I think people would notece that there leader is gone, but with him gong, somone will take his place, and i realy dont think anything will change
He isnt a leader he is a icon when he dies people will probably view him as a martyr. Atleast Iraqi's.
QUOTE(Kashmir)
1. He never killed anyone. He ordered people killed.
If I ordered you to be killed, and you died. Wouldn't it suck if I got off scott free? Yea thought so..
Also Darfur doesn't really effect most people in the west, but that doesn't mean we should sit around and do nothing, we have and should help out the people in darfur from the radical extremist islamic militias.
Did Saddam get hanged already? If he didnt I wanna know when he gets hanged so I can try to watch it on TV.
I do not believe America would be so inhumane as to broadcast someone getting hung on national television.
Heh he deserves it regardless, and I am shure lots of people agree with me.
I've noticed a lot of "An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind" types of stand points on this. While that is usually true, common sense has to kick in somewhere. Someone who kills this many people needs to be killed. If you could go back in time and kill Hitler, would you? I mean, that's a simple question for me. If I had to kill one person to save two, I would.
Now, saying what I have said above, you all are going to think i'm a major hypocrite when I say this but, if there is any other way to stop a person from killing more instead of killing them, then by all means necessary do it.
We live in a modern society with high security jails, and I find the death penalty ridiculous, it should only be used when it is the only option, which is never the case. After a person is detained and arrested, using the death penalty is like a form of punishment, a form of punishment someone will never learn from, if you understand what i'm saying.
Just curious. Anyone knows when and where he is going to be executed?

"We will get sovereignty on the 30th of June," al-Rabii said. "I can tell you, he could be executed on the 1st of July."
Another council member, Ahmed Shya'a al-Barak, told Iraqi television a death sentence could be handed down even sooner, before the suspension of executions expires.
"The court could sentence Saddam Hussein and execute him later," he said, adding: "The least punishment Saddam Hussein should get is the capital punishment."
Thats when, but for security reasons I don't think they are going to say where.

If I could go back in time and kill Hitler, I probably wouldn't. I would have no idea what disaster it could cause in the world. While it might make it better, it also might create an alternate reality that was far worse than World War II. An interesting movie that involves the murder of people who are "detrimental" to society is The Last Supper. It's entertaining and interesting to think about.

You're refering to the chaos theory?
It's safe to say that, killing hitler wouldn't really hurt the world.

Is it really? How can you say for sure that another person could have risen to power and developed a nuclear weapons program quickly and used it upon all of their enemies? The fact is that there is no way to know if something will benefit the world or not.
I think the best way to handle it is to subscribe to the pragmatic belief that what could have happened doesn't matter because it will never come to pass.
I agree with you fully. That is exactly right. However that same way of thinking can be reversed.

You're missing the point.

Which point?

Which point?
"The Chaos Theory" has nothing to do with the argument that it is worthwhile to kill one person in order to stop him/her from killing more people. That was the point that MicAarZur was getting at, and if you hadn't argued about an irrelevant topic you would have seen that.
Wow, my question has been ignored for like 6 posts.
