So Saddam Hussein is sentenced to death. Well, everyone knew that was coming. I wonder how much longer they'll make him wait. I think that's the cruellest thing about the death sentence. Just waiting for that time to tick out, hope after hope being crushed. I'm not saying he hasn't done terrible things or that he doesn't deserve it. Just commenting

He does deserve it, but I wonder how much worse is it to be "king"--then shoved in a jail cell and sentenced to death. That has to be terrible for him I think. He seems prideful, so stripping him of everything on top of his death sentence--I can imagine his fury.

Probably a very angry man pacing around his cell.

You're right.

I think Saddam's punishment fits the crime, but I can't see any point in degrading him any further. Really, would good would come of it? He's a really bad person, yes, but that is no reason for us to follow his example.

I've always thought there was something futile about the death sentence, because it doesn't undo the bad things the deathrow boys have done. I guess I've got a mentality that it's not worth becoming a killer over people as worthless as them, but their deaths might give some closure to those who have suffered as a result.
