#1 Let's compromise and do both.

#2 Sorry, firing squad is for spies caught during wartime, deserting soldiers, and the like. Common criminals like yourself get the noose.

I wonder if he's rehearsing his last words yet.

#3 I would prefer keelhauling in shark infested waters.

#4 Run 'im through the wood chipper ... feet first.

#5 Nope! He deserves nothing but the best. Give him to the towns he terrorized and let them stone him, drag him through the streets, hang him from a bridge, and light fire to him. He always thought it was fun, why not.

#6 Now just what the Hell makes him think he's got any choice in the matter.

#7 On Thursday, Saddam insisted that he had been beaten by his US captors, and insisted if this is to continue that SPC Lindy England be recalled to active duty to take part.

#8 "First we hang 'im, then we kill 'im!"

#9 Call me a traditionalist, but I like the idea of him being slowly lowered into a vat of pig offal until his lower body rots off. When he dies, allow his entire body to be turned to sludge in the vat, then remove his bones, grind them, and return them to the vat. Then incinerate the pig offal.

Well, it might have been a tradition somewhere.

#10 Keep him alive!

I'm against the death penalty for one reason. It's a bit of a let-off. Let him live the rest of his life of a tryptophan restricted diet.

#11 "I'm not afraid of death and facing a firing squad is the right way to execute a military man â a commander in chief."

Being plucked from a spider hole isn't exactly becoming of a military man either, so there is some precedent. I say cap him at close range with a pistol with none of the formality of a firing squad.

#12 Gut shot. Let him think about it.

#13 I think using a gas chamber would have a feeling of poetic justice.

#14 A hanging was good enough for Japanese and German war criminals. It is good enough for Saddam.

#15 Dust off that big tree shredder/chopper he used to use. We're all about choice. What will it be Saddam:

Feet first: (____)
Head frist: (____)

You decide.

#16 With 100,000 Sunnis demonstrating against the election today, I'd grant his wish -- right now.

#17 Make him wear speedos and pantyhose on a tour around the country, then burn him at the stake.

#18 Maybe put him back in the spiderhole and leave him there this time until he's ripe.

#19 Put a blonde wig and an evening gown on him, then fly him to Washington and have him sing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to W. Then send the tape to Al-Jazzera.
You won't have to kill him after that. He'll do it himself...

#20 Give him to the women.

(shudder)

#21 No ceremony, round behind the ear at 02:00. Buried in unmarked grave.

#22 Um, forget the grave, cremate.

#23 If this Saddam dies, there will be other Saddams..." I cringe with the truth in this sentiment.
I like 49 Pan's suggestion, mixed with a little of 'moose's suggestion thrown in for good measure.

#24 a slow knowing painful death is best - my favorite is a 3/8" drill bit in a Craftsman cordless drill to the forehead....nice thing is Craftsman are guaranteed for life (heh heh ) so if it quits or breaks - they'll replace it at no charge and you can get back to it...

#25 Acctually, if the Shias name the Prime Minister, they might decide to use their brother Iranian's method of hanging by construction crane...

After all, make getting at the tasty meat easier for the vultures, buzzards, and crows.

I remember this pix. This guy was a child molestor-murderer. Good riddance, no matter what country you are in. We should do this to Westerfield...

#26 If this Saddam dies, there will be other Saddams..."

You know, there's something to this. Whatever happened to his doubles, I wonder. Should they be hanged too, just in case? Poor fellas...all those plastic surgeries for nothing.

#27 General Andrew Jackson once caught a British officer inciting,the florida indians, to riot. Jackson caught him in the indians village, the officer asked to be shot as it is more dignified than hanging, Jackson appearantly agreed and the day of the execution came himself and hung the man...

I like the way that man thinks,

Saddam should be given no mercy, and it should be as painful as possible, just cut his vocal chords first.

Nope. We already took care of that.

#30 Hanging, drawing, and quartering sounds about right to me.
