Talk about not wanting to waste time. I feel as though he is 'gone already', since his capture he really has shown that he really has no power as he claimed to have: eat bricks, chew on nails, etc.

| BAGHDAD (AP) - Saddam Hussein will be executed by Saturday at the latest, an Iraqi judge said Friday."Saddam will be executed today or tomorrow," said Munir Haddad, a judge on the appeals court that upheld the former dictator's death sentence. "All the measures have been done." |

Wow, well...his death will be officially the end of an era. I read somewhere where he wrote a letter to his people asking them not to hate the Americans for everything they have done, I still wonder if this Saddam is the *real* one.

I don't care how evil a tyrant Saddam was. I will not celebrate the hanging of any human being. I think that is cruel and inhumane.
I am very disappointed of reading about celebrations of Saddam's death in the US, like it is any of their business. This guy was a tyrant all those years ago and now we celebrate his death after a savage war which has led to at least over 650,000 Iraqi lives? I'm sorry, but one life is not worth that many.
Saddam's death should be a stern warning to the US and other Western countries. He will die a symbol of failure of US and British foreign policy on many fronts. He was of course supported by the West for many years, when he was at his worst. Then, when the US decided he wasn't "our" friend after invading oil rich Kuwait, we punished his people. Then after many years of punishing his people we decide to chase Saddam and remove him because Bush and his neo-con mates view Iraq as of strategic importance for their plans in the middle east. This incompetently organised invasion cost 100,000s of lives. And, all for what? One tyrant? And now we celebrate because his own people treat him with the same inhumanity he used on others?
Please excuse me if I dn't jump up and down with joy or crack open a Budweiser to the old tyrant's demise.

Arvhic, if that's your attitude towards the matter, why not view the situation as tieing up a loose end left over from the Cold War. Sure we gave aid to Saddam during his war with Soviet backed Iran, but it's a shorter list of countries the US hasn't given weapons to.

Hitler's death was celebrated nearly world wide after a savage war that cost millions of lives. When comparing Hitler to Saddam, Hitler never dipped anyone in acid or found creative new uses for sodering irons. Compared to what Saddam did to his own people the Holocaust seems humane and orderly. The world is far better place now that Saddam and his spawn have been removed from the human race.
Do I think that Saddam's death will bring peace and stability to Iraq? No, I'm not a complete idiot. The insurgency will last regardless of Saddam's fate so long as there is an element of the population that supports it. Right now there are multiple separate insurgencies operating in Iraq, and they all seem more interested in attacking each other and soft civilian targets than attacking US soldiers.
