Very true. I guess there is always an issue over what benchmark they will use for sentencing though? If he gets life imprisonment, does that put him in the same category as someone who has killed three people for example? And on the flipside, anyone who is jailed for life for a lesser crime (and I can't think of a crime that wouldn't count as "lesser") would probably feel indignant at getting the same treatment as Saddam, in such an instance.
