Call me crazy but I'm not seeing any justice in that.

Doubt there is any accomplishment PB.
Chances are after his execution there will be an increase in killings in Iraq and most of these victims will be innocent people - killed in response to Saddam's execution.
Sure, there is an arguement that it may be some closure for the families of his victims - but that is not usually the case in reality.
Only my
- Hussein should never have been tried in Iraq, but thru international courts and all alleged offenses tried in these courts and with full witness testimony permitted. The charade of a courtroom in Iraq did not allow victims their say, nor did it reach any level of justice. It's basically "justice Florida style" dumped on Iraq and stage-managed by US govt agents and contractors - a farce. Little doubt Saddam would have been found guilty of some offenses in international courts and the penalty would not attract a death sentence. Again - there is something "just" about that. If guilty, it would be relevent he spend the rest of his life in a jail cell with no chance of release.
PS Saddam is not the only "perp" who needs to stand trial in the ICC - a few other hypocritical leaders need to join him
