Humiliated?? I wonder if the women he had beheaded, slowly with a dull blade felt humiliation. What about the soccer team he executed because they lost? Or the child who had to watch her mother beaten raped and tortured and die before her and she had to leave the body because if she moved her mothers body, the little girl would suffer the same fate. What about the thousands of Kurd slaughtered and their "humiliation" Sadaam was a Hitler. Would you ask the same thing about Hitler?

Well, I think it's safe to say that since Sadam killed and tortured so many people he deserved to have the same fate happen to him. But once he was captured and removed from power - does a government have the right to kill one of it's citizens?

One point you have missed is that he wasn't humiliated at all. To many Sunni Muslims he has achieved instant martyrdom. Even some conservative newspapers have said that he died with dignity.
Did he deserve to die? I'm not sure. Keeping him alive and in prison would have cost money and manpower, so in that respect, maybe the death sentence was the simplest solution. I don't support the death penalty personally, so my personal opinion would be not and certainly from the point of view of the battle for Muslim 'hearts and minds' (sorry for the soundbyte), hanging him was a massive miscalculation.

What I don't understand is how so called "Christians, living the Christian life" can take enjoyment in this event. Isn't it talking out of both sides of your mouth? Yes, the man was evil, he did terrible things. But how do you, as a human, find enjoyment in this process?

He is lucky he didn't get worse. He was evil personified. No matter what your religion or belief I am convinced that deep down alot of people were letting out signs of relief that that kind of evil was gone from this life.
His sons were horrible and he was cruel. Thank God he is over.

First of all, yes, he deserved to die. Did he deserve to die with apparent dignity like he did, No. He deserved to die like a dog. If it were me as the person carrying out his execution, I would have done to him everything that he did to his own people. Limb removal, Tongue removal, Hair being ripped out, shot in the gut, dropped from a building, gassed, implode a building ontop of him, dig out his remains and behead him! Thank you Charles for putting up that link. I watched in horror,(And I'm a horror writer, figure that one out.) each of the vieos from that site. I was unable to finish my breakfast but I'm glad I viewed them. I was in Operation Desert Storm and had a skud missile land and detonate 3 miles from my unit's perimeter. He wanted us DEAD! He didn't even know us. He didn't have to. We were American's and that was reason enough to him for us to die. I have said it before and I will say it again. If you ever want to meet the Devil Go talk to a Muslim. They are the only religion out there that are killing people for disagreeing or not seeing eye to eye with them. If you disagree with them, the Quran says that you are the infadel and they must kill you. But it's a "Peaceful" and "Tollerant" Religion. BS. How many Baptists or Lutherans or Catholics, or Presbyterians do you see hijacking air planes and crashing them into buildings because the people on board disagree with them, or are from a country where the majority of the people know how to think for themselves, and are free to worship as they choose. It is all mind control. That is what the Arab countries preach. "You are too ignorant to make your own choices in life, so we will make them for you." He is in Hell right now begging for mercy right along side of Adolf Hitler's coward butt! And that's where he needs to be.

No, he should have been given a mansion and servants and all the money he can use.
OF COURSE HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED. Please, his sons raped girls and put people into wood chippers while they were still alive! He was an arrogant SOB who murdered women and children. Good riddance!

No.
What needed to be done is what he did to those people he had murdered. First starve him. Then beat him. Then torture him. Lastly, throw him in a ditch along with his co-conspirators and let him die in that pit and rot.
