Saddam hangs

I think all convicted to the death sentence should be put to death as efficiently and quickly as Saddam. There are hundreds of people that have sucked off the teet of the tax payers for too many years for no good reason.

Hooskins...do you not beleive in the death penalty...and if so, why not?

The smartest thing any government can do is seperate church and state. The entire middle east is governed by some sort of theocracy, and It's a dead end concept.

I'm curious to see how the new government in Iraq evolves...

It could follow the more egypt-esque style government, or go straight to the constitutional theocracy that Iran has. I'm really pulling for the former.

The middle east is run by crooks of Benny Hinn caliber. They break more Islamic law in a day than most people do in a life time. There are a gazillion princes, most of whom spend lots of money boozing up and chasing women. Their moral compass pointed at the direction of self preservation and that's just the way our government likes it.

As for Egypt, well, what a shit hole it is. I have lived their for bit and let me tell you, the poor are very poor and the rich are very rich and the gap is getting wider. Bribery is a common theme in most transactions not to mention the fact that Egypt has had two presidents in the last 37 years. The current president, Hosni Mubarak, being in office for 26 years.

Oh and there was a recent scandal were Mubarak tried to "pass" the presidency to his son. Kinda easy thing to do when your party controls the government and you have been scratching balls all your life. The least the party could do is massage your son's balls just a tad bit. One thing is definitely clear though and that is Mubarak is very clever and knows how to scratch American balls. God help anyone modeling their government after Egypt.

That's why I can maybe understand hanging his ass so quickly as an exception...

I would waste no more thought or space in my head. He gave no quarter, and recieved none. fair deal

Unfortunately, our system is so F'd up, you cannot force them to work. Additionally, private companies have sued the prison system because of displaced jobs in the private sector being taken by the prison system. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder whats wrong with this pic?

Just gotta post my two cents on capital punishment:

1. The government should NEVER have the power to kill it's own people -- too much power for the gov't.

2. People make mistakes. Therefore, it will always be possible to execute an innocent man. How can anyone argue FOR capital punishment when innocent men will die? Simple -- you just can't.

Our current system is a joke. What is your suggestion?
