I don't like the death penalty. The taking of life should never be done lightly, in many parts of the world it is used too often and the burden of proof is set far to low.
But for those who will be up in arms about Saddam Hussein being put to death remember those killed Halabja in 1988, these were not unintentional casualties caught up near a military target, they were civilians targeted in a chemical weapon reprisal attack.
This alone would justify the death penalty in my mind but this was far from all this evil man was responsible for.

A harsh punishment, but probably justified.
Now since we (the west) are in the business of bringing evil dictators to justice how about Robert Mugabe & Kim Jong Il, because evil as Saddam was, if I was to rate the top ten people who I think need to be brought to justice, he would just make the top 10!
Going into other people countries, It's either justified or it's not!
