"What are we executing him for again?"
"He executed thousands of others."
"Ah."
It would be utterly ridiculous to execute Saddam. On a very basic level, we would be executing him for executing others. Which is, at the very least, hypocritical. How we could justify that is beyond me. Sure, you may believe in "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," but how then are you better than the person you're punishing?
On another level, we would be executing him for executing others who don't agree with his political ideology. And we don't believe in executing people who don't agree with our political ideology. So because of this, we're going to execute someone who doesn't agree with our political ideology. Way to go, assholes.
If Saddam is executed, I really will laugh hard. While I'm watching the event on rotten.com, of course.

The only people who will be executing him is the Iraqi people via an Iraqi court trial.
Personally, I'd like to see him on Parkinson: well-groomed in a smart suit, smoking a cigar and chatting about his life and loves... I bet he's hilarious.

Stick him back down that hole again, I say. And throw down a Furby you can't turn off.
Wouldn;t that be a blatant breach of the Geneva convention?

No, that will be reserved for the former Iraqi Information Minister.

No, but only because back then Furbys weren't around to legislate against.

But right now I'm not sure that there is an 'Iraqi court trial' to be had. Presumably the old justice system was riddled with Saddam's cronies, and any new system won't have a democratic basis until Iraq is being run by an elected rather than an appointed council.
In any case, is killing someone - however evil - really a sensible way to start the life of a newly free nation?

Well I'm against the death-penalty even for genoicidal tyrants... but that's easy to say from where I'm standing.

Thanks for pulling this topic back out of the toilet.
Allow me to put it back in again:
When does Saddam have his dinner?
When Tariq 'as 'is.
I think there will be rich comic material in finding Saddam down a hole: this thread is surely the place to test drive new jokes and revive old ones?
