the way he came to power is completely irrelevant to his trial.
saddam still has enough support among the iraqi people (not to mention the rest of the arab world) that to serve him with an unfair trail would risk initiating another wave of violence against americans. if the us government truly wants to help the iraqi's to create a democratic society we must help them to create a fair court system where everyone, even the most guilty among us, is granted a fair trail.
