You know as bad as the person was I think to execute a person, to take matters into our own hands is wrong. I believe that only God can be the judge and executioner. Regardless of how much pain he has caused to others. We have no right in this matter. I am against capital punishment. May God have mercy on his soul.

I agree...as I've said so often, systems are the enemy, not men! Sadam was a ruthless murderer and will answer for his acts, but there is no need to kill him...he can be incarcerated for life and not be a threat to anyone. Once executed, he may well become a martyr to the radical Islamists regardless of the truth of his life. The focus should be on ending the civil war in Iraq and addressing all the hatred, not killing some old harmless man. I know if it was my family that he tortured, I'd want revenge...but that's what it would be...revenge, not justice.
