I thought I was against the death penalty. But I have realised I'm not, because I think Saddam Hussein should die. He is responsible for the torture, sexual degradation, mutilation, pain, humiliation and extermination of tens of thousands of people. Those who have survived will not be able to relax until he's gone - because he is so wiley, so powerful that if he were to remain alive in captivity, he would surely bribe or influence his way to an escape.

I admire people who are universally opposed to the death penalty, but in this case I can't go along with that view. I think he should be executed.
