What Would You Like To See Done To Saddam?

Recommended Posts

We have a thread to discuss the capture itself, so I started a new thread for this topic.

What would you like to see done to/with Saddam?

I personally love the idea of letting the Iraqi people put him on trial. I hope they convict him, and have a fast, swift public execution.

Somewhere in there, I think it would be awesome if we brought him over to the US for a day or two to visit the White House, and meet President Bush. That would make for some memorable news footage. B|

Your thoughts?

Tar n' feather would be nice...;) (I went into graphic detail here but deleted before I posted [:/])

I dunno, anything that has an end result of 'loss of life' would be preferable...I think the death penalty is warranted. I like the idea of letting the Iraqis do it, too! :)

Let's let him go and then try to catch him again.. I for one enjoy the thrill of the hunt more than the catch



I could picture this!! Let him go in a small enclosed environment and let his people tear gas him...then nerve gas him...then pummel him with rocks...this could be primetime entertainment!! :P

Oh, all right. All right. All right. We'll kill him first and then have tea and biscuits.
MIDDLE HEAD:
Yes.
RIGHT HEAD:
Oh, not biscuits.
LEFT HEAD:
All right. All right, not biscuits, but let's kill him anyway.

Either the Hague or other UN court, or the Iraqi people should try him.

The difficulty I have with the Iraqi people trying them is the stability of the country and the non-existence of any sort of established trial system. I have a fear that they will, out of revenge and not cool headed thought, stone him or, as suggested, gas him. It just doesn't seem to be a good solution at the moment.

The Hague does not have the death penalty, however, and that should be an option in my opinion.

I don't think the US should try him exclusively, in any event.

It really annoys me that they are discussing a trial followed
by possible execution. Oh swell; Give him a stage to spout his
propaganda, followed by making a martyr out him.

The only appropriate punishment is to make him spend the
rest of his life living naked in a monkey cage in the main
square of Baghdad, flinging his feces at hecklers.

What I would like is to see him beheaded with a sword at the base of that toppled statue, after being paraded around Iraq with plenty of rotten vegetables on hand for people to throw.

Or, as a character in Shogun, buried up to his neck and passersby invited to hack away at his neck with a bamboo saw.

Lots of imaginative demises...BUT

Saddam Hussein is technically a Prisoner of War, and by the Convention, cannot be made a spectacle of for public amusement or whatever.

Is he a war criminal? I'm guessing the Hague is getting involved at this point.

I'm hoping he'll be tried in Iraq itself, but other monsters haven't - some have gone to the Hague.

Shh.. don't want Channel 5 or Fox to get any ideas :P

Edited to add:

And yeah, I agree with you ryoder. The death penalty would be too easy a way out for him. He should be imprisoned and humilated like the thousands of people he took captive during his reign of tyranny.

Saddam Hussein is a GREAT intelligence asset. The dude's been around for a long long time, and he knows stuff nobody knows.

Keep this cat alive and in our custody for a while. Treat him very well, and get as much information out of him as possible. Of course, this could take months or even years.

Nothing about executions just yet. This guy is more useful to us alive than dead, at lest for the time being.

Everyone will ask for his life and have a 1000 ways of trying to kill him, etc....

The best bet? Humble him, make him live exactly the opposite life he killed, stole, raped and mamed to get....as far away as possible from the lavish life he was in.

Whatever it is, it needs to be done by legal internatioal war crime laws. We need to be better than he was.

Put him in a small, dank, poorly lit cell with no entertainment or pictures. Give him a job along the lines of scrubbing toilets the rest of his life...
