I am in favour of killing him, slowly if possible. If we look at the results, we have two options:
1) Keeping him alive (in a third country if need be), only to remain a constant shadow over the future of Iraq; "He might return one day," will be the thoughts of both friends and allies...
2) Killing him might make him a martyr to his followers, but at least he'd be dead. He won't be coming back for a revolution, and he won't inspire/fund an armed uprising.
Interesting side-note, by the way: Hamas already critized the US for capturing Saddam (and showing it on the telly), because this was somehow insulting and humiliating to Arabs and Muslims worldwide... Bunch of morons. (And don't get me started on the Vatican, which *also* attacks the US for showing Saddam, as if he was an animal.)
