Am I glad he was executed? You got it! After seeing everything he has put the citizens of Iraq through (just watch some of those documentaries where they show footage of him shooting hundreds of men in his military in the head, with garbage bags over their head). I'm not going to shed a tear for the man as he was an extremist and a part of the terrorist regime. By no means are extremists or terrorists(I know there is a difference between the two and i'm not saying extremists = terrorists) going to be lessoned by his execution, but he acted as a symbol of that, and that symbol has been removed.
However, do I need to watch the video of him dying? No, because that really isn't necessary. Now I see why some people would want to watch it(just to ensure he indeed is no more, for satisfaction, or maybe even for the hoopla the media streams will document it over the nex little while), but for me I don't think watching the video of him being executed gives me any added satisfaction. The act has been done, and that's that.
