text: saddam hussein has been sentenced to death by hanging for crimes against humanity? views please. personally i think he got off lightly when i think of how so many have suffered under his tyrrany i do agree with the verdict and think it was inevitable, but that is not to say that it doesn't make me feel a little sick that i'm sitting in the safety of my home looking at a man on tv who has just been told that he will hang in the next 60 days. it should never have been allowed to get this far, our governments should have stopped him decades ago, but instead they decided to sell him weapons, the area of accountability is a lot larger than it looks at first glance
