There's nothing wrong with letting people see the system at work. Public executions serve a valuable purpose which extends far beyond "blood lust." The execution was far more humane than the treatment the Iraqis received from him.
I don't enjoy watching the video, but it's important that Saddam's millions of victims realize that he's really gone for good.
I completely agree.

I agree also that for the Iraqis who were victimized for so long, watching this would be a sort of catharsis. But I assume you are not one of his millions of victims.
So if you don't enjoy it, why watch it?
