Justice - But Wrong Punishment. At last, justice has arrived to Saddam Hussein by the decision from the court. Among several bad signs from Iraq, this is a good one, since it is the rule of law. Unfortunately, they decided on the death penalty. I think that this punishment is wrong in principle and should not be allowed in democratic states. In this case, in particular, I think it would have been a better signal if he had been sentence to life imprisonment. It would have been the opposite of his own rule of death and a sign of a new and humane society.
