In reality, personally I think his death is a bad thing. I don't agree with the death penalty, and I don't agree with an eye-for-an-eye in this case. His life was taken, he took many lives. That solves nothing. He did deserve to die, but however, think of the effect this will have on the war, and politically, economically. First, Iraq is going to go into a heavy civil war. The conflict between the Sunni and the Shi'ites will nothing but intensify, and the UN will have to completely seize control of the country. Not to mention send more troops over to deal with the impending conflict. More and more money will be put into the military, and taken from other important things. Also not to mention that the impending seizure of control of the UN and America will do nothing but increase hostilities against Western society, and likely be a gateway to terrorism which this war in Iraq had nothing to do with in the first place.

Its a good thing Saddam was removed from power, and that would likely improve the country, but his death is going to drive the country to a bigger and more intense war, with more suicide bombings and more deaths which the country will not recover from for centuries. And our Western society will continue to try and stabalize the country putting more and more money into it. So not only is this bad for Iraq, its bad for us. I dont think I even have to mention the number of troop casualties we'll suffer.
