no doubt Saddam doesn't deserve mercy for this murderous regime but his death could mean serious trouble for US, Iraq and its people and the neighbours.
It is very much possible that after his death his announced, the Sunnis will launch voilent attacks against the Shias. Iraq is already under grip of voilence, instability, this rise in Sunni voilence will only make matters worse.
Also, Saddam's death will further fuel Sunni anger against the US and Western Allies. As a result we could see more attacks against the US troops. Attcks against US interests in the Arab countries could also happen.
Iraq's neighbours Jordan and Syria which have large Sunni population could see increased anit-US and anit-Western world sentiments, possibly attacks against western interests in the country.
I am for death penalty for voilent criminals, but in case of Saddam, his death could mean more civilian casulties and destruction of Iraq. This is one criminal who should be kept behind bars for life, not killed.
