I'm not really a proponent of the death penalty, but if anybody deserves it then people like Saddam Hussein do. And regardless of the quality of the trial I don't really harbor any doubt as to his crimes.
It was faster than Pinochet and slower than Ceauşescu.
I would have preferred a more dignified proceeding but that would have required removing him and trying him internationally which wouldn't be great either.
I do think they should have stayed the execution and allowed him to be tried on more charges though. Not necessarily every possible one, but more of them.
