That's interesting. You learn something every day. What is the approximate date of Hammurabi's Code?
Sorry for the (hopefully) quick hijack.
Never mind...I had time to Google it and it says about 1780 BC

Ok, all you anti-capital punishment mushy-mushies are making me feel bad.
I personally think that hanging is too nice of a way for him to go. But then again, I'm a blood to quench the masses kind of person. He needs to pay for what he did, and all that.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. I wouldn't mind knowing he was spending the rest of his life rotting in a jail cell... somehow killing him seems to be giving him the easy way out. Like someone said above, I also worry that in his death he'll become a martyr for extremists and encourage more violence.

Hmm, he must have been miss understood as a child! 
What is amazing if anyone cares, this was the cradle of the rise of a Relegious "Awakening"?
He will be a martyer for some and not others, Si?
He is physoctic and no doubt about it.
But, in his own mind He did nothing wrong as a head of state.

Jesse Jackson says Saddam shouldn't be executed
Jesse Jackson says Saddam shouldn't be executed
CHICAGO The Reverend Jesse Jackson says U-S forces should not turn Saddam Hussein over to the Iraqi government for execution.
Jackson says that to allow the former Iraqi leader to be hanged as what he calls "a war trophy" would be a "barbarity" that would only inflame tensions.
Jackson says making Saddam spend the rest of his life in prison would be a better way to "break the cycle of violence in Iraq."

Looks like it's going to be tonight now.
I'm against the death penalty overall. I think they should make him live in the hole they found him in for the rest of his years, well guarded, of course.

I agree. In fact, hanging him again and again until he pays back all for what he did...actually, I don't think he can even do that for the horrible things he did...I mean, who actually takes an innocent person, stab the person with a long sword into their body, and have them walking around in a party laughing at them, and let them die? and if they don't do it, he will kill his whole family?
He deserves it...he deserves to rot in hell....
