    Why did this trial even take place. The guy should have been lined up against a wall and shot as soon as we captured him. What did this long and iditotic trial prove exactly? Certainly it didn’t inspire any Iraqis’ (or Americans’) faith in the judicial system.

    Nah, but how about people who post as “anonymous”?

    Being against abortion has nothing to do with arranging the meeting between a tyrant and his Maker. Grow up.

    Oh, and another thing - you say: “no damn trial either!” implying that Saddam will be executed without a trial. Nothing could be further from the truth, and your insinuation that you agree with the terrorist sympathizer Ramsay Clark that this trial was a “mockery” shows what little disdain you have for facts. Or maybe you just like to ignore them to satisfy your ridiculous statements.

    Although I must say, I wish you were right - there should have been no trial, as Mike has said. The bastard should’ve been killed a long time ago, either by U.S. or Iraqi forces.

    To give Saddam and his terrible reign the respect and the humanity that an official trial entails is a joke.

    I really think Hussein is the last person that anti-death penalty advocates should be rallying around, that dog isn’t going to hunt very well.

    The decision to execute him was a grave one for those Iraqi judges, made according to Iraqi law and in the interests of serving Iraqi justice. I hope and pray that they did not take the decision to send another man to his death for his crimes lightly, or take pleasure in it.

    Saddam, on the other hand, was a sick, sadistic, creature of a ruler. The murders he will now die for are just a fraction of the crimes he committed. His personal brutality truly does rank among the great tyrants of mankind’s history, he played the role of a modern-day Herod, sending innocents to early graves in service to his own appetites and passions. Now he will pay for it all in accordance to the laws of his people.

    Speaking as one who could be persuaded to oppose the death penalty, statements like yours almost ensure that I will never do so. The tacit comparison of Hussein to the unborn around the world is absurd on its face.

    It is not absurd on its face — I think it’s up to the big guy upstairs to decide when our time to go is, not an abortion doctor and not a judge.

    Actually God gave us direction in the Bible. Exodus 21:12-14,22-23; Leviticus 24:17; Numbers 35:16-21 all require the Death penalty for pre-meditated murder. Exodus 22-23 take it further and states 22 “If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely [a] but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life,Other scripture back this as well. In the NT in Romans 13:3-4 it states of the ruling authority (government)3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. The sword represents corporal punishment.

    Can we ban this idiot? He contributes nothing intelligent to the discussion.

    At least force him to pick a name and insist that he use logic.

    How is it idiotic to suggest that the death penalty is incompatible with a pro-life outlook? You might disagree, but the contention is certainly not absurd on its face. There are plenty of people who vote Republican and feel the same way. Go to your friendly neighborhood Roman Catholic church to find a few.

    “How is it idiotic to suggest that the death penalty is incompatible with a pro-life outlook?”

    That is not idiotic, the way you phrase things is. Saying things like, “Way to be pro-life! Let’s execute democrats next — no damn trial either!” is stupid.

    Being pro-life doesn’t mean I am never, ever in favor of killing. It means I am against killing the innocent. Killing Saddam and killing an innocent unborn child are not the same thing so whether or not I am pro-life is unimportant.

    And for the record I am a practicing Catholic.
