It's natural to want people who did things you find reprehensible to suffer, but that doesn't make it moral to actually do that to that person (either yourself or through the justice system). Just because Sadaam was a cruel man who unhesitatingly had large numbers of people killed doesn't mean that it's any more right to kill him than it was for him to kill his victims. People often lose sight of the line between wishing something to be for their own benefit and what is actually right...
We have minds. Instincts are what is natural, but not always what is right.
