no he would have had a trial at Nurenburg with the rest of his cohorts...a public trial by people who were not his political rivals; with attorneys that were able to actually live thru the entire trial...competent attorneys. and then he would have been held until appeals were heard.
there was a time we did things with honor...because we aspired to be a better people. we didn't take them summarily to the gas chambers in the concentration camps and throw them in....because we were NOT LIKE THEM...we won by being above them, not by laying in the dirt with them.
Jess - I'm not sure what you are getting at here. Can you explain what you mean a bit further?
Sadam had an appeal and it was not held. The Iraqi law WAS upheld in this instance - while some of us may not agree with it. While members of the defebce team were killed - so were there on the other side - and there was a TEAM in place to ensure that the trial was kept going.
And the gas chambers is exactly what Hitler did. And Sadam. Has anyone holding Sadam and his cohorts done this to the best of our knoweldge?
As I said before - we all have differing opinions in the subject - and there is no right or wrong answer against the death penalty.
That is what a good debate is about - its good we have the opportunity to do this. We wouldn't have in Sadam's Iraq.
