Am I the only one who doesn't care if/when Saddam is executed?
And I the only one who is a wee bit concerned about the [probable] aftermath of said executation and a possible attack on US soil? No, I am not going to hide - but I am a bit concerned.

So which is it, do you care or not? Personally, I doubt there will be much backlash against Americans beyond troops getting caught in the crossfire. Most of the hate in that particular struggle is directed inward at each other.

I didn't express my thought well.

I don't care if/when he is (for all I care he could rot in jail; but I could see potential hostage situations of release Saddam or we kill everyone), but I am concerned about the aftermath and our troops being caught in it. The entire world doesn't see this as a legitimate trial by the Iraqi's. There is still a belief that America was pulling the puppet strings.

Saddam Hussein has been executed.

A "legitimate trial" by the Iraqis would have been no trial at all.
