hmm not a cool thing to discuss but i think nobody deserves to hang, just set him in prison for the rest of his life. However, who's footing the bill? On average, a prisoner costs about Eur 30,000 per year in West European countries. In the USA $35 to 45,000. In places like North Korea, Cuba, Myanmar, Turkmenistan and Iran the annual cost is roughly $10 per year. An option is then to export prisoners for life to these cheap countries, but I assume Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch will go berserk. The other problem with such prisoners is that the risk of idiots kidnapping innocent civilians in order to exchange them for their favorite villains is pretty high. To get rid of them may still be the best solution, but of course we want them to suffer for a long time and as much as they have had their victims suffer. What about a one-way ticket to the moon? |

Which would you prefer - executing bureaucrats who file paperwork that kills people, the folks who did the killing or the leaders who ordered it? Let's agree that executing leaders is at best a political compromise and is in no way practically related to the actual crimes and events. Our record seems at best spotty on this. Duvallier in Hati gets exiled, Castro shoots Batista's officials summarily, Milosevic dies in prison defending himself, the Rwandans have a soft policy that punishes few if any, the Iraqis are hanging a few, West African nations kick out each other's leaders then offer them sanctuary, Pinochet couldn't be held to trial, Stroessner was exiled to Brazil and so on and so on.
