I'm sure you could, if everyone agreed to it, in the case of the Internation Criminal Court itself, you can't, anything up to life imprisonment and the payment of reparations to the victims.

What's really depressing, in the case of Saddam, is that it turns out that killing him was able to make the situation worse. Just when you think the bottom of the barrel has been reached...

If Hellbunny is capable of polite discussion, I'd be interested in where ze's strong sense of moral absolutism on this matter comes from. Would ze see any difference between the death by hanging of a Saddam Hussein and the death by hanging of a completely different and innocent man?

And perhaps the moral case for capital punishment might be better discussed in the Head Shop.

I'm capable of polite discussion with anyone except Slim, who I think is an objectionable cretin (as I think I've made clear). If there's a thread on capital punishment either extant or about to be started, I'm happy to contribute as far as time and interest allows, but I've not enough of either to start one.
