16,273 Iraqi civilians died in 2006 alone and just under 60,000 civilians have died in total since the beginning of the American occupation of Iraq :

On the penultimate day of the year, Saddam Hussein was executed after an illegal trial fixed and supported by a US government that had him hanged and therefore swiftly silenced before any pending trials revealed the extent to which American arms companies had been working with the totalitarian dictator until very recently, thus avoiding any embarassment.

Given the total disaster and the fact that the number of US soldiers alone (not to mention Iraqis) who have died in Iraq is now greater than the number of people who died in the WTC on 911, and given that this war was illegal according to international war and there were, in fact, no WMD in Iraq, does Saddam's execution alone justify the war?
