Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging at noon local Iraqi time.
He was sentenced for the willful execution of 148 men and boys as retribution for a failed coup attempt. He will now receive an automatic appeal within 10 days. If the sentence is upheld, and the country doesn't go ballistic the world will soon be without the presence of Saddam Hussein.
Now the important thing is to wait and watch and learn how the Iraqi people will react to this development. He is still under trial for several other cases. That will not delay his execution.
If the sentence is upheld, he will be executed and in the other trials, he will face trial by absentia.
