Saddam's fate

The world holds its breath while the trial of the former Iraqi dictator (Saddam Hussein) begins. he has been accused of commiting the following crimes;

• gassing of 5,000 people in the Kurdish village of Halabja in March 1988;
• the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, during which around a million people died;
• the 1990 invasion of Kuwait, and the violent suppression of a Shiite uprising the following year

and many others, there is hope amongst the people of Iraq after the evil dictator was captured whilst found hidding in his home-town of Tikrit in December 2003. Thousands of Iraqi's believe that Saddam should face the death penalty for all that he made people suffer under his regime "In Dujail, villagers including women clutching pictures of slain relatives, waved banners urging "death for Saddam Hussein"." but will the world see justice and this man put to death, or should his lawyers be clever enough to get an extention so as this man may walk free despite all the pain and suffering he has caused?
