He's been on trial for it seems like for the three years since he's been out of power, and it's going on three years since he was captured after he lost control of Iraq. This morning I wake up and found that he was sentenced to be hung after his trial. He was tried for the 1982 murders of Shiites in the city of Dujail.
Of course this was one of many crimes of the Hussein's regime. There were plenty of mass graves found in Iraq. We saw video of how his regime treated people mainly the videos of men getting their fingers chopped and men getting thrown off of building (not very tall but they still got thrown off). Oh and there are those who allege that he doesn't have weapons of mass destruction, well he did kill some Kurds back in 1988 with some chemical weapons.
Agree or disagree with the current campaign in Iraq, I will say that the world is better off without him. After all they didn't call him the butcher of Baghdad for nothing.
