But that's like saying you can't arrest and jail someone for kidnapping because that will also be hypocritical.

I see the muppet Bush saying it was a great day for justice and exiled Iraqi calling for us all to celebrate, well tbh I don't find much joy in someone's death even if they are a monster and I certainly don't think it very appropriate for someone who calls themselves a Christian to say its a great day, mind you this is the bloke who 'doesn't regret a single death sentence I (Bush) signed'

Its not a great day because of the execution, its a great day because Iraqis have dealth with it themselves. They wanted hanging, and that's what they got. If Saddam was tried at the ICC and given a life sentence, particuarlly at the behest of any coalition country, it will mean lefties would claim its another example of hegemony. That's the good thing about being on the left, no matter what happens, you're always in the right.
You also say you aren't happy, however, there are plenty of Iraqis, who both escaped or survived Saddam who say they are very happy, I don't think I behgrudge them that.
Also, Saddam has no followers. Saddam oppressed the Sunnis like he opressed everyone else. They are just bloodthirsty sickos who are using Saddam as an excuse.
