Hussein is sentenced to death
Saddam Hussein was sentenced on Sunday to death by hanging, along with three other men. One is his half brother. He was found guilty of crimes against humanity for his twenty-four year reign in Iraq.
The trial aroused many different emotions. Hussein yelled angry outbursts after he heard the verdict, damning the judge and his court and proclaiming that "God is great." Many people agreed with Hussein's notion that "God is great"- only because they knew Hussein was going to die and that justice was served.
Some people believe that for Hussein, only a matter of months lie between life and death. What do you think about the verdict? How do you feel about how long it would take for him to be killed? Does it matter?
