I too am against death sentence. To me its just murdering a murderer.
For one, the main aim of punishment should be to teach a person a lesson that what he did was wrong and should not ever happen again. Ofcourse it's totally irrelevant in Saddam's case because he is not in power anymore for the lesson to have any effect.
But on the other hand, whats the point of hanging him? Will it bring back the dead back from his 1982 killings for which his sentence was upheld?
When people get hanged for same reason as Saddam Hussein it's not punishment anymore its revenge.
