling Saddam pisses on their memories!
I don’t mind admitting Larry, Yorick and all, yes I am against capital punishment but leaving Saddam alive in Iraq is NOT imo an option.
So what should be done? Buggered if I know [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Put him in a Brussels prison.
