Saddam Hussein

Many of you may disagree, but in my opinion, it was very WRONG to execute Saddam Hussein. I think it is inappropriate for any individual, community, or nation to have the "right" to put another human being to death. And, I do not believe two wrongs make a right, and I do not believe in an "eye-for-an-eye". Yes, Saddam did some horrible, horrible things in his lifetime. Yet, we, the people who support his execution are not any different.

Justice is never served by one person killing another. It would have been far, far better for Saddam Hussein to have been imprisioned and left there for the remainder of his natural life. I also think that it would have been very useful to attempt to have psychologists study him to learn better how he became the man he became, so as to help other people avoid similar traits.
