There is a lot of controversy about the execution of Nicolae Ceausescu. I guess he was executed because it was the easiest way to deal with a problematic situation. Don’t get me wrong – he did a lot of damage to Romania, but, in my opinion, he was only a pawn (he was not a very bright man).
Ceausescu was viewed as the symbol of the communist oppression in Romania at that time and, as the revolution came and communism was to be replaced with democracy (at least theoretically), he had to be “done away with”.

For more information about Ceausescu and the Romanian Revolution in 1989, you can check these websites:

“Christmas Day 1989 represents for many Romanians ‘the day of liberation’, as it was the day when the dictator couple Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were executed, and thus left Romania free after a 25-year harsh Communist dictatorship. Considered a “most-favored nation” by the West, what took place during their reign was something many in the Capitalist part of the world never were aware of. Not only had the Romanians been exposed to severe living conditions, but they had also been ‘forced’ to love their leaders as they had built up an immense personality cult apparatus around themselves.”

Because he impoverished his own citizens, though I know he is not the only one, and a least he didn't build military bases for American soldiers on his peoples' expense.

He was a very good friend of Mother Theresa. Probably some anti-Mother Theresa thugs wanted him offed.
