When you consider it was the US who placed him in power when they already knew he was a violent thug, - there is nothing "good" in this "achievement".
As far as a trial, he may have a trial, but that again, has been put in place by the US. The US is not willing to have anything other than "showcase trials" in Iraq and is already subject to citicism worldwide. Judges have been appointed with nada experience of human rights/genicide issues under the US occupation of that country.
Saddam in a way is meaningless, since he was the "friend" of the US who implented their wishes as was needed over time. He does need a trial, - even if that is a matter of respect to those he has killed. Tho there are serious doubts about any "trials" of Saddam or others by the US, when it was the US who "enabled" him for their own selfish reasons.

While some of this is very true, it's also unfair. Sometimes you have to pick the lesser of two evils.
