Death or Life..??

Yeah so the USA finally get rid of Saddam... The details about which I've blogged previously...
I believe even the worst criminal deserves a fair trial... And yea... I don't believe in death sentences... I would way prefer a criminal to be handed a life term with rigorous imprisonment...
As my friend Tahira put it, A death sentence is like an escape from punishment... her views, echoed by me, suggest that a death sentence is merely a preponement of death... In the sense a person is going to die anyways... death cannot be avoided... And as she says, if hell is real, which i believe to be true, the criminal is going to spend eternity there anyways... And its eternity... The people the dictator opressed will have their moment of joy when they see him dead... but then what..??? The crimes he committed on earth should be paid here itself... Then eternity will come anyways... So I'm heavily in the belief that a life imprisonment would be much better fro a criminal than a death sentence... Thanks Tahu for your opinions...
