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.

That's the good thing about being in denial, you can define an individual as a threat to the West and then once he's been hung state he has no followers, no matter what happens, you're always in the right.
Either way it's all fine and dandy now, Iraqis are dancing in the streets exchanging flowers and kisses and the coalition forces will be home on Wednesday.
Oh, wait...
