I agree.
I realised I might run into trouble tonight as a death penalty opponent.
I refer you to the ever-dapper Mr. Snow:

If ever a man needed hanging, to paraphrase an old Texas saying, it's Saddam Hussein! I'd throw the lever on the trap door myself.
He used chemical weapons against the Kurds, ran a sadistic murdering police state featuring 'rape rooms' in his prisons, and for special executions, fed people feet-first into industrial-sized shredders, not to mention lesser punishments consisting of amputations, a lot of which was lovingly recodred on video! A complete and thorough-going bastard!
