I normally wouldn't answer a question with this many answers, as I would have thought other people would have more than covered it. But after reading through the above answers I had to say something.
What the person who claims to be an Iraqi says is probably the most interesting thing here.
I cant get over the irony of people who would claim to be decent, civilised folks taking pleasure in a death sentence. Don't get me wrong, Saddam probably deserves his own private room in hell, but a society that claims to be civilised should set an example, and taking pleasure in the death of another human being is despicable.
Life imprisonment would have been preferable I think.
And lets not forget, with this simplistic 'Saddam is an evil man, America is good' argument, that Saddam Hussein was funded and armed by the US in the eighties, to counter what they considered the biggest threat in the region at the time-Iran.

Geez, Dave, You're a deep thinker aren't you? And really informed in a vacuous , biased, super shallow sort of a way. Does it occur to you that we owe the Shia and Kurdish populations of Iraq for encouraging them to overthrow Saddam back during Desert Storm 1 which caused Saddam to eradicate them? oh wait, they deserved it, because it's all just about oil. It isn't about genocide at all. It never is! But it's just about oil , isn't it, our government's interest in the Middle East? Iran isn't really a threat is it? Hezbollah is just like the boy scouts, right? The missiles they send into Israel don't hurt real people, right? They are home made rockets. They just dream about the stars. They don't hate Jews. And their relation to Iran is just like local scouts to the national, eh? And, uh, hey, where is Iraq, anyway? Or Afghanistan? Hum, on either side of Iran. That's just meaningless BS. Doesn't mean a thing in world politics does it? Gee, maybe the US and other civilized western countries should just make a policy that when a mass murder is convicted, we won't imprison or punish him, because Dave W says he's a martyr. We can establish a lottery and pick them to be lifetime ruler of some screwed up African country, huh? I'd hate to make a mass murder, especially one so prolific as to score on an international scale, into a martyr for all time to come! "Cuz, come on, it just about oil! Oh, and for the record, I believe everything idiots tell me, too, Dave

Feels a little harsh and final. I know he is a very bad man, but the death sentance has been eliminated in most countries for a reason. Are not in a civil society?

Good riddance to a very bad apple so to speak. This scum bag murdered over 3000 of his own people, what would be the point to let him live his life knowing the evil he had done.
Trouble is there is never just one Saddam Hussein, their will be another to fill his shoes.

I agree he should be made to pay for his crimes....hundreds of innocent people died at his hands. But despite American and British intervention in their fight for "Freedom", hundreds of innocents continue to die in a different kind of war...Shite Muslim against Sunni Muslims. These two sects lived quite happily and peacefully side by side until the West intervined. which proves the only person who could keep Iraq and its people in line was ironically Saddam Hussein.
So yes Saddam will and should pay for his crimes, but the Iraqi people will continue to pay for a long time to come. As the unrest caused by the overthrow of Saddam will contunue for a long time to come.................

Bye Bye Saddam

i hate him with all of my soul.
i am an iraqi and i hate him
but i am a christian, and well i am not meant to kill. and i acutally pitied him for being sentenced.
even more i think that death is WAY to good of a punishment for him. i think george bush should be trialled. he's killed tonnes of people in the war, 3 members of my family. and i want him dead. if you ask an iraqi now, most of them would say that they would prefer saddam to be ruling then this war to happen, event thoough they don't like saddam, they would give anything for the life they had before, and no one say i am talking rubbish because i am an iraqi myself and i know.
thanks for letting me take out all that !!!!!!

A good result but it would have been better when they found him if they had just thrown a grenade in his hiding place,saved all the time and trouble.

The trouble is…it will make him a ‘martyr’ in the eyes of his misguided followers & stir up even more trouble in Iraq.
