Saddam Hussein should have be condemned to jail, and should have been tried for the chemical attacks on 170,000 Kurds with American chemical weapons, not only for reprisal against the 150-ish who attempted to kill him.
His trial was even more ridiculous than Stalin era trials were. A shame (one more) for America. But the truth is that American leaders just didn't want this trial to take place (a trial where they may have been asked to give their testimony).
Watch this photo: S. Hussein and D. Rumsfeld shaking hands. They used to be good friends, you know!

Also to say, to be fair, that the 10 years Americain blocus killed far more Iraqi civilians than Saddam Hussein ever did.
