TEHRAN, Iran: Iranians praised Sunday's death sentence against ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and said they hoped he would continue to be tried for other alleged crimes against humanity.

"The death sentence for Saddam was a matter of happiness for me. He was a war criminal and a vampire in the current history," said Kazen Jalai, a spokesman for Iran's parliamentarian committee of national security and foreign policy.

Just after Saddam was sentenced in a Baghdad courtroom, Iran' state-run television interrupted its regular program to announce: "A court in Iraq sentenced Saddam, the collapsed dictator to death."

3. I wouldn't be a fan, either

If another country (Iraq) decided to use Reagan's bio-weapons to poison my country (Iran). There's no love lost between Iraq and Iran. Saddam was pretty fond of poisoning people by the thousands. (Just ask the Kurds!) Saddam is/was a real murdering prick in the truest sense of the word. Hanging is too good for him. If there was any justice, he should serve his sentence in Iran after being transported there by Kurds.
