Dalai Lama appeals for amnesty for Saddam Hussein :: Lobsang Wangyal.com
The Dalai Lama commended the stand of the European Union, who opposes the death penalty, and who calls on Iraq to refrain from carrying out the death sentence passed on Saddam Hussein.The Dalai Lama feels that any criminal activity can be prevented in society without having to resort to the death penalty, and hopes that in the case of Saddam Hussein, as with all others, that human life will be respected and spared.
I think the Dalai Lama’s right, but at this point, what political impact will his death really bring? Iraq is already a puppet state of the US, and really this will not do much more than piss some people off, make a lot happy, and bring an end to his incarceration in US-run prisons.
