I think putting him to death, especially on the special day of Eid ul-Adha, a very important day that marks sacrifice and forgiveness and reunion, was just plain stupid
even more stupid when you consider the fact that the Iraqi tribunal consisted of Shiites (the majority in Iraq and Iran) and then knowing that Saddam Hussein was Sunni. Those two groups already don't get along great.

executing his death sentence on this day, was just a provocation to more violence and it made him a martyr to many, he deserved the death sentence, but considering the circumstances I believe life in prison would be more appropriate

hearing comments from Saddam's 'followers' I can only say one thing about it... 'ignorance is a bitch', but then again, who knows the whole truth these days
