I was speaking with a friend about the sentencing of Saddam Hussein. And we were discussing whether or not Hussein will be hung. He brought forth an interesting Idea.
But before I discuss it I would like to take an opinion poll on the matter.

If you have time I would also be glad to hear your reasoning on your choice.
I came across your blog and noticed a common spelling mistake. When a person is executed through death by hanging it is said that he has been hanged. The word “hung” is used for items that you would normally hang. For example, “he hung up his coat” or “she hung up the laundry to dry”.
So the proper wording for the sentence above should be: “And we were discussing whether or not Hussein will be hanged.
