Yahoo! News - Bush: Saddam Deserves 'Ultimate Penalty'
: "'Let's just see what penalty he gets, but I think he ought to receive the ultimate penalty ... for what he has done to his people,' Bush said. 'I mean, he is a torturer, a murderer, they had rape rooms. This is a disgusting tyrant who deserves justice, the ultimate justice.' "

Ah, the death penalty again. If anyone deserves it, he does. but what will it gain us? What will it prove? That we can do what he did--kill people?

Why is it that the rest of the industrialized world rejects the death penalty, while we join the despots and tyrants of the world in supporting it?
