John Howard didn't have anything bad to say about it. He praised the Iraqis for having the bravery to stick to due process.

Beagle et al,
Some of us find humour in his death - I personally couldn't give a **** about the count - I don't know why the top of his head wasn't blown off as he was dragged from his hidey-hole - if you don't like this thread p!ss off and pedal your touchy - feely left wing cr@p elsewhere.

Beags,
Not only do most of the states have the death penalty....a few do not....but in Texas they are building an express lane for those who murder in the presence of three credible witnesses. They get to go to the head of the queue!

Just read the accounts of the number of bungled electric chair executions carried out in the Land of the Free..... Neither quick nor efficient - merely brutal retribution committed by ignorant, incompetent rednecks.
eagle86, I've never been called 'Left wing' before. Far from it. But if that distances me from the type of person your post paints you as, then so be it.

Beags....it should be a bit off-putting when the state gives some one the chop or else we might grow too fond of it!
One recall our nation was founded upon good Christian values including something very akin to the Muslim belief of "An eye for an eye". America being the land of compromise and mixing of ethnic/cultural/social attributes of many races/creeds/religions.....we're just trying to do what most of the citizens see as being the right thing to do. We have elected to punish killers (in most states anyway).

... and still go to church every Sunday morning. Somewhere in the TEN Commandments that your country quotes so freely, is;
THOU SHALT NOT KILL unless the Governer of Texas (insert state as appropriate) deems the killing to be ok.
I'm fairly certain the above is an accurate transcript of Moses' work.
ps. I don't believe, just find the hypocritcal approach amusing.

I agree with BEagle 100%. I think he should have been released from custody and ordered to live with BEagle for eternity. Let's see how liberal you really are. 
Worry about problems in the UK before you start criticizing the U.S.

A pretty weak justification for supporting state-sponsored killing, I feel.
No wonder the rest of the world is growing weary of your view of civilisation.....
A great shame. If only the efforts and energies of your country could be channelled towards something beneficial rather than following its current destructive path under GDubya.

Three....
Perhaps accurate to the iterance of the commandment. Since you are not a believer and therefor have missed the teachings of the commandments....those directives were sent to Man as the guide map towards the conduct of one's life and violation of those commandments were a Sin.
As you might recall, the first two humans were cast out from the Garden of Eden for violating the ban on eating apples from a particular tree.
Thus, within a religious context one can surely expect to be punished for murder which is a Sin....thus the existence of hemp, cyanide, gunpowder, lead, swords and axes. Since our law comes from our religious belief and good Ol' English Common Law except for Louisana....we merely are following the guideposts provided us from our founders.
Convenient of the Big Guy in the Sky to provide us the means to following his teachings, eh? Confirms the thought that the Good Lord will provide for you if you live to his teachings.

Have we forgotten what this guy has been doing for the last twenty odd years ? ...... 
Try a Google with "saddam hussein's crimes" .....
Iraq could be such a prosperous part of the world today (even as a dictatorship) if only SH had been a bit more reasonable in his treatment of his own people and avoided starting a ruinous war every 5 minutes ...... instead he has practically destroyed his country .........

You waste your breath, beagle and his mates are classic examples of why the Western world is in a spiral dive to oblivion - even lost the touch with cricket!!

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Riley:
No, but I wasn't quoting the nutter in charge, but the man in the street.
ORAC- Have you forgotten that Iran is a member of the 'axis of evil' - having a leader who is quit clearly barmy and who would like to turn the sands of Israel into irradiated glass is hardly a country to quote when refering to Saddam!
