Shock in viewing the disturbing images of the execution of Saddam is natural. The outrage over the violent nature is also natural. However the end of Saddam is prototypical of many dictators.
Czar Nicholas: Whole family led to basement and gunned down.
Hitler: Shot himself after poisoning his wife
Mussolini: Hanged then disembowled along with his wife
Tojo: Hanged
Chowchesku: led into field and shot along with his wife
So the ending of Husain's life was about what you would expect. I am sure it came as no surprise to him.
