Fair enough he's been executed, but I'd just like to say - how many bad people are there in the world? Plenty! There's been many who have killed lots of innocent people and been executed as a result, but NONE of it has been shown on TV or whatever, and why? Because it's considered immoral, pointless etc. The only reason Saddam's got shown, and why so many people hate him and not any of the others, is because of the way he's been portrayed far far worse than anyone like him (e.g. Milosevic) - that too primarily in the Western world.
Would I watch the TV clip? NO!

I'd watch the death of ANY evil person. You can't make more than 1000 murders sound any less worse than it is anyway.

But you can at least attempt to treat all the evil people the same, which obviously wasn't the case here.
He certainly deserved to die - but watching the death is a personal choice, and I wouldn't.

Sometimes we can't treat people the same as a result of policies. An example is the death penalty which is outlawed in some countries, UK etc. Whereas in US and Iraq it's that countries choice to have it.
