should Sadam get a trial?

Should Sadam Get a Trial? I say no,what he done is so wrong. Even though this country gives him the right to hava a trial he shouldn't have a trial. He has been in the U.S. for too long! We should give him back to Irag [COLOR=Red]SO HE CAN HAVE NO MERCY![/COLOR] What do yyou think should happen?

Ummm... I think since he is on American soil he wont get cruel and unusual punishment. But he wont have to much mercy when he drops the soap.

[SIZE=2][FONT=Georgia]It doesn't matter who the person is. Everyone should get a fair trial.

For those of you who have read it, this reminds me of Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird". For those of you who haven't, the event I'm referring to is the trial of an African-American man during the 1920-1930 time period, where black people were considered inferior. Usually, no matter what the blacks said or whether they were clearly innocent, they were convicted just because of their skin color.

The same thing is happening here. Sure, he may be guilty, but there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to deny the man a proper trial. And shame on you, lee123, as a fellow American, to even suggest such an obstruction of justice. Saddam Hussein is a human being, like you and me, and should be treated as such. While I share your contempt for his actions, we should a least give him a chance of redemption, or at least to tell his side of the story.[/FONT][/SIZE]

I agree. He may have been a tyrannical dictator, but if people are going to charge him for war crimes, he deserves a trial, regardless of how much of a circus it is. I would think that having a fair trial is a human right.

What I look forward to now is the impeachment of George Bush. As I said in your other thread, Lee, I find Bush to be just as guilty of war crimes. Perhaps you all may not understand my logic, but I strongly and passionately oppose what's going on in the middle east. But I'm allready worried that I may have offended some in the other thread, so I'm going to leave it at that.

On topic: I feel that regardless of how terrible the crime everybody has the right to a trial. Without a trial it reduces all of us to the same level of those breaking the laws.

i agree with Panda, what would make us diffrent from Saddam and other people like him if we stooped to his level?

We are humans, logic and reason seperate us from animals. We don't kill needlessly and have no qualms about it. A person knows the diffrence from right and wrong and has a feeling a responsability.
