The former President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, was implicated in the killing of between 50,000 and 100,000 people.

In 2006, he was sentenced to death by hanging for committing crimes against humanity.

But do his crimes justify his death? Should we be writing him off as evil or is it worth trying to empathise with him? And does revenge actually make us feel good in the long run?
