Totally taken aback, made me speechless. Its one of the gravest mistake US has done and they will realise it in future. It must have left a scare on all Shiite muslims and made them permanent enemy of US. I don't know how long US can turn a blind eye towards the hostility it is generating all across the globe and continue its 'US is the GOD' policy. When Saddam had 30 days, why he was hanged within hrs of rejection plea is debatable. But I do feel sorry for him. May his soul be in peace and historian do justice to him.
