should Saddam Hissein have been hung?

this one's easy.
the trial--if you want to call it that--was a travesty.
there was not even the pretense of "justice".
it was a stalin-worthy show trial, a joke, a hamfisted matter of political expediency.
all this and i dont doubt that hussein was a brutal dictator--with full american support so long as he was convenient of course.
so this would be one of the worst possible examples to support your position, shani.
and any single instance is simply going to function to avoid the problems that have been raised repeatedly in the thread about the system-wide implementation of the death penalty in the states.
maybe try justifying the simple fact that it is OVERWHELMINGLY poor folk who are on death row in the states--or address bor's post above this one.
