What should happen to Saddam Hussain?

Honestly, every answer except the worst answer (release him back to power) was incredibly disturbing, you guys sound like you work for the Nazi death camps......man its horrifying to hear people want to do this to others.....all you gotta do is sit him in a prison cell, and subject him to the rest of his life to a monitor with a constant stream of American Propaganda....that'd drive him mad, and he wouldn't have anyone to yell at, then you just throw away the key and (did I mention this is happening in a rocket) and launch him off into space, to be picked up or driven into a hard rock or boiling sun...

Regardless of how he got in there, we have to stand behind the decision.  There might not have been all the reasons stated, but they did find enriched uranium there, and other signs of helping terrorism.  We ousted a dictator by the majority of Iraq's request.  Else we wouldn't have gone in.\nSaddam should be dead already.  But he is a strong man, and it wouldn't surprise me much if somehow he got free, after all we have done.  \n\nThe military should have just shot him.  He is a mentally ill person with a great deal of power, and all of it is focussed on ruining western civilization as we know it.  If you don't believe that, then I'm not sure what I could say to convince you

It will have little effect on the state of Iraq. Yes, he was a killer and he is gone for good. However, so was Saddam and when they caught him, they trumpeted his capture as a turning point. However nothing changed afterward. Iraq will still remain a hell-hole.

quote\nis it better to keep him around in prison\n\nAbsolutely not! ! ! Saddam loyalist with the idea of him somehow regaining power is a major source of terror in Iraq. Keeping him alive this long has cost the lives of many American service men.

It probably happens more often, but a lot less often than if the Iraqi Defense Force was there.  For all the issues that has been brought up, Saddam already have everyone beat when he was the dictator.  He killed thousands that opposed him.

The appeals process is quite limited in Iraq and will be gone through rather quickly.  Then the verdict and sentence must be approved by the Iraqi president (and two others, I think).  The approval probably will not take long either.  While there is another Saddam trial going on, he could be executed before its completion.  My feeling is that all trials on all charges should be completed before he is executed so that there will be documentation of all his acts before he dies.

Well I know that a lot of people would like to see him executed... \n But I say to let him rot in jail or take his own life. Killing him is to step down to his level. I'd like to think I can live my life and leave this world a forgiving person Free of bloodstains on my hands and far far above the likes of the Saddam.

"Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been convicted of crimes against humanity by a Baghdad court and sentenced to death by hanging. \nHe was found guilty over his role in the killing of 148 people in the mainly Shia town of Dujail in 1982."\nWhy is he sentenced?Because elections are nearby so Bush must prove somehow that he is making progresses in his "war against terror"...

Oh yes.  Saddam will be hung, and it will be before the spring of 2007.  Its no longer in America's hands.  The Iraqis have spoken up to their years of abuse and genocide, and Saddam will get what he deserves

We havent heard much because nothing much is happening.  Saddam has no real defense, and he's still yelling about the court not having the autority to try him,  yada yada.  \n\nI hope deh fry da sucka

I can't believe the number of people who seemingly want to take the side of Saddam.  As far as I am concerned, the man refused to follow the rules, he wanted to pretend he had them, so I think we should have acted as if he did.  I would rather be safe than sorry.  I have seen too many reports that show the people are greatful for our intervention.  I think there is still a possibility that there are weapons hidden somewhere.

when i saw this question i had to laugh. i expected it to be something like "oh, poor saddam, why dont we just give him life in prison?" \n\nI propose we force him to live with michael jackson for the rest of his life. Not even death is scarier

He is guilty of mass murders.  He has lived the life of 10 rich men. He is an arrogant ass hole, he should be put down for the crimes against the Iraqi people.

No what he does is not right..he should be labled a criminal and should be thrown in jail. The pain and suffering caused by Bush, all the death brought on by all his lies is horrendous...He is a very evil man and should be on trial right now just like Saddam!!!

Certainly. It is divine justice that the innocent Shiaite Muslims who were massacred by the men of Saddam at his dictate will get solace and peace for the expiation that Saddam Hussein will at the end be hanged for the many crimes he has committed against humanity.

He should go to court for "war crimes".

I don't think he should be held responcible for what others have done. I think he should be impeached, then arrested and tried in a world court for his crimes against humanity for starting and unjust war in the first place, and then keeping prisinors off shore without due process. If convicted he should be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
