Most people still view him as a criminal who deserved the death penalty. As far as I can tell, the media and the Bush haters are the only ones who are upset that he was yelled at during his execution.

Without a doubt Saddam is murderer, however, All what we stand for in the west is lost in the East. We stand for justice yet justice was not served. Saddam's trial was about 150 men killed not the genocides that he committed. I wonder why? Would his genocides trials implicate the US in masterminding his rampage killings? We shall never know. They killed him without knowing the truth. But they think we "can't handle the truth".
Anyways, the bad timing and the way that he was killed leave lots to desire about the US control of Iraq. Now that makes you wonder. Where are Maliki loyalties lies, to Muqtada or his masters in the US? From the look of it his loyalties are to Muqtada. Muqtada is another thug that is fulling the sectarian violence in Iraq. The US will turn on Maliki the way it turned on it former puppet Saddam. You can mark this post. The US will end up funding the Sunnies to fight the Muqtada.

many across the region began looking at him as a martyr.

Romantics can romanticize anything.

There are still people who weep for the death of Hitler, mourn Mussolini, cry for the end of the Soviet Union.

There are even people who romanticize Benedict Arnold.

When it's about human beings, it's called a cult of personality.
