Should he be put to death?

I think so. Here is a story on the death of Sadame Hussain. This is being carried out by the Iraq court systems. What do you think?

jasonk said...: I read that the hanging is to take place within 48 hours. They don't mess around in Iraq.; 6:58 PM
Jason said...: He's clearly guilty of crimes against humanity. But I'm like Greg...I'm curious to see what the retaliation will be, if any.; 10:17 PM
Kenny Simpson said...: Greg: Not sure how they will react.; 10:21 PM
Kenny Simpson said...: Roxy: That is funny; 10:21 PM
Kenny Simpson said...: JasonK: Heard it will take place before New Years.; 10:21 PM
Kenny Simpson said...: So is everyone for putting him to death for his crimes? I am, but am surprised if everyone else is.; 10:22 PM
Jason said...: I'm trying hard to flesh out a consistent ethic of human life in my mind. Thus, I'm undecided on the death penalty. I'm just not convinced that Jesus would ever advocate the death of another person, and He's my litmus test for everything.

I probably find a little more validity in the just war theory than some do, though. That said, if I were a proponent of the death penalty, I think you could make a compelling case for Sadaam being "worthy" of death.; 10:27 AM
Kenny Simpson said...: Justin: Correct that Christ does not ever kill anyone in the bible. Several "men of God" do however.; 1:20 PM
Kenny Simpson said...: Jason: I'd say he is worthy of the penalty as well.; 1:21 PM
Roxy Wishum said...: Done.; 9:17 PM
Kenny Simpson said...: He has been executed.; 9:25 PM
