He once attacked with his arab hordes Iran and in the 8 year war 1 million iranians died (130000 of them by poison gas).
So I was happy first when I heared that Saddam was executed. I called my cousin in Teheran because I thought that he also would be happy (He has been crippled as a boy during one of Saddams missile attacks on iranian cities).
But he was not happy. He said that now for Saddam everything is over. He would have better lived in a prison for long years - suffering and with no hope instead of becoming a martyr of the sunnites.
Now I still feel good because of the news but also I have mixed feelings, because I fear my cousin could be right.
