Saddam; a hero or a war criminal?!

Almost a week passed since Saddam execution, media all over the world - Arab media intensively- still discussing this heavy event.
Some say he died like a hero, others say he deserved it
Some believe he was a criminal murder, others believe he repented before death.
If I asked any Arabian wheather he agrees Saddam execution or not, he'll stop before answering to think what to say.
Yes he agrees he had to be punished, yet he doesn't agree timing!
Saddam was autocrat who was daunting citizens, kill anyone opposing his opinions or even thinking without expressing, he & his men invented unprecedented means of atrocious torturing (I guess they r applying Saddam's school in Juantenamo :) yeah bad joke) but why they chosen that day?!!!!!
Choosing that day is an American creation, they forced the court to execute at this timing deliberately, an Islamic feast, and shame on you masked hangmen & cameraman, you masked your face & didn’t cover his face,to let him feel insulted till the last moment of his life... well,, you insulted the meaning of death not Saddam,,, he was just a man.
May be he lived all his life as a murder, but at this moment, we all saw a hero not a criminal. Even though, I & many still dislike him!

For just noting: Ariel Sharon never impeached officially for his crimes& blood baths in Sabra&Shateela, not for comparing,,,, but for reminding it's all in Washington's hands.

Message for governing structures in Iraq:
Be aware, Keep bowing to Washington and you'll lose your great deep-rooted culture, your humanity & yourselves.
