Sic Semper Tyranus. There is something both base and satisfying about seeing a tyrant meet his end. Enjoy.

Stick to the ideas being expressed and you should be okay. Get personal and you might not like the results. Thanks for reading.Sorry, but I disagree. If Saddam Hussein had been kept alive indefinitely in captivity, the only result would have been repeated cases of die-hard Baathists abducting people as hostages in order to demand his release. Thus, even out of power, he would have continued to cause the terrorization and death of more innocent people.
The execution of duly-convicted criminals is not "murder" any more than the imprisonment of duly-convicted lesser felons is "kidnapping" or the imposition of fines on petty offenders is "theft".
I have a sort of "obituary" of Saddam Hussein posted on my site, if anyone wants to read more of how I view this execution.
