Its only going to escalate it.

How many other dictators have been executed recently?
Last one I remember was caucescu (SP?) in Romania.

My main problem here is that currently I am against the death penalty, but in the future I could be for it again. I just cant make my mind up.

I also don't think hanging is a suitable method of execution in 2006.

Its a no win situation, no one is really going to defend the guy because he's a mass murderer, however killing him is only goping to have grave consequences for Iraq.
