I think he should have a Saudi Arabia style beheading.

If he must be executed, it should be in a closed room with a quiet lethal injection, for the reasons stated by Tree Hugger.

Anyone who thinks Saddam is a victim should pull there heads out of there assess. the man is responsible for murder with his own two hands.

Exactly.

A meglomaniac like Saddam does not say anything at face value. Everything has a hidden agenda to reinforce his overblown image of himself. He probably really believes that he is a great Arab Warrior, a modern day Saladin, that will be celebrated in history.

Obviously he is planning his immortality at this point, fully aware of the symbolic effects of the execution that he assumes will come.

The best would be not to execute him but let him grow old in jail.

I think he should die but i kind of agree with you there. Let him grow old in jail. it kinda makes me laugh, instead of him going out like a warrior he goes out like a regular old man. But that would just be for personal entertainment. I think there are allot of people in Iraq that would love to see him die and thats who will decide is fate. It be nice if they would hang him just because he doesnt want that. Either way hes fucked, hes not waking away from this one.

Well no shit, but the great unwashed doesn't always think rationally.

If the trial is fair, he'll be acquitted, the president is immune from prosecution under Iraqi law.
If it's just a kangaroo court, he'll hang, but that's just another way of telling people the law doesn't mean shit.
