Except here in the States - where a criminal convicted by a jury of his peers can sit in a cell for decades, going through appeals, and finally die after having lived in prison (at taxpayers' expense) to a ripe old age.
Justice was served quickly. Personally, I don't have any problem with the "death sentence", because I believe in an after-life: you can't destroy a soul's energy, it just gets transformed. Sure, Saddam has to say bye-bye to this world, but he'll manifest somewhere else - like standing for judgement before the all-powerful Creator.
