[/ QUOTE ]
It's debatable whether or not capital punishment can be considered "barbaric".
Do you disagree with the general idea of banning "cruel (1) and unusual punishment" as the U.S 8th Ammendment (and many other countries constitutions) do?
Notes: (1)first internet definition of barbaric was cruel, see:
http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/barbaric.html
though the second definiton fits more with the roots of the word" "uncivilized: uncivilized or unsophisticated when compared to highly developed civilizations"
