Well it depends. I think you are thinking moral versus legal.
He had absolute power so what he did was legal. As far as Iraq as a nation-state is concerned.
I am not saying he is not a bad guy. I am just saying we should just quietly execute him versus creating a sham trial.
But I would have done that at Nuremburgh also, just shot them all and spared us the bad drama.

I'm pretty certain that murder is illegal (and was illegal when it happened) in Iraq.
