Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think that, though he was indeed clinically insane, he led an incredible life. I do not think that it was America's perogative(sp?) to stay in Iraq, even after we found no WMD's, and I think that Bush made it worse by staying so long... I think that, were we to pull out completely NOW, we would only be opening ourselves up to attack.

I was thinking to preform something a lot more painful to a man that tested his own weapons on his people. Though hanging was a nice touch, seeing as how there very few people being hung anymore.

I would have started by cutting off his limbs, burning the wound, and the move on to various techniques used by the Spanish when "questioning" heritics.

Then I would have started with a few things of my own, including a special one of him having his balls cut with paper. Followed by handing him over to the Texas government, and having him hung, with his toes holding himself up, while they use him for target practice with darts.

I can't detect sarcasm. whee

I must agree with TheFateOfTheUniverse. What good would torturing him do? I understand your... Dislike for him, but he was a person. A cruel, and insane person, but a person nonetheless.

If, my some strange turn of events he was killed that way, I'm almost positive some group of people would be upset by this, perhaps leading to riots? Who knows what would happen. But.. Not good.

Well, in the first place, we didn't execute him, the newly formed democraZy of Iraq did. And their tradition of executions is generally either hanging, or beheading, one of which is quick and the other involves the use of the gallows. But if you look at the entire time Saddam was in power and how many civilians died by his hand, versus how long this war's been going and how many innocent civilians have become casualties of war, you can only draw the following conclusion:
Bush is worse than saddam
I don't care if saying...typing that emboldens terrorists, as you can plainly see it's already in bold text...and underlined.
