i to dont agree with corpral punishment however i think in this situation where it is obviously the will of majority of iraqi population and such a horiible crime: it seems [not ok] but 'acceptable'. The only reason i dont agree with corpral punishment is because someone can change.. but saddam seem to completly deny he did anything wrong and he may have changed in the future but i think the shias of iraq would have caused twice as much mayhem as the martyrs of saddam. so i guess in a way it is the lesser of two evils:
1) kill saddam, watch his martyrs turn baghdad upside down
2) dont kill saddam, potientually loose control of government, watch as shias throw the dummy out of the pram (protest and turn iraq and the sunni's life hell)
