write your own paper, but I will give you a bit of direction.
Rushing him off to be executed like they did, without an outside group making sure the trial operated flawlessly, showed a conflict with human rights in itself.
first of all, the people he was going to be tried by, were all people who had animosity against him int he first place. In America, we wouldn't even be able to be tried under such conditions. its not a fair trial.
second, there has never been anyone like Saddam with an ideology of hate, that was executed, and didn't immortalize his ideology. his execution made him a martyr, and insured that he will never be forgotten.
to never be forgotten in death, is the goal of all humans, whether they admit ti or not. and to be a martyr is the goal of all those Islamic fundies in the middle east. He got what all men strive for, and what islamic fundies do.

I think is was OK, but you can make the following arguement. a 300 word essay is really short, so just focus on one issue, and do so with fervor. Saladin once said that kings do not kill kings, and regicide is a crime. Call him a president, dictator, or whatever you want to.....regicide then is killing a head of state now. The action of killing Saddam allows other governments to make moral equivilance aarguements when they do the same. The PLO could kidnap Burak of Israel, claim he was a war criminal, try him, then execute him, and cite the execution of Saddam as justice. This could be a unique point that most others will not focus on, and can allow you to carry the day.

I think that the question is one for or against capital punishment. One cannot argue the right or wrong of one person's execution, it needs to be a discussion of the issue in and of itself.
I, for one, do not believe that man has the right to kill another man. In the case of capital punishment, it is punishing a crime with exactly the same crime! Hypocritical at its core.
Was Saddam an evil dictator? Yes. Did he kill many innocent lives? Yes. Does that give us the right to do the same thing? No.

Because promoting murderers and showing killings on TV is wrong. Because the previous regime killed people and showed it on TV, and so does the new one. What is the difference between them, then? Just slogans? If one regime was bad and killings and executions were bad, how come that the "good" regime does the same. Nothing changed, then, just the slogans? Before it was "kill for faith", now - "kill for freedom"?
You can expand any of these.

i find executions weird. The people who are executed are usually people who've committed some pretty serious crimes, but unlike jail sentences where you (should) receive a longer term for a bigger crime, you can only be executed once. So if you killed one person or thousands, you still get the same punishment.

How about this for a starter: Saddam's execution was much to quick and painless. He should have been tortured for months like he did to his citizens.
