As Maximus says, it's suck it and see time in the US, and Bush is terrified, so this is a big result for him. Unfortunatly however much you detest Saddam,( and I do),it was not a
fair trial so the verdict is at best meaningless and at worst nothing better than he was prone to doing himself with his enemies.When we will ever learn that if we are to successfully co-exist anywhere then we have to be at least to be practising what we preach. Only the US and UK govts appear to think this was a credible trial, and as the Iraqi people don't, it'll just lead to more bloodshed.

I was hoping for a sentence of life imprisonment. That may have shown the world that the Iraqi leadership was moving forward and was making an effort to leave the era of judicial killing and brutality in the past. A sentence of death has shown that the new leadership is still in that era of officially sanctioned death that was so characteristic of Saddam.
The murder and violence in Iraq must stop sometime. I thought that a life sentence may have been an opportunity to start that process. It would have been a slight chance I know, but this sentence will probably only serve to continue the violence.
All that aside, I have no sympathy for Saddam. Good riddance!

ward minter are you taking the peess here as nox suggests or do you really want to see 1.3 billion dead people. You think there will be peace then?
Oh by the way, Iraq was a secular country, not like the UK.
So it was not an islamic state but hey why let the facts get in the way.
To answer the question, Saddam should have been tried in the hague by international courts with international judges. Then a guilty verdict with due process would have more credibility.

I don't think hanging Saddam will resolve anything. I agree with matt66 that his trial would have been handled better at the Hague...
I think much of the crisis in the middle east is caused by tension and imbalance of power, of America calling the shots all the time and Israel bombing countries like Lebanon with no fear of consequences.... I think if Iran were to succeed in pursuing nuclear power this would result in a definite change in the middle east, as America would finally meet its match (like North Korea) and there would no longer be any threat of wars breaking out, hence stability in the middle east.

I agree with admarlow.
The fact that he has been tried in his own country speaks volumes ~ it is what they want. If he went to international court the repercussions could be horrendous..although we have seen this already with the war & still we hear/see the killings in Iraq ~ however this is war, which has to be different to the genocide committed by Saddam.
He can hang for all I care. He killed at least 300,000 people during his dictatorship. Mind you, if the CTs are to be believed then we could say that Bush killed 3,000 in one morning ;o)
