I'd like to think that everything we do somehow contributes to us moving forward and making the world a better place. Even though the punishment was well deserved for what he did, I don't think killing Saddam makes us or the world any better. I guess that's why I'm so uncomfortable with the whole thing.

To prove it we're going to humiliate you, torture you and then kill you. Hey, Saddam - humiliating, torturing and killing people is wrong.

I do know that un-natural death is horrible. The thing that makes me mad about the whole situation is the hypocrisy of the Australian government. When the Bali drug runners are up for similar sentences, there will be diplomatic talks, public appeals and tearful mums in the newspapers. There will be condemnation of the death penalty. But since we don't like Saddam, we "are pleased" with his death. There is also a futility to it all- another body for the body count. And it will not stop counting- already Saddam is a martyr with revenge killings and car bombs exploding in Iraq. The circle of violence continues, perhaps even accelerated. Only time will tell. Punishment, yes, it was needed. But he will not be tried for other crimes, such as for genocide against the Kurds. He should have been imprisoned for life in the Haig, to die an in-glorious non-martyr death from old age, like Milosovic. This hanging neither proves nor accomplishes anything.

They're supposed to bring justice. Killing him doesn't rewing the things he's done, but nothing will. The purpose of execution is to bring upon the biggest punishment allowable. So no, they don't make us any better, they don't bring back all the people he's killed, but it does punish him, and that's the point. Executions aren’t supposed to make us any better.
