Should Saddam Hussein be executed?

I am against the death penalty in any situation. That for me is the only reaon for opposing the execution of Saddam Hussein. It doesn't matter wheteher or not it would make him a martyr. To me, the death penalty is immoral. Full stop. That said, the real point is who is responsible for judging him. If Iraq is to be an independent country, then it is up to the iraqi courts to judge him and to decide whether or not he should be executed. Countries which oppose the death penalty should campaign and put pressure on Iraq to abolish the death penalty be it for Saddam Hussein or anyone else.
