I saw the video of the moments before the hanging. Saddam seemed calm and appeared to be asking questions of his executioners.
I can think of a lot of politicians who would have been wetting themselves in a similar situation. People in this country are conditioned by the media to believe that all evil bastards are cowards. This is a dangerous mistake when fighting guys like the Waffen SS, Khmer Rouge, and various insurgent groups. In a situation where both sides feel that they have divine guidance it can be downright stupid.
I hope this moment was worth 300 billion dollars and tens of thousands of lives.
