Yeah, let's just go over to the middle east and kill everyone because they all might have been behind 9/11.

I don't see why people are so happy about him being executed. What has he done that you have ever seen first hand? He could be a made up person and you'd never even know, so why care about it? Yeah, sure, I'm sure that he really is a real person and that he really did terrible things, but I just don't see how people can care when it doesn't affect them. I mean, I guess you could have a relative or friend in Iraq, but the US invaded Iraq, not the other way around. We instigated the fight.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Don't be so easily swayed. Support his execution, sure, that's fine, but be happy about it? That's just silly.

And for you guys talking about Osama: We'll never find him. Honestly, as this Iraq war thing was first started all I could think was "wait, you're not even done taking care of those responsible for 9/11 and now you're making up bull**** about Iraq being behind it?! What the hell?" If we were going to find him, I'm sure we would have by now. He's probably already dead or in hiding where he'll never be found.

Truly, I don't support Saddam's execution. And I'm not too happy about it. Just, well, making conversation, and talking about what COULD'VE happened if 9/11 happened differently, and all that stuff. What do you think the world would be like today if 9/11 never happened?

Anyways, I rest my case; I don't support Saddam's execution, although we should be safe than sorry, and I'm not too happy about it; more life-threatening situations from Saddam's death could possibly happen.

it doesnt matter who instigated the fight, it all started years and years, and yeras ago before pretty much all of us were born, and Saddam began his reign of terror. People often forget what he was charged for BEFORE the 9/11

mass murder

genocide

he ORDERED THE MURDER of over 180 shiite muslims in i believe 1983 (not sure the exact year, but ik early 1980's)

to me, that's good enough to instigate a fight to get him out of power....

do i support the war, hell no
we got him out years ago.....its time we get the heck out of there before we instigate WWIII.

but, to oblige to the post's title, no i do not support the death penalty...

only because i believe rotting in jail for years is a much more grueling punishment that a man of his wickedness deserved.
