I'd actually like to see him toured through the streets of each major Iraqi city, shackled to a post or at least held in a cage with very wide bars.
As for the trial, I think it is somewhat important that the US go the International route just because of the importance of seeming fair and allowing the world to have its say on what happens to a man who very much affected the world. This is not so much for the fairness of Saddam as it would be to improve the image the US has with war crimes trials, etc. Since Bush unsigned us from any involvement with the internaional criminal court in 2002, we don't exactly have a good image with other countries who are trying to bring other people to justice for war crimes.
