I fear this will lead to more violence

It probably will, but it could go the other way and deter many other “would be” Saddams from doing the same as he did (although I have my doubts as to whether this would be the case).

I think that if they are going to hang him, they should at least wait 20-30 years (for example) and let him suffer a bit before hand. I think that would serve as more of a deterrant.

Mark.
