Will things be better, once Saddam is given death penalty next month?

[kentuck]

Last I heard, they were going to have his trial next month? Although many, if not most, Iraqis hate Saddam, how would it be seen in the rest of the Arab world? Will that make it easier for the American troops in Iraq or worse? What will be the impact if Saddam is executed? Will they rejoice in the streets or will they tend to make a martyr of him, especially in others areas besides Iraq?

1. Just can't get into

the death penalty, even for Saddam.

Must we lower ourselves to his level?

2. Not sure, but I seem to recall Iraq constitution forbids the death penalty

Anybody remember anything about this?

3. Me either.... The ghoulish celebration of his (likely) hanging...

that will surely occur, is going to send me over the edge....

4. Who cares.....

bring our troops home and let them deal with it!

5. Why yes, did you really need to ask?

This will solve all of our problems just like capturing him did.

May even solve our New Orleans problem, you never know!
