Just a little side note.....he's already being called a martyr by many in the middle east.
Do you think his death will help curb terrorism? Or fan the flames?

The Nazis received fair trials, which is more than can be said for what Saddam received. Add to that, he was executed on an islamic "holy day" on which criminals are usually pardoned and forgiveness is encourages; the execution is an insult to both Sunnis _and_ Shia.
Things aren't going to get better in Iraq, they going to get worse. The Sunnis are going to be even angrier than before and the number of bombings will only increase. In all likelihood, the number of US soldiers killed by January 2008 will be at least 5000...unless, of course, they get smart and leave.

perhaps i'm naive, yet I do merely not see the possibility of Saddam turning out to be a martyr as Germany and Egypt have reported. To grow to be a martyr, you may stand for something. Saddam did not. there's no "concept" in the back of Saddam to maintain on now that he's long previous. even nonetheless i think of we've been incorrect in killing him (i don't think of Capital Punishment is American, Christian, or ethical), i don't think of even his supporters are zealous adequate approximately him to make him their martyr. the yank and Iraqis way of executing Saddam would reason the violence to enhance in Iraq, even nonetheless it has greater to do with our errors, not his righteousness. they have have been given adequate motives to combat, they don't could function a martyr as yet another reason.

I don't think there was any other way for this to end. He deserved the death penalty, and I believe he was already being considered a martyr by the Sunnis.

He was not made into a martyr. He died like a coward and the world is better now that a genocidal dictator was brought to justice
Hell, the UN ignored Saddam, they ignored Rwanda, they ignored Bosnia, they ignored Herzegovina, and they are currently ignoring Darfur.
The US has done great things in turning this mad man over to the Iraqis so they could bring him to justice

First of all I would not consider him a martyr. Though I do think he deserved what he got I also believe vengeance belongs to God. He hurt many people though He did deserve some form of punishment and I am sure there are many people who are happy with the punishment he received for what he did to them and their families.

He thought he would become a martyr after his death, but in all reality, he's nothing more than another monster that's gettingt his just rewards in hell.

A martyr in whose eyes?
A terrorist?
They can have all the martyrs they want.

Doesn't seem to be much of a martyr at the moment, rather an executed sympathy case of the west.

No I don't think so. I do think that Sadam Hussein definitely deserved everything he had coming to him. As they say and eye for an eye.

He would be a martyr if U.S. troops killed him. But he was killed by his own court and his own people. Many people would love to do it personally in Iraq. He was a prick, but the speed they did it with and the way they did it left a bad taste in my mouth..
