Depends. If you consider genocide, human rights violations, torture, and mass murder to be the "right reasons", then yes he was. Still not convinced, ask yourself this simple question. Is the world a better place with him gone? That should make it easy for you.

I don't believe it is for us to judge if he was executed for the right reasons. His people prosecuted him, found him guilty and executed him. I don't believe you will be able to get all the facts or evidence presented during his trial. As far as his trial meeting american standards of justice, it probably was a sham but it was according to current Iraqi law. Therefore, I do not believe it is possible for me to give a fair answer to your question. Did I like the guy? No, but he was contained since the Gulf War. There was a no fly zone in place. We had a military task force in Kuwait year round. Sure, he was getting away with sneaking some oil out of country and spending it on his family and lifestyle. However, he was not a direct threat to us as a nation.

Saddam Husein was tried under Iraqi law and found guilty. The penalty for his crimes under Iraqi law was death. He was a citizen of Iraq therefore he must comply with the laws of the country. His death is justified under the law therefore the reasons were right, end of discussion.
This is not a moral debate, if you think that exectution is wrong fair enough, but until the law is changed then it is true and right.

no person with any compassion or experience of honest play could desire to help a individual like Saddam, yet in the hobbies of accuracy, he _did_ enable UN inspectors in for many of the pre war era, and while the prospect of a US led invasion grew extra suitable, he presented to enable them to re enter; (he could desire to have been a bastard yet he wasn't stupid, and knew he'd could desire to provide in). in spite of the shown fact that, Bush and his cohorts refused to correctly known this grant - they wished a war. do no longer forget (and it rather is all on record) Bush and Rumsfelt had planned for the Iraq war long until now 9/11 - the latter journey, nevertheless no longer something to do with Iraq, became into used as a handy excuse for invading. Maps displaying how the oil fields may well be allotted have been additionally arranged way until now 9/11 handed off. So it became into evident that no rely what got here approximately, Iraq might at some point be attacked; and the rationalization is evident to all people with a million/2 a recommendations cellular... i wish each time we refuel our autos we remember that a fraction of that gas has been paid for by the deaths of many US, uk and different troops, to declare no longer something of deaths of tens of hundreds of Iraqi civilians. And the sorrowful certainty is that, in the West, we are actually at way extra probability of Islamic terrorism than we've been ahead of the Iraq war. unavoidably, extra coallition troops will die until now the penny drops that the war can't be gained - in spite of GWB announcing that he is going to "stay the trail". superb words from a guy who dodged the draft, and who does no longer could desire to probability his own existence in Iraq. What a large number! And all so as that SUV's can shop rolling...

Saddam Insane was found guilty of charges preferred by a Court of his own countrymen.
He was sentenced to death by his own countrymen.
And executed by his own countrymen.
This question is not even closely connected to a Military question!!!

The U.S. did not execute Saddam. He was tried, sentenced and executed under Iraqi Law in an Iraqi courtroom by an Iraqi judge. War crimes, conspiracy charges, etc. were NOT charges he faced in those hearings. He was found guilty of multipule counts of murder and was held to the same legal standards as any other citizen of Iraq. The charges were substatiated by evidence, witnesses etc. He was found guilty and executed according to Iraqi law.

it was about him ordering the killing of hundreds of his people
