Perhaps Saddam would have done well to remember this in the decades gone by:

Be good to those on your way up, as you never know when you'll meet them on the way down.

And Incongnitas - we are not passing judgement from the armchair, we are merely commenting on the verdict given by the people who lived through his regime for crimes that have been proven as being commit by Saddam Hussain. There is a major difference there, we are certainly not just 'putting our own slant based on our own western democratic position'. Here in our western democratic positions, we no longer carry out capital punishment, yet the majority appear to be supporting the sentance. Surely if we put our slant on it, we would all be trying to stay 'PC' or whatever by yapping on about how it goes against his human rights. He does deserve to die as punishment for his atrocities, so let's hope it happens.
